ABSTRACT
This chapter looks at few major kinds of programming formats that are common to remote production and see how the demands of location work affect the director's and producer's choices. The director/ producer have to present that locale and the special qualities of that place to the audience as part of the event itself. The camera positions for line sports, circle sports, or form sports are determined by the needs of the sport, the availability of the hardware, and the locations available to the production company. It requires a great deal of preproduction and knowledge of the games conventions. Most major remote performance events and many studio productions use jib arms and cranes. They make it possible to do graceful and exciting on-air moves. The arm of the Technocrane is a series of hollow square steel beams nested inside one another. They are capable of being extended and retracted from a remote position.
