[골닷컴, 마드리드] Reporter Bashion = Real Madrid and Barcelona played’El Clasico’ in the 2020/21 season at Estadio Alfredo di Stefano on the 10th (local time). The match ended with Real Madrid’s 2-1 win, with Benzema, Kroos and Mingesa scoring goals. As a result, Real Madrid took the lead in El Classico’s total record (98 wins 52 draws 96), and they all won El Classico this season and climbed to the top of the league.

However, due to Corona 19, La Liga has maintained an unattended game, and due to this,’El Classico’ this season was also played without spectators.
La Liga was faced with a new situation this season and took measures accordingly. New cameras and audio-visual technologies were introduced to prevent fans who watch the game through broadcasts from feeling’the stadium is empty’. To introduce this more closely, La Liga invited reporters to the’Behind the Scenes of El Clasico’ held at Alfredo di Stefano on the same day.

La Liga’s biggest change in this season’s transition to non-audience is the introduction of an image of the audience during the broadcast. Each club’s home game filled the audience with a colored image that symbolizes the team, and instead of a quiet stadium, the cheers and cheers of the home fans spread. This is to prevent fans’ gaze from staying in an empty space so that they can focus more on the game.
All La Liga clubs have their own fans’ shouts and applause. Throughout the game, the cheering sounds of the fans fluctuate, but they are not all the same. According to the’MediaPro’ team responsible for this technology, there are about 10 voice files per team, and different reaction voices are transmitted depending on the situation.
Since the same sound does not come out every time, the sense of presence can be enhanced. The’Media Pro’ team said, “There are 4 cheers according to the goal scene, and 12 files for different applause sounds. The reactions of the home team and the away team are used differently. When the home team’s goal comes out, the shout of the away team’s goal is much smaller and more blurry than the shout. The sound of applause for the substitution of players and the sound of applause in a situation of encouragement and the sound of the end of the game are all different.”
In addition to the broadcasting technology, the camera that determines the broadcasting level also embodies a variety of types, angles, and new methods, alleviating the regrets of a non-audience game. In particular,’FANCAM’, which was newly introduced this season, is a camera used for filming and adds a dramatic effect during the game.
The fancam, located in the corner of the stadium, changes the system when a dramatic moment occurs while filming the content of the game from the side. It focuses on the player rather than the game itself and shows a cinematic direction. It is mainly used for ceremonies after the game, and the back door is that the players also love the image taken with the camera. In this’El Clasico’, Benzema’s opening goal ceremony was also captured and transmitted with this camera.

Sergio Sanchez, who is in charge of La Liga TV production, said, “When you export a scene taken with a special camera in the middle of a game, the scene can give a more dramatic look. At the same time, the camera voice is also recorded close by, so it feels more realistic to the fans watching the broadcast,” explained Fancam.
In addition to this, La Liga is delivering games more effectively with 30 cameras, such as shooting using drones instead of helicopters, polycams and graphic technology. Thanks to this, even though it is a game without spectators, you can feel the heat of the fans through the broadcast. How about enjoying the game from a different perspective while looking for these parts in the next La Liga game?
