Talk-back's there use and protocal

Talk-backs are used by the on floor crew and the director and floor manager, there should be no messing about on these as it can cause confusion or loss in communication.

The talk backs should only be used by the camera crew if they have a problem or really need to communicate with the director.

The Dvd Op has to use the talk back to tell the director when the dvd is ready for him to cut to whenever her wants to, and the sound desk only needs to use it at the start when they tell the director that the sound is ready.

The Floor manager and the director are the main people to use the talkbacks to communicate between floor and the vision control room. The director will tell the floor manager how he wants the talent to sit and what he wants them to do. So any messing about on the talkbacks could mean that the floor manager misses something that the director says and then it wouldnt get done so would cause problems.
