When I was at the mass last week, you could see all the cameras around the cathedral shooting for the TV broadcast. They have a variety of views, at least three cameras, maybe more? This long shot is clearly from the back of the cathedral.
Seeing the close-ups of the readers and the choir was actually very nice. I didn't realize that the choir was full of boy sopranos when I saw them in person, and I really had a decent seat, a quarter of the way from the front!
The main readers were the same as from the last mass, and they are all picked for their great voices. In the TV version, there was also a commentator! So whenever there was no talking or singing, she was narrating. I think most of it was descriptions and explanations of the actions happening, including naming the pieces read or sung and their writers, and occasionally actual commenting, for example, praising one of the readers for giving a stirring rendition of one of Maria's speeches.
I would have been a little lost without the program booklet I picked up at the first mass last week. The booklet is beautifully produced, and it also provided the channel and time info for me!
Hello.
ReplyDeleteYou have seen well the three cameras were connected to a very old white van outside the cathedral.
I was the director of all direct and Telenova for what we have achieved with few resources is the successful result of my staff and commentator Anna Maria Braccini. I hope it was to your liking.
