Studio Protocol and Practice

IN THE STUDIO, THERE ARE STRICT PROTOCOL THAT MUST BE FOLLOWED:

• No running in the studio because the cameras have long cables that trail along the floor and could become a hazard within the studio.

• No food and drink in the studio because they could spill and this in turn could irritate the cameras and microphones and could cause a risk of electrocution. 

• No messing about on the (cans) headsets, only talk if its vital during your role, don't use the cans for general conversation as they are each connected up with each other on the same radio wavelength and this wavelength is important for the director and floor manager to give critical instructions upon set, it would be much more difficult to be able to communicate with banter happening within the background.

• Only allow people in the studio who are needed as a part of production as there is a limitation in floor space and it is better to only have the original people in the studio during the production.

• Wear the correct shoe wear, wearing any boots or hard sole shoes could prevent risk. If you accidentally stood on a cable, there could be a possibility of damaging it, wearing this shoe wear could also mark the studio floor, in all justification it is better to wear soft sole shoes such as trainers as there would be less of a potential risk of breaking cables and they would not mark the studio floor.
