I prefer just having a big number count down and drawing up a circle in the background. Some people like doing it a little more fancy: With the exception of a countdown clock (in seconds) and generally speaking a circle in the background, you can include whatever the broadcast station / production company / post house asks of you, there is no set of rules to what it needs or can not contain.Ī good example of info would be something like this: The few seconds of black are a failsafe from back in the day, in case the tech spliced at the incorrect frame.Ī black flash isn’t as bad as flashing a slate to the audience. Generally, a 10-second slate will count down from 59:59:50:00 to 59:59:57:00 (I work in a PAL environment, 25fps, non-drop), then have 3 seconds of black, then the first frame of video at 00:00:00:00 exactly.
It can be just a text block on a black background with a big number counting down the seconds.
A slate usually includes some credits, and some technical specs.
