Had a privilege to learn from such professionals. One of the incharge
Mr.Asim zuberi from PTV Home who had an experience from more than 40
(Forty) years, guided us through the entire trip in a very intellectual manner
which helped us to understand every single thing properly.
Firstly, we went to control room A and He gave us details about the recording live telecasting
shows. There were three types of equipments/controllers. which were was controlled by the
staff members and supervised by the producer. The equipments for the live show were ; Light,
Audio and Sound and set setti . Whatever were goes on screen is controlled by control room.
VIT (oldly known as VCRs) is a source for recording videos. There has to be three different
angles one for close-up and one on right and one on left.
After that we visited another studio, which had one room but two different sets one was of
puppet show and other was of, sports. Then we visited the Master control room. The final clips
to be telecast are send to the Master control room.
Afterwards we moved towards post production room. This is the place where producer decides
that what he exactly is going to show on the screen. There Mr.Asim Zuberi told us that editing is
an art and every single person do not know how to do it wisely, its a technique one can
manipulate the truth and it depends whatever an individual wants to show.
Then the last but not the least, we went at the roof of the building there another information we
got to know that Signals were transmitted by satellite and sometimes they get them late too and
because of that they have to give a break to the viewers what if there is any live show or news
going on. At the end we went to the office of Miss Farkhanda Shaheen. Head of the PTV home,
there we gave our introduction and shared our thoughts about media. we got to learn a lot. She
was impressed and advised us regarding our future. Further told us that PTV is a state own
channel and they are following the rules of PEMRA (Pakistan electronic media regulatory
authority). She moreover gave us the confirmation that the news they on air is 100 percent
authentic. And the channel is run by the Government of Pakistan as a Islamic nation. They
moreover shared that one has to be very responsible for whatever news he or she on airs on
