Which item is not typically included in a run of show?

• A. Segment order and timing
• B. Talent entry cues
• C. Camera angles
• D. Transition timings

Answer: (C)

The run of show focuses on the sequence and timing of the program and the cues that keep everything moving smoothly. Its main job is to lay out when each segment happens, what the talent does, and when to switch to graphics, music, or a new segment, plus the exact timings for transitions. Camera angles, by contrast, are about how the scene is shot—framing, lens choice, and specific camera movements—which are typically handled by the director and camera crew with a separate shot list or blocking sheet. Including camera angles in the run of show would make that document less flexible and more prescriptive, since angle decisions can change based on performance and on-the-fly direction. So, camera angles are not typically included in a run of show.
