I decided to chuck in the basic job description of the two studio roles I have in the kids show, stage hand and VT.
A stagehand is a person who works backstage on a theatrical performance. Their duties include setting up the scenery, lights, sound, and props for a production. Stagehands are often on the path to becoming a Designer or Director.
The VT Operator cues and prepares video inserts into a programme. Heavily used in sports programming, they are also responsible for action replays and quickly editing highlights while a show is in progress.
Pretty much thats the basic outline that wikipedia gives you, and it's basically what we were told by Pat and Bruce, just not as in depth.
I've also put the descriptions of the two roles I had in inserts, camera and sound.
As the head member of the camera crew, the camera operator uses the camera as coached by the director. They are accountable for maintaining the required action is correctly filmed in the frame, and needs to react instinctively as the proceedings take place. If the camera operator is also a cinematographer, they also help establish the theme and appearance of the show.
A sound engineer is responsible for making sure that audio is recorded in the desired way, and also that the quality of the audio is as good as possible. A sound engineer may also use a boom microphone in some circumstances to record audio.
