Technical Standards for the Degree Show

I have just attended at talk with Mike Davidson, who is the Head of Broadcasting and he has talked through the standart for programmes at the Degree Show.  Here are some important notes that I took about how the final film should be delivered for Ravensbourne 2012 in June.

• HD Programmes delivered on HDCamSR tapes

• 1920 x 1080 pixels at 25 FPS

• Interlaced = when each line is split (i.e. 1080i)

• Timecode: EBU Colour Bars and Tone at 09:57:00:00, Clock at 09:59:20:00, programme starts at 10:00:00:00

• Name of programme, description of first shot and director placed on clock.

• Audio: PPM is zero level, each division is 4db.  It is better to be on the quieter side, but important not to go too far over as it will start distorting

• EPILEPSY: The programme itself must be produced in a way that it should not trigger epileptic seizures, no flashing images

These are a set of standards that I will be referring to throughout the year in order to make sure that our film project is up to standard.
