My Roles - Production - Floor Manager

http://www.prospects.ac.uk/television_floor_manager_job_description.htm

This job role website gives a very large list of responsibilities for this aspect of production, however because of our lack of a live audience and because of our small departments a lot of these roles are less needed. My primary responsibility for our production will be to relay directions for the actors and crew from the studio onto the silent set using a series of hand signals. I will have to indicate how long til we air, whether the actors need to speed up or slow down to fill time or make time and if the actors need to change position to become more or less visible to the camera. To do all this I will need to learn the standard floor managing hand signals which are pictured below.
