In digital media overlays are transparent images or text placed over another image or video to 1. visuals or provide additional details. For example, in this video overlays are used to show 2. and stats on the 3. . The augmented 4. , together with catchy graphics, create an immersive atmosphere for the 5. .

Shooting Live
Each sports event has an element of drama… it may be a known personal story or one that develops during the event and it’s part of the job to try and convey that along with the immediate action on the field. They are the best moments. Yes, you do need to think on your feet, but this is where you rely so heavily on a great crew. So many times you are lucky enough to be surrounded by talented and skilled camera, EVS (Enhanced Vision System), sound and CCU (Camera Control Unit) operators, your ace in the hole. These people will often react before you have a chance to ask, especially because you may not have the time to ask… Competitor and crowd reactions to special moments are as important as capturing the moment itself. A great crew are listening to the commentators, they are looking outside their box and taking in what the bigger picture is. A director is only as good as the crew supporting him/her and anyone who thinks they are above that is fooling themselves. Another challenge is technology. It is moving ahead in leaps and bounds and, with it, the style of coverage. 3D challenged the way we shot and cut sports, but it lasted only a couple of years. Now we have the advent of VR, “second screen” viewing, remote production, the opportunities opened up with streaming – and it all changes the way you need to work.
