Look At The Floor

In the days of live television, floor marks for cameras, booms, actors, props and scenery were everywhere. Even with a few full camera rehearsals, it wasn’t easy to remember what lens and what position you were supposed to be in. The floor marks helped. This shot is from ‘The Armstrong Circle Theater’ which aired on NBC from 1950 till 1957. The weekly dramatic presentations were only a half hour long till 1955, but then the series went to an hour and the chalk budget doubled.
