Use of talkback and protocol

It is very important to have the use of this equipment in order to communicate any problems which may occur whilst filming live. If there are any problems which do occur, it is very easy to get in contact with the director or floor manager by using the cans, this also means that one is able to stay stationary within their position, keeping time to a minimum. It is important that one informs the director of how much time is needed until the problem is solved in order for the floor to know when to be ready. Talk back is used frequently during production by the director who calls and shapes the shots.
