Roast SCG Camera Angles for Set Shots at goal (Foxtel Coverage)

[Jeffers]

Don't know about you, but i definitely was not a fan of the camera angle that was used for shots at goal to the Randwick end of the SCG. To me this angle was too far out and obviously had to rely on the crowds reaction to have any indication if the ball was going through the big sticks.

I definitely feel that the best angle is behind the kicker to give the viewer the best indication of the set shot.

I hope this won't be a permanent thing at the SCG.

And why are centre bounces being filmed from the sydney football stadium roof or whoever sponsors that ground now

I will accept any angle if they get rid of dwayne russell

Just look at the goal umpire. If he's standing still its a goal, if he's scrambling then it is a s**t kick

When you are watching on your phone it is absolutely useless. I guess it's because they want to use that unnecessary circle / triangle computer graphic. Maybe if they switched to a closer view as the ball approached the goal it wouldn't suck as bad.

Maybe they don't have a behind the kicker camera because the stands aren't finished yet?

Yeah this was a bloody pain in the arse. The camerawork was s**t all night though, not just the set shots. I also found it really difficult to track the ball against the crowd when the sun was setting

Will the networks ever learn. Bloody more annoying than the MRS talking to you when the game is on

Not overly happily with the broadcast, but the stadium is yet to be fully complete so wel see what happens in the future

Not just the set-shot camera angles, the camera angle for normal play has always been utter crap too. It is far too low and the viewer loses the sense of depth for the play. The angle is the worst of the main stadiums and does not make for good tv, let alone growing the game in Sydney.

One improvement is the audio which they fixed about 3-4 years ago. There used to be a constant 'clappy-clacking' audio noise that occurred throughout games in the past. It sounded like hard plastic clacking in the wind against a hard surface, and it drove me nuts for years before they finally fixed it.

One day they will get their s*** together and fix the camera angle too.

As someone who's never been to the SCG, can someone tell me why this is the case?

Hard to say I know the swans have either cameras set up for there game reviews maybe our cameras are in the best spot?
