BAND OF THE YEAR

TV6 was the only station to go live to the mas camp of Band of the Year winner Brian McFarlane on Wednesday.
Charlene Stuart's interview with Mr McFarlane was almost perfect. She gave an intro and some perspective on the band's presentation before she got into the interview.
But her director punched her up while she was giving some last minute instructions on when to pop the champagne.
So where was her producer to give her a proper cue??

And who directed the cameraman to pan to the spectators and move away from the action that was centred on Mr McFarlane popping the cork at the end of the interview??
The better thing to do would have been to zoom out as wide as possible and include everyone in the shot.
