sharonam (asker) Jun 2, 2010:
It doesn't matter neilmac , thank you all for your time but it's a term used specifically in the film/tv world...no worries, I'll sort it out. Cheers all
neilmac Jun 1, 2010:
Yes, more context please a "valla publictaria" is a billboard or "advertising hoarding"
sharonam (asker) Jun 1, 2010:
I don't think anyone really uynderstood what i was looking for! it is definitely not the billboard but thanks for you time!
Rafael Molina Pulgar Jun 1, 2010:
Hoy en día todo es explotable Los constructores y los municipios reciben rentas por las vallas publicitarias que se exhiben en las cercas de las construcciones. No dudaría que los productores de cine hagan lo mismo.
sharonam (asker) Jun 1, 2010:
No, it's not referring to the billboards that are hung on walls or whatever but the actual physical fences used to section of areas, for filming, for parking etc...but no worries, we can leave it
philgoddard Jun 1, 2010:
I think you may have got hold of the wrong end of the stick - as Rafael says, it means a billboard, nothing to do with screening off actors. But if you won't provide an example of the phrase in context, we probably won't be able to help you.
sharonam (asker) Jun 1, 2010:
In the cinema/tv world, there is always a person in charge of the "vallas publicitarias" which section off an area in the street where the filming is to take place, to reserve the space where the actors do their bit. I'm looking the advertising phrases for the vallas or even better, the technical name of the crew member who is in charge of such
philgoddard Jun 1, 2010:
I don't understand your explanation. Could we have some context please, such as a sentence containing this phrase?

Gracias, Phil.
agree neilmac : verdad, pero la consulta esta mal puesta. Se refiere a barreras de control de aforo, que solo seran "publicitarias" si llevan anuncios...

crowd control barriers

There are lots of firms offering specialist services of this kind to film companies when filming in public areas:

see for instance:

"Crowd Control - It is a fact of life that a crowd will tend to gather wherever a film crew sets up. We secure film areas with crowd control barriers to ensure the safety of both the public and crew. Our operatives are experienced in controlling crowds as the camera turns - politely maintaining noise levels and asking the public the refrain from ruining a potentially expensive shot with flash photography or noise."
