Full-Screen Graphic

What is it?

A full-screen graphic is a designed board that replaces the picture entirely: the poll results, the statistics table, the quote in large type, the map, the price comparison, the bracket. Where overlays decorate the video, the full-screen graphic is the video for its duration — the broadcast switching from showing people to showing information.

Practical example

Election night is the form's showcase: anchors throw to full-screen boards — the map coloring in, the seat counts, the swing charts — because the data is the story and faces would only obstruct it. Sports does it constantly (the league table, the head-to-head stats board); business shows flash the earnings chart. The live-creator version arrived with interactive widgets: the poll launched mid-show cuts to a full-screen results board filling in live, the Q&A leaderboard, the donation-goal thermometer celebrated full-frame at milestones — moments where the audience's own input becomes the picture.

Key things to know (non-technical)

• The decision rule: go full-screen when the information needs the whole frame to be legible — dense data crammed into a corner overlay serves nobody; a face shrunk beside a chart often serves neither.
• It's a scene in switching terms: cutting to the board and back is directed like any camera change (often with the host's voice continuing over it — a live L-cut).
• Design for glance speed: broadcast boards are ruthlessly simplified versus print — three numbers big beat ten numbers small, because the audience gets seconds, not minutes.
• The board + voice-over combination is one of television's foundational textures: information on screen, meaning from the narration.
