AS Live - Del workshops

Research the Floor Manager hand signals and learn them. 






































Research the Sony MVS-6530 vision mixing desk and learn about keys and keying graphics on the screen. The Sony vision mixing desk comes is “a three mix effect (M/E) switcher with four keyers on each bus and eight keyers on the PP row.” (2020)

Find out how to make a lower third graphics with an associated ALPHA channel. Then find out how we send this to the vision mixing desk (luminance, linear, chroma keys) When creating a lower third, the ALPHA channel is used to ‘key certain parts out certain portions of your graphics.’ (Hurguy, 2011), This is often shown as the keyed out part of an image being white and where there is black, is where the video will show through.

Research TV sound audio mixing, find out what a PPM is and what it is used for with regard to audio monitoring. A PPM (known as a ‘Portable Programme Meter’) is used to measure how many people are exposed/listening to radio stations and cable TV.

Terminology: Define the following TV terms:
VT – Video Tape
SOT – Sound on Tape
ULAY – An abbreviation for ‘Out of Vision’, which is a sequence of floating pictures about the presenter that helps to illustrate what they are talking about
L3 / LOWER THIRD - a lower third is a graphic placed in either the right or left corner or the screen. They are commonly used in the news, when a news presenter, host or the speaker appears on-screen.
IEM – In-ear monitors, musicians often used them during concerts, but they are used in TV for communication between the floor team and the gallery during a taping of a show.
FOLD BACK – A cueing system used within TV filmmaking, radio and video production. It is used for one way communication between the director or assistant director to on-air on remote location talent. 
TALK BACK – is done through walkie-talkies and headsets from the floor crew to the team in the gallery. This is used in mainly in live shows and news, and is used by directors and/or producers to talk directly to the team on the floor, or to cast through commands, instructions and even pieces of script in case cast may forget their lines.
PAN – A ‘Pan’ movement is where the camera sweeps, either slowly or quickly, form either left to right or vice versa depending on what the director wants from the shot.
TILT – A ‘Tilt’ is similar to a Pan in this sense, although instead of going right to left, a Tilt goes up and down.

What is your understanding of the term:
“CUE PRESENTER” – For this, presenters are given a countdown before a show goes live or starts being recorded, allowing the presenter themselves and the cast/crew around them to be ready for when the show goes live. This is done so the presenter isn’t looking awkward or unaware of anything during the taping.
