Studio shows are centred around a set (normally some standard procedure sofas) with cameras in-front and lighting above and in-front. For the sake of this guide, we'll just use a simple generic setup.  
Studio shows are centred around a set (normally some standard procedure sofas) with cameras in-front and lighting above and in-front. For the sake of this guide, we'll just use a simple generic setup. There are some known foibles in the studio, the radiator in the corner next to the fire exit for example, sometimes makes a bit of a noise which can be an issue for sound setup. On the same note, we also have a (sometimes) busy corridor behind the fire exit that occasionally has maths students (AHHHHHHHHH) who also produce a lot of noise. Unless it's something very official (like YUSU elections) we can't really tell them to shut up. So the best option is just to roll with it.

Camera setup will likely depend on the show being shot. Almost all shows will need to be at least 3 cameras (wide and 2 mids), with the wide being the master and the 2 mid shots being, say, 1 for the 2 guests and 1 for the 2 presenters. Further on from this, tight shots can be introduced.
For example, for a Tea time chat episode, we use;
* 1 Camera as a master wide of the 2 sofas which make up the set
* 1 Camera in the Teleprompter [[Autocue|The AutoDerp]] as a mid on the presenters
* 1 Camera focused on the 2 guests as both a mid and (as it's operated) a tight shot as and when the director needs tight shots
* 1 Camera next to the Teleprompter to act as a tight on one or other of the presenters
Obviously, this setup can be simplified to just 3 rather than 4 but the 4th allows for redundancy. This setup actually applies to a bunch more shows than just a tea time chat and can be expanded further to work with larger shows or more redundancy.
Example: Further additions
* 1 Camera overhead onto an area of interest in the set, a piece of paper or someone doing a task etc (normally a GoPro)
* 1 or 2 audience cameras
* Always keep a safety wide, when things go fucky you go'n need a panic wide. This normally can be a static camera without an operator. Often for studio shows like [[hist:Tea Time Chat|Tea Time chat]] can be very useful as this is our training show and thus things are more likely to go wrong.
      * Equally, a wide of part of the set like 1 sofa through the autocue can be very useful when switching guests.
