Studio Protocol and Practice

In any TV Studio, there is a strict protocol in which any one who is in the studio must follow;

- There must be no food or drink inside the studio, as these could be spilt and could cause damage to equipment (cameras, microphones etc) and this could in turn cause risk of electrocution, tripping(over the drinks bottles) etc.

- Only people who really need to be in the studio, should be in the studio, as there is a limited amount of room in the studio and it is more important to have the people who actually need in the studio, in the studio, rather than having extra bodies.

- You are not allowed to run in the studio, as the cameras all have long cables which hang onto the floor, and anyone running could trip over and hurt themselves.

- You cannot mess around on the headsets(cans), and must only talk if it is needed. (As mentioned in the previous blog about talk-backs and their protocol.)
