Which term is the image used and can be displayed over track or interview clips instead of video footage?

• A. Sting
• B. Still
• C. Switch
• D. SOT

Answer: (B)

A still image means using a single photograph or graphic on screen while the audio continues. It’s chosen when there isn’t usable video footage to support the segment. The still can sit under a voiceover or play over an interview clip to provide a visual cue without motion, giving viewers something to look at and context for what they’re hearing. This is different from a sting, which is a short musical cue used to punctuate transitions; a switch, which is the control-room action of selecting which video source is live; and a SOT (sound on tape), a short prerecorded sound bite typically shown with video of the speaker. The still is the best fit for displaying an image over track or interview clips instead of video footage.
