Camera angles

[masai]

When watching footy on TV, I've become use to getting pretty good coverage working up from 2 cameras in black and white throught to nowdays where we have scores of cameras.

The coverage yesterday had me reaching for the Bex. I got totally confused at times with all the camera angles and where tha ball actually was. Being a sports director for footy can't be that hard. Are they trying to show the footy from too many angles?.

KISS - keep it simple stupid.

I haven't watched too many of the Sunday Ch9 games this year, so I don't know if it's a SCG thing or a Rugby background director, but the amount of low-boundary line level shots yesterday was awful! You couldn't see what was happening... who was on a lead, shepherding or anything.

Very poor. I'd prefer a constant wide-shot to the up close and personal shot during the play.

Yeah, just another sign of the total unprofessionalism of Channel 9, bar Dennis. I'd expect it to get worse as they chuck a major sook over their probable loss of the TV rights.
