Keynote
A keynote is the main address at a conference or corporate event, given to the entire audience. It is the most filmed and most widely shared moment, which is why every second of it is timed.

The constraint specific to this format is timing. An entrance, a visual effect or the appearance of an attraction must fit in to the second, within a technical running order approved in the control room with sound and lighting.
A rehearsal the day before or that same morning is not a luxury: it is what separates a successful effect from an incident visible to the whole room and to the video recording.
