Do you need Teleprompter & Autocue hire in London UK?
A good presentation requires a lot of practice. There are many skills that are required in order to move your audience. Those skills are honed by continuously practicing and improving your techniques of delivering the message across.
Preparing for a successful presentation can be a big hassle. Right off the top, a presenter has to memorize all the lines, or all the content that is going to be delivered to the audience. That can be quite difficult if the content is long, or if the presentation is happening live.
A quick and easy workaround to this obstacle is using an autocue. So why not look into affordable teleprompter & autocue hire London UK? Using an autocue or teleprompter can make the job of the presenter a lot easier. Instead of memorising all the lines, having the autocue hire London UK allows the presenter to read from the display, while still giving the impression that you are not referring to any external help. Autocue hire (also known as teleprompter hire London UK) is what has allowed newscasters to look at the camera continuously while presenting the news.
What is an Autocue hire and is it the same as teleprompter hire?
An Autocue is simply a tradename for a teleprompter.
The teleprompter is fixed to the tripods where the camera is also attached. It is an angled one way mirror that reflects a mirrored version of the content (text) such that a subject that stands in front of the camera( simultaneously the teleprompter), can also see the text while staring right down the camera lens. It creates the impression that the presenter knows very well what they’re talking about without referring to any notes.
The teleprompter is very useful for live TV events, shows, and also other applications such as corporate videos.
How does an Autocue work?
An Autocue or a teleprompter comes with a reflective screen. As discussed before, the one way mirror is typically placed in front of the video camera lens, as well as a monitor that is mounted directly underneath the screen, which displays the script.
The screen is made of reflective glass that is completely see-through on one side and reflective on the other. This allows the camera to shoot through without having a visual effect on the video. Meanwhile, the other side of the screen is reflective such that anything displayed on the monitor (teleprompter) will be reflected onto the screen.
However, we are all familiar that anything we see in a mirror is flipped in the horizontal direction. This means that the image on the monitor will also appear backwards on the screen. Thus, the script must be reversed on the monitor, so when the reflection takes place the presenter will be able to read it easily.
Since there are some technicals aspects to using a teleprompter or an autocue, major productions or broadcasts, have a designated crew member/s, who adjust the format, scrolling speed, and the direction of the text as it appears on the teleprompter screen and ensures a comfortable pace, such that the presenter will be able to seamlessly reda the script. The operator follows the presenter’s speed with the teleprompter instead of forcing them to speak at a speed that they’re not comfortable with. Thus, having a good Autocue operator is key. They should have a wide array of experience with all types of production from tense live TV productions, to seminars, or public speakers and corporate videos. The Autocue operator works closely with the director and on screen talent. The autocue operator ensures that they get the most out of the subject’s performance.
In absence of a teleprompter/autocue operator, the presenter can use a wireless controller or a foot pedal to control the scrolling speed.
