Despite it being called Blue Screen, am I right in thinking you can use it with any colour as long as it is pure (e.g. you can use red)

or in fact the new fancy brown looking ones with crystals in.

Ah ha! CSO:- Another BBC term! Everyone else calls it chroma-key or bluescreen.

Yes, that's correct, as long as lighting is equal, although blue and green are the best colours bacause they are not found in skin tones...

Hmmmnnn - technically the BREAKBUMPER is the ITV1 logo at the start and the end of the break - these are still called that at ITV.
The OPTICAL was the blocks that used to flash between the ads themselves (which are still in use on ITV2 and ITV3).

Just to make it more confusing - breakbumpers on ITV are referred to as "opticals". Don't ask me why... the term "breakbumper" makes more sense...!

'End-of-Part' slides/captions are also (perhaps incorrectly) referred to as break-bumpers which is confusing. Therefore a film would have a break-bumper (with the title on) followed by a generic network/channel break-bumper. What is the correct name for 'end-of-part' and 'beginning-of-part' captions/graphics - and does this differ depending on whether or not these are burnt onto the tape?

Both into and out of the programme - End of Part slides are EOP's.
As far as I know they are never referred to as breakbumpers (as these are mentioned above).
The name doesn't change - obviously the way they are scheduled does.

"Slides" being another anacronism, as actual physical slides have not been in common use since the late 1980s.
I'm pretty sure ITV *did* use to call break bumpers and flashes "opticals" from when they were running adbreaks on film. TTTV were still using the word internally in the early 90s, and they did not use break flashes.

Hi, DialUpBorg,
' DOG' stands for: digital on-screen graphic and 'CGI' stands for: computer generated imagery. I was taught about CGI in media studies; we did quite a bit of work on it.
I hope I am correct, at least this is what I have been lead to believe.
PS: Thank you for all of your replies, they have been very enjoyable to read and have been of an informational value to me.
