- Next i would place the vision mixer because they are the people who decides what camera goes next and they make the shots in the show.
- Next i would place the sound mixer as they control the sound which is important to the show because the audience needs to be able to hear what is happening.
- Next i would place the floor manager because they only control the floor and where things are placed in the studio, however they are also important because they deal with technical issues.
