To OP: if you object to the word 'filmed' would you care to suggest a
more suitable word that complies with the requrements of plain English.


why not use the word "shot" as used in the firm industry?

I can just imagine security officers overhearing a cameraman "shooting
the royal family on the balcony".

I actually use the term 'recorded' but if people want say filmed it
doesn't bother me, I know what they mean.

Ah, but... the royal wedding will be "filmed", recorded, as well as
broadcast live. :-)

Recorded. Then it doesn't matter what format it goes to.

'Filmed' by nature means recorded, not live. Unless you want to go back to
a weird Baird system.

Jchannon: Will the royal wedding be in HD or just upscaled to BBC One HD?

[Peter Hunt, Diplomatic and Royal Correspondent replies]

It won't, as you suggest, be filmed in HD.== filmed? Jchannon never suggested it would be filmed.
Since when (Baird?) has live television been
filmed for transmission?

The broadcasters, particularly SKY News, had wanted to. So the BBC did not paricularly want to do HD?

However, the idea was rejected by the Palace, particularly
because the cameras required would be too large. HD video cameras are too large are they?


Why does the BBC pay idiots to spout such garbage?

Reminds me of the time that director Tony Scott was visiting LA to work
on a co-production.

Immigration at LA airport asked him the usual 'reason for visit?'

'I'm here to shoot a pilot' - and he was promptly arrested...

But surely 'recorded' would apply to the recording equipment which
will not be located where the 'filming' is taking place?
