FIFA World Cup™ 2010 in Progress and Three Exhibitions Upcoming

The Production Plan takes into account a number of parameters including (but not limited to):
• The FIFA World Cup™ attracts a wider TV audience than other televised football events. The audience includes viewers who know less about the technical aspects of the game and are more interested in the size, scope and human interest angles of the event.
• Increasingly the FIFA World Cup™ is seen by more than just the traditional TV audience, as internet and mobile outlets become more and more prevalent for highlights, goal alerts and even full match streaming.
• TV coverage of football matches varies widely around the world. Many countries, for example, still use five-camera coverage. Diverse production styles continue to co-exist between regions, and even within regions.
• Recognising that more and more Media Rights Licensees (MRLs) are broadcasting in High Definition and Standard Definition (SD) widescreen while respecting that much of the global audience is still watching in analogue 4/3.
• Production style and coverage must remain uniform and impartial, with no distinction made between better-known and lesser-known teams.
• The challenges facing the broadcast community in their unilateral planning, both on site and at home, and how the Production Plan can best support them.
• The expectations of ‘new media’ and in particular mobile content.
• Recognising the expectations from the broadcast community in regards to specific special cameras – aerial-, cable- and ultra-motion-systems were tested at various events prior to the World Cup.
