We learnt a few terms in the same class.

Lighting Grid- Thsi is the structure that hangs on the ceiling and hold the lights and microphones up.

Cool Lights- Large Rectangular lights which use a special type of bulb, that emits a 'soft light'. This is usually done in a wide area and gives it a subtle tone, the have large 'Barn Doors' which can open and close, manipulating the way the light is projected

Or Stob for short, this is what everythign connects to for power.

For a 4 Camera production of a quiz show, the number of crew could be about 22! This would include;

4 Camera Operators
2 Camera Assitants
----
1 Host
6 Talent
----
3 Sound Operators (1 is an emergency one)
2 Light Operators
1 Visual Operator
----
1 Director
1 Floor Manager
1 FM Assitant

All of these people must work in sync in order to create and well done porgramme. If one persons screws it up, it could jeopordise the entire production.
We also were todl that the Producer's main responsibily was 'Editorial. This mean the content that went into the programme was his territory, once you begin shooting the Director becomes the new god for it duration, till post-production.
