I've taken to just sampling the show now as I enjoy the discussion around machinations in the corporate and media world, less so the navel gazing and airport segment. I thought there was a lot of waste today - over 8 mins arguing over Pendles and another 5 or 6 on the ABC stealing Damo's...
Got me thinking, why does nobody seem to mind the format of the nightly news? It's news, sport then weather. 7 days a week, on every network. Never changes. Also it's the same people appearing, every night. Now granted the news doesn't normally offer opinion, but nevertheless the format is...
Of course the other way to look at it is it was the #1 rating program that night on Foxtel. Also that number was for the live show. It didn't take into account streaming or replay views.
I actually don't know how any of the commentators learn players so well they can recall them immediately in live play. I mean you can study the two teams playing that day but some of these commentators are calling two or even three games each weekend across TV and radio. That's 6 teams you need...
Was it this one (NRL version posted)? The band is Young Royals.
Fox has been doing this for a couple of years now across NRL and AFL where they get a band or singer to record a performance. Both codes use it with their own highlights. Baker Boy was another
Given the impending battle likely to take place over funding the new stadium in Hobart, I'm not looking forward to when we hear about the Tassie Devils playing at Westpac Coca-Cola McDonalds Toyota BHP Pointsbet HCF Qantas Harvey Norman Park.
Probably the same person who told the commentators to wear shorts with white business shirts on the Big Bash. I swear Ch7's wardrobe policy is "just wear whatever your wife thinks looks nice".
It's less about having them miked up and more about how it sits in the overall mix. Ch7 has them very prominent whereas Fox sits them underneath everything else and only brings them up when it's relevant. I like being able to hear explanations of decisions though - it sounds weird watching a...
I wish they had a better producer. Hutchy like a dog with a bone trying to get Damo to admit he went to the North thing. Damo asking Hutchy questions about the racing deal then continually interrupting him to the point Hutchy had to tell him to shut up so he could answer - this would be so...
Getting fed up with the "I didn't watch this but someone sent it to me" disclaimer. Who gives a stuff how it came to your attention, just get to the point. It's like they're at pains to show they don't watch ACA or Media Watch or read the Herald Sun.
The final siren on Friday night spoke volumes to how 7 treats footy coverage. Newman takes a mark to pretty much put the result beyond doubt and they go to a great reaction of Crippa. After all - he emobides the Carlton story this finals series. A split second later the siren sounds and they...
Not at all - it's a balance yeah? My point was if the tight camera is a bit wider as you've suggested, they can stay on it longer because it can follow the ball more easily. That's a bad thing. You need the balance between tight and wide, but you also want the tight view tight enough that...
What happens then though is that the tight shot is wide enough to follow every single handball and even a short kick. After a couple of handballs and a short kick you suddenly don't know where you are on the ground anymore. Sure you can see the players around the contest, but where are they on...
The FIFA coverage of the Matilda's game last night was rubbish too. Sam Kerr goes nuts after scoring a goal and we get a view of the back of her head!
Anyway I don't think you can use soccer as a template for how AFL should be filmed. There are far fewer contests in soccer and where there is...
