ABSTRACT

In addition to talent, graphics and sets are two major pictorial elements in television production. Graphics include lettering and artwork, normally displayed on screen to supplement the images captured on camera. A news anchor’s name, for example, can be shown on a graphic with simple lettering. More-advanced graphics might include the map of a war zone, a chart showing how tax money is spent, or even a motion graphic of a working piston engine or blood flowing through arteries.
