A valuable read for anyone interested in pursuing a career in the 'controlled chaos' that is live television sports!" Curtis Saville Producer, Rogers Sportsnet _____ [Excerpt from Chapter 4] A script assistant provides a countdown to the top of the clock. "On air in 60, ...30, ...10 seconds to air." The director gives the standby to roll VTR gold and track tape. The script assistant continues, "In 5, 4, 3, 2..." The director gives the "roll gold" and "track gold" cue and the pre-recorded show tease and opening animation rolls to air. As the pre-taped opening ends the director provides crew instructions, "ready to go to camera 2, with graphics hot," meaning the graphics are in standby mode. "open their mics," "Pan 2," camera 2 begins a panoramic pan of the inside of the arena, "dissolve 2, fly the graphics" the technical director dissolves the sources and the graphics operator triggers the titles to fly onto the screen. The director cues the announcers to welcome the audience. You're ON THE AIR! The director opens a switch to speak to the announcers, "ready on camera," then to the rest of the crew "Ready Camera 6 on a 2-shot with a slight zoom - Zoom 6 - dissolve camera 6." The announcers introduce themselves to the audience and begin to provide details as to what will unfold over the course of the show. As the commentators make reference to key players, the director cuts between cameras which have been instructed to locate and provide images of these athletes. During the hour before the game, camera operators provided shots of various players warming up. These images were recorded by the videotape operators. A short edited montage or "bumper" was created to end this segment of the show. This is used to lead the audience to the first commercial break. The on-air talent is given the cue to wrap up their thoughts. The director continues with crew instructions, "ready to go to bumper from VTR blue with graphics hot for a blind reveal, ready to sneak in your music" the audio cue given to the A1. "Music in - roll blue and dissolve blue" to the technical director who mixes the sources. The graphic operator activates the lower third graphic revealing the names of the two teams. The announcers look at their court side TV monitor and add a voice-over to accompany the images being shown, ..".and we'll be right back with the opening line-ups after this short break..." _____ The feeling you receive from directing is akin to playing sports at a high level.

Download or read book Take One written by Jack Kuney and published by Praeger. This book was released on 1990-02-20 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since 1948 when television began its rapid--almost exponential--growth, America has literally focused on TV, but the average viewer has been unaware of the key behind-the-scenes role of the TV director. In Take One, Jack Kuney shows what the director does in his equipment-filled twilight zone--the TV control room. The author identifies the crucial aesthetic contribution of the director who in selecting shots determines not only what millions of viewers will see but also how closely they will see them and in what sequence. More important, Kuney's interviews affirm that generally the director's talent, aesthetic judgements, and instincts set the tone of the program and determine a show's impact on its audience. The volume consists of a series of ten interviews, collected over a period of four years, with directors of television programs, each a specialist in a different field, who show a diversity that ranges from New York to Hollywood, the Metropolitan Opera to the Super Bowl. Their insights explain that various types of programs dictate the degree of the director's involvement: the director's role changes with the nature of the program, be it concert, game show, news, discussion, documentary, special event, drama, panel show, or the Miss America Pageant. In each interview the author's commentary acts as a guide and summation to the observations of the director. Dealing with the unique aesthetics of contemporary television, Take One is the most up-to-date work in the field and will be important and useful reading for students of production, and aspiring directors in the field.
