Familiarity with the vocabulary of media production, especially related to film, television and new media is an important part of being an effective communications professional. It is important to note that these terms may differ from region to region and country to country. Also that there is significant overlap between film and television but that there are also differences. For example, in film there is a Director of Photography or D.P. and in a television studio you are much more likely to run into a Lighting Director or L.D.
