It's not a good look when the OAPs leave when the camera is still focused on them. They run off as if they have to catch a bus. The camera should keep them out of view. Show the host or the product. I realize it's no big deal but it is comical to me.

@Pixie12,

What is an OAP?

In Britian OAP stands for Old Age Pensioner, so I was wondering why they'd be running from cameras and where!  Woman Surprised

Re: OAPs anxious to leave

[ Edited ]

Seeing the OAP walk of the set is just subpar, amateurish direction and camerawork.

 

It's definitely not the fault of the OAP.  They know they need to depart.

 

It looks very unprofessional,  but could be avoided in a variety of ways:  closeup of the host, closeup of the product display, direct the OAP to remain on set and smile until fade out..........

@THEY CallMe Mr Wilkes 

 

Since you apparently know what an 'OAP' is, care to enlighten the rest of us commoners?

I see nothing wrong with it.  We know they have to leave.
