Studio protocol and practise

These are the rules that should always be followed in the studio, as follows:

Food or drink should never be brought into the studio, as there is a strong risk that they could be spilt on the carpet and the equipment, this can damage the very expensive equipment such as microphones and cameras. This also comes under health and safety as there is a risk of being electrocuted.

No one should ever run in the studio as there are very long cables attached to the cameras that can easily be tripped over which could damage the equipment and you could also hurt yourself.

No one else apart from the people who are involed in the production should be in the studio, because there is not large amount of space in the studio and the crew also need to be very focused on getting a very good recording.

There should never be any messing about on the talkback cans, because the cans are only surpose to be used for communication between the crew and the director. If there is any messing about on the cans the director whould end up hearing to many people at once and this would result in important information from the director not getting to the crew members.
