    ZWEITES DEUTSCHES FERNSEHEN 24.06.2016 Anstalt des öffentlichen Rechts DER INTENDANT T Ä T I G K E I T S B E R I C H T des Intendanten in der 17. Sitzung der XIV. Amtsperiode des Fernsehrates am 08. Juli 2016 Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren, der Ball rollt bei der Fußball-EM in Frankreich, und die Resonanz ist bis jetzt selbst für die Quotenverwöhnteren unter uns beeindruckend. Bis einschließlich 16.06.16 sahen durchschnittlich 11,40 Mio. Zuschauer die Live-Spiele im ZDF. Das entspricht einem Marktanteil von 47 %. Das von uns übertragene Spiel Deutschland gegen Polen am 16. Juni sahen im Schnitt fast drei Viertel aller Fernsehzuschauer. Der neue Austragungsmodus der EM mit erstmalig 24 Mannschaften führt bei unserem Publikum also bislang nicht zu einer Übersättigung – im Gegenteil. Das freut uns auch deshalb, weil wir im Umfeld dieses Events Zuschauerschichten erreichen, die uns sonst eher meiden. Das gilt für das „heute-journal“ in den Halbzeitpausen ebenso wie für hochwertige Dokumentationen und andere Informations- Angebote im Anschluss an die Übertragungen, auch und gerade solche ohne Fußball- Bezug. Die Fußball-EM ist nicht nur aus sportlicher Sicht spannend, sie bietet auch Anlass, den Blick auf die Situation des Gastgeberlandes nach den Terrorangriffen von Paris zu lenken. Und sie ist auch selbst Gegenstand unserer aktuellen Berichterstattung geworden, spätestens mit den Ausschreitungen sogenannter Fußballfans aus verschiedenen Ländern. Hier zeigt sich, wie wichtig bei aller Qualität des von der UEFA angebotenen Bildmaterials der Blick mit den eigenen Kameras auch in die Stadien und die Souveränität über das verbreitete Sendesignal sind.

  • Labor Relations, 16Mm Film and Euston Films
    Scope: An Online Journal of Film and Television Studies Issue 26 February 2014 Labor Relations, 16mm Film and Euston Films Max Sexton, Birkbeck College, University of London Film as a technology has been used, adapted and implemented in particular ways within television. This article provides examples of this process along with its complexities and demonstrates how a system of regulated labor on British television during the 1970s shaped the aesthetic form that 16mm film was used to develop. The questions of how far the production process was guided by institutionalized conventions, however, is one that the article seeks to answer in its analysis of the function and form of the filmed television series produced by Euston Films, a subsidiary of Thames Television. Charles Barr (1996) has discussed the legacy of live television that seeks to develop analyses of the developing formal systems of early television. For example, the telerecordings of most of the Quatermass serials were only “television films” because they were recorded on film, but were not constructed or edited as film, although they may have used some film inserts. According to Barr, television drama may have been shot on film, but it was different from film. It was only later in the 1960s and 1970s that shooting on film meant that the studio drama was replaced by shooting on location on 16mm. Barr notes that in Britain, unlike in the US, if a growing proportion of drama was shot on film, dramas were still referred to as “plays.” Consequently, the TV plays-on-film were distinct from “films.” However, as this article demonstrates, the development of the 16mm film from the 1970s complicates some of the notions that television drama was either live or continued to be planned, shot and edited as a live play.
