Which element is typically included in on-screen graphics packages?

• A. Lower thirds
• B. Printed posters
• C. Microphones
• D. Floor signage

Answer: (A)

On-screen graphics packages are digital overlays used during broadcasts to convey information without interrupting the action. The most common element included is the lower third—the text bar that runs along the bottom portion of the screen to show names, titles, teams, scores, or other quick details. This type of graphic is built into the production’s template and branding, so viewers can instantly understand who is speaking or what’s being shown, all while keeping the visual look consistent.

The other items aren’t part of the on-screen graphic package: printed posters are physical materials used on the set or in promotion; microphones are audio devices; floor signage is physical set decoration. These serve different functions and aren’t overlays that appear on the video feed.
