Spelling and national Bee 2010 - Anamika Veeramani wins among the winners; the effects of television Bee - Fourteen-year-old Anamika Veeramani has won the National Scripps Spelling Bee in 2010, but there are a lot of winners at Independence Hall in the Grand Hyatt Hotel in Washington, DC on Friday night - In fact, every competitor in the national bee, who won at least one or two other bee before qualifying for the Washington, DC. ABC broadcast the finals competition on the air television network, but probably did not catch all the quality of the star in the room. Once upon a pop culture there to see what looks like really is Bee when the cameras rolling.
The first thing one notes a few minutes of air time is that the arena is not one you would expect to see on television. Few people in their seats in Independence Hall in the Grand Hyatt Hotel.The crew and officials busy talking, wandering, and work. Granting judges. Spellers and young people, and some of them sporting blue ribbons, which is obtained on each other to fill the trivial questions that have been established in each goalkeeper Ryan Bee "," books published by Scripps to help them get to know each other.
And developed many obvious that the purpose of asking all the 272 other spellers answers to trivia questions individual (and questions such as "[image above Neto, Semifinalist Speller # 155] take lessons in dance, both benefit from and ___."). Many also ask the signatures of judges and staff Scripps, who are in the picture in the back of the bee keeper. Theater and the public will settle by 08:00 ET broadcast? Amazingly, they do.
Seven former spelling champion in attendance, we are told by the champion in 1981, P. Paige Kimble, who wears a headset, and will cue us when we need to pay tribute to the TV. She introduces us to the former champions, and many of them (except the winner of last year 2009), which was held this year's bee. It warns us that the coverage will try our patience at times, that the bee will start and stop according to the Breaks, ABC News, business, and sometimes in some cases is misplaced.
Audience in the ballroom does not hear most of what announcer Chris Harrison (Bachelor) and the interview Erin Andrews (of ESPN The Dancing with the Stars) says to the camera. In some cases, but they, and they respond with laughter. Even if I was there in person, and a strange silence, and you feel as if I was watching a combination of the event live, and appear on television with the sound off.
Surprisingly, and Spellers walk to the microphone cue, not announced by name or number.There is a large screen and clear to the public perception of the name of the Speller and information. If Speller make mistakes, and there is the collective groans of sympathy in the audience. It's the finals so far, only to miss a single word in the final stage. The public does not appear correct spelling of the word only after Speller got either correct or incorrect; limited run of words and as a means to clarify them Spellers last appears on the big screen in the room.
In many cases, only when the tension for the next growing Speller, stimuli ABC for a commercial or a piece to run the feature. Most people watch a bee in the house do not get the sense that aired live on is to control the timing of the bee, but you.
During breaks, and leave nearly all their seats and spellers to rejoin their families to provide water and support the other side of the stage. And cued and Spellers and the public to return to their seats a few seconds before the show comes back. In one case of Speller in the first row, which barely back in time.
While waiting for the spellers, a man squats down and shoot the camera, even in their faces as they sit in their seats. He pans around, and shoots underneath while they talk through some periods of rest. Spellers and appear to be aware of, but not particularly bothered by the cameras, but when it seems that the focus on one of them individually.
One of the reasons that make spellers who competed in the National Spelling Bee may perform better may not be only because of the experience of competitive pressures. Clear, and seeing events before they occur, and how to broadcast live during Speller gives an advantage. Nerves, one sees seems every bit as connected broadcast live because it is the words they will have to address next. In fact, the observer gets the impression that the spellers are more nervous about the cameras of words, where they had studied.
Nerves, however, do not get a room full of winners down. Children up to the challenge and performance. More importantly, the center of lights, camera, action, they appear to realize that the important thing is what Ms. Veeranami his mother for the winner, "he told reporters after the Bee:" what you get from the experience is more important than results.
