formerly known as ivan Posted August 30, 2020 Report Share Posted August 30, 2020 Watching the goals from the friendly yesterday couldn’t help but notice the camera work was shocking, couldn’t keep up with play, as well as the angle being so low. For those who watched the games after the restart on BCTV can you advise if this is the standard you would expect/experienced or was it just an off day?

It can change when we are away and the home crew do the videoing. Where they need to improve is the commentary, often waffling on about who has the best haircut when Wells has entered the opposition box or we are under attack for example . Also to cut down on the excruciating numb headed optimism like , with City clearly being hammered they’ll say things like ‘ City have 5 minutes to turn round ‘ when even Stevie Wonder could see that no way would it happen. I often turn the commentary off which is a shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just didn’t film a friendly properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bris Red Posted August 30, 2020 Report Share Posted August 30, 2020 Got to be honest i hate the normal camera position we have in the Lansdown for Sky games etc. Way too high up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure about the whole infrastructure though. 4 minutes ago, And Its Smith said: It’s nothing like that on a proper game.

Lrrr Posted August 30, 2020 Report Share Posted August 30, 2020 From the footage on social media just looks like a member of the media team probably had a camera & tripod out filming from the stand, perhaps that platform area above the tunnel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with that. Think the camera position should be where the directors sit in their box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought Paul Simpson did a cracking job on his IPhone 7 standing on top of a picnic bench, adding value that might just be the difference between playoffs and Automatic promotion come the end of the season.

Victory Park Reds Posted August 31, 2020 Report Share Posted August 31, 2020 I went down to the pizza on the pitch event yesterday and very good that was. It was lovely to be back home.I did notice that there was a scaffolding structure above where the journalists sits.This I imagine is for the tv equipment.Looks like this part of the stadium won’t be used for a while I,e test events.

chucky Posted August 31, 2020 Report Share Posted August 31, 2020 From experience (amateur all be it) if you're not use to doing this sort of thing, it's easy to follow the game with your eyes without realising your not following it with the camera. Pros will follow the game through the camera generally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They generally only have one angle and there really is no excuse in an empty stadium not to place a few cameras closer to the action. The commentary is awful but I do like Downsie's higher or lower.

Nobody ever loses! Post-covid the camera set up was different, I think Sky were behind more camera angles, etc. I’m sure someone will correct me if wrong.

Yes Dave, that is what I am saying Sky and indeed other clubs seem to manage extra angles, but City never have for their own footage and their BCTV or RobinsTV streaming (where Sky is not involved). At times I have watched the footage from RamsTV, or wherever, and it is far better even when they are the away side at Ashton Gate. The footage for the friendlies was a lower angle but was still only one angle. Maybe we need to invest in a couple of extra cameras. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
