Talk backs and their use

the talk backs are used so the director can talk to the camera operators and DVD operator.

the camera operator uses them to talk the director in case they are having problems with there equipment or in case they have an idea for different shots they want to use.

the DVD operator uses the talk backs too tell the director when the DVD is ready to be cued into the show.

the talk backs should not be used much unless it is urgent because the director needs to be heard by the crew at all times to be able to cut to shots etc, the DVD operator should wait for the director to stop talking before he says DVD ready so the director doesn't have people talking over, the camera operators should only talk on there talk backs when the director is quiet so they do not talk over the director.
