DVD and inserts

Operating the DVD is the most crucial part of the quiz show, as it contains all the VT inserts and opening and ending credits along with any stings for the question titles that we made for our quiz show. The DVD operator has to make they play the right insert at the right time for that part of the show that the insert is required.

When making inserts they should all be same screen ratio 16:9 and all the same file type PAL. Another thing to remember is when making inserts try to make them about 7 seconds in length, 1 second of black at the beginning 5 seconds of video and another 1 second of black at the end. This is because it allows the director and vision mixer time to cut to the VT insert and cut away from the insert a little easier as there is room for error should any happen during live filming.
