TRANSCRIPT
The most important concept to understand
is that TV screens and computer screens are
very different. TV sets have lower resolution,
less color tolerance and they mask off part of
the screen where you may have placed
important information. Unless you build your
slide show understanding these concepts your
slides may not be readable to TV viewers.
THE BAD NEWS
FOR TELEVISION & VIDEOPowerPoint
THREE SIMPLE RULES
1. Avoid fine patterns and small text
2. Avoid brilliant whites and pure colors
3. Stay within the “TV SAFE ZONE”
TV HAS LESS RESOLUTION THAN A COMPUTER SCREEN
FIRST RULE
So...Don’t use small text like this. It looks great on the computer but will not be readable on TV.
The smallest text size should allow only 50 characters per line
Don’t use serif fonts like this TIMES NEW ROMAN
Use sans serif fonts like this ARIAL OR HELVETICA
Don’t use backgrounds that have fine patterns like this
Use plain, gradient or soft pattern backgrounds like this
TV CANNOT HANDLE PURE, BRIGHT COLORS
SECOND RULE
So...Don’t use pure, bright colors for text
Also..Don’t use pure white
Use an off white
Use subdued colors
STAY AWAY FROM THE EDGES OF YOUR SLIDE
THIRD RULE
On your computer your slide looks like this...
But on TV your slide looks like this...
STAY AWAY FROM THE EDGES OF YOUR SLIDE
THIRD RULE
TV sets may look like computer displays
but they use very different technology. One of
the principle differences is that computer
displays show you everything on your screen
but TV sets do not. Every TV screen “masks”
the edges of the screen so that they cannot be
seen by the TV viewer. This helps “hide”
special data that goes along with the TV signal
when it is broadcast and would otherwise be
distracting to the viewer.
This line would not be seen by TV viewers because it is to close to the edge of the slide
STAY AWAY FROM THE EDGES OF YOUR SLIDE
THIRD RULE
The line around this slide represents the
TV SAFE ZONE
Build all your important information to fit
within this zone and the TV viewers will be
able to read all your text and see all your
pictures.
