Television production is very different in that it requires one to be heavily constrained by time, requires distribution to television networks, and allows them to broadcast their show through different services. Time constraints make the writing of the script much more faster paced compared to a blockbuster movie. In a span of one blockbuster movie being made, a writer for a tv production can write thirteen 45 minute episodes. A show can be finished from a couple weeks to a couple hours before the show is aired. Once the entire episode is finished, the episode must get distributed to broadcasters around the country. While movie screenings have the movie theater to distribute their movie, tv episodes have different services to choose from to air their show. including Cable, Network TV, and streaming. I found it interesting that they were able to finish an entire episode in such as short amount of time. The writer must write quickly, the editors much make the final cut efficiently, and the production team needs to work together to meet those due dates.
