After having trouble screen capturing video from the Friday night football games, the video portion will be pushed back to next week. This week's blog will focus on the differences between a video broadcast, for a high school football game, and a radio broadcast.
When it comes to broadcasting the main goal is to get the information about the game to the viewers/listeners at home. Most if not all of the viewers/listeners are fans/alumni/family that live out of state. So to accomodate them, broadcasters commentate both on radio and online in video.
Radio broadcasts are beneficially to listeners on the road, and away from home. Commentators are normally alumni of the teams playing or long time announcers that have been around for many years. With the game being broadcast on radio you get the same environment as a video broadcast just without the visual elements. For a radio broadcast it also costs less to broadcast a game than it would for a video broadcast.
Video broadcasts are able to do what radio cannot, show the plays that weren't able to be seen before. These broadcasts are shown online for any viewer to tune in to. Commercials come on at normal times that they would in a football game, during the breaks in the action. The visual you get from the games online also shows viewers from home, or out of state how their team looks from the last they have seen them. Video broadcasts may cost more, but normally more viewers tune in to make up for the cost.
The next blog will be focused on breaking down video from high school football games, I promise. There will be explanations of certain shot angles, what correct shots are, and what not to do while videoing.
