Museum of moving image.

While on my visit and tour of the museum of moving image I saw many different fascinating exhibits like the special effects, sound effects, sound recording, and one that showed the control room of a live tv show. This exhibit was most fascinating to me because I never really got to see how it was really done before. The exhibit showed a wall full of screens which all were showing images from a different camera at a New York mets baseball game. As the game would go on there was a director who would call out a number or name for the camera image that he wanted to be broadcasted to the public. While watching a game the cuts seem to be seamless and get to each player or area in time to see the action take place, and to see how high paced it is to get the right images out in such a seamless way was very impressive to me. As I watched for while I could pick up on the standard pattern of shots for the action in the game. You would see a shot from behind the pitcher towards the batter for the pitches, or a close up of a batter in between pitches. The repetition of the shots were almost a template of how the game should be showed. This was interesting to me because now I see how it is like the continuity system of shooting and editing which you can find the same kinds of patterns in the repetition of shots that you find when watching a live broadcasted baseball game.
