Steve,
I was not suggesting to focus only on winning teams, on the contrary!
I want to see everyone and not just a single robot which happens to be next to the cameraman....
Most matches see incomprehensible to me due to the constant POV changes.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Think about sports:
Real sport games are shot in the wide view, and the close ups are reserved for the instant replays. (millions of people agree that this way is at least marginally more entertaining than watching grass grow
)
Sports movies are with the "you are on the field" POV, because no one really cares what's going on - they want the dramatic shot.
When you want to understand what's going on you go for the wide shot.
When you want to dramaticize the event you go for the close-up.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I must agree with Ken:
The answer to "Who is the audience for the mixed video?" is most likely the audience at the event (as far as the cameramen are concerened).
and this is the main cause for why the video is shot they way it shot.
I
suggest that people in charge of recording videos for the web and TBA try and get the wide angle feed 100% of the time.
I would even go as far as to say that it is more important to have the wide angle feed than have the score keeper at the bottom of the screen.
Just my 0.02NIS....
