New camera guidelines for female athletics coverage
from bbc.co.uk/sport/athletics/articles/cvgj55npzdzo
Quote:
... avoiding low camera angles underneath athletes in events such as the high jump or pole vault, which have a high chance of generating compromising images.
...
Lingering shots on bodies, low-angle cameras that capture revealing views, and excessive slow-motion replays that serve no technical or storytelling purpose
...
pole vaulter says she has been sent abuse on social media and has seen inappropriate videos of herself online because of revealing camera angles during live coverage of her competitions.
...
"On too many occasions cameras are zoomed in, showing super slow-motion action replays of athletes in undignified positions."
---
certain cameras not only cause discomfort during events but can have "serious long-term effects on athlete's mental health."
