Frequently Asked Questions:
How does my teleprompter operator load my script?
The teleprompter script has to be loaded into the computer. You will give your typed script in advance in electronic form to your teleprompter operator, usually on a flash drive. The format must be compatible with the teleprompter device and software. Usually Rich Text Format (.rtf) , Text (.txt) or Microsoft Word format (.doc) works.
This gives the production company time to ensure compatibility and ensure the script flows conversationally making it easier for the talent to read. Your teleprompter operator will load your script into his computer for an easy setup.
One thing to keep in mind is not to use bullet points, indentations, and multiple colors, unless that’s the way you want them to appear that way in the prompter.
Why should I use a teleprompter during a video shoot?
Producing during on location presents all sorts of challenges. One challenge that can be easily avoided is that of multiple retakes because your talent is trying to remember his or her script while trying to convey naturally and convincingly the message. This is where the advantages of a teleprompter come in.
The placement of the teleprompter allows your talent to make eye contact with the audience by looking directly at the camera while conveying his message – which an important key in effective communication.
One thing to remember when considering a teleprompter is to provide your typed script on a flash drive that will be compatible to the teleprompter device and software, which is usually MS Word, RTF or TXT format. Allocate enough time to make revisions to the script. Revisions are commonly made during on most shoots.
Will having a teleprompter help me to deliver my message or speech?
Absolutely! If you are speaking the placement of the teleprompter allows your talent to make eye contact with the audience by looking directly at the camera while conveying your message – an important key in effective communication.
If you are speaking to a live audience, presidential teleprompters gives the audience an illusion that you are speaking directly to them while you are reading from the teleprompter.
What is a teleprompter?
A teleprompter is a device that electronically reflects words on a two-way mirror placed in front of the camera’s lens. As the script is read, a teleprompter operator controls the flow of the words. Simply put, a teleprompter is an electronic cue card that allows you to read while maintaining eye contact with your audience. The teleprompter operator controls the pace of the words that appear on the teleprompter. A good teleprompter operator will control operate the prompter based on the speed of your reading, and will speed up when you do so, and will slow down, when you slow down.
