OTS is an abbreviation for which visual element?

• A. Over the Shoulder Graphic
• B. On The Set
• C. Open The Screen
• D. Over the Screen

Answer: (A)

In broadcast graphics, OTS stands for an Over the Shoulder graphic. This on-screen element sits over the shoulder of the person who is speaking, typically labeling the speaker or showing a caption while the person remains visible in the shot. It’s a common way to provide identification or context without blocking the main action, and it’s specifically tied to the shoulder area of the frame.

The other options don’t correspond to a standard broadcast term for a graphic. “On The Set” isn’t a recognized graphic name, while “Open The Screen” and “Over the Screen” aren’t used to describe this visual asset.
