What does Teleprompter or Autocue look like?
-
- Large monitor used here, rather than a flat panel
-
- Monitor mounted under the camera lens reflecting up on to the glass panel inside the hood
-
- View for the presenter
-
- Mounted on the camera. Note the maroon cloth which wraps around the lens to stop unwanted reflections
-
- Closer side on view
-
- Flat panel monitor used here
-
- White on black is commonly used
-
- The text on the monitor is reversed, so you can read it when it’s reflected back at you.
-
- This is what you see in front of the camera. You can just make out the lens behind the screen. You can also see the glass plate is at a 45 degree angle

Hi there, I was just woundering why presenters use que cards and news reporters use pieces of paper? What is the purpose of this?
Thanks

Hi. Presenters use cards when there’s no autocue or as a back up. Usually it’ll be tightly scripted and they need to keep to it. Reporters are doing just that – they’ll be reporting live from an event or incident. So they’ll be relying on notes, quotes from people and improvising around those notes. Hope that helps
