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. | |||
