When they broadcast "live" TV like from a sports vent I wonder if the time code generated by the camera is preserved? But then even if it were the time might have been set manually to match the display on the camera operator's cell phone.
Depends on how the "live" feed is derived. If it's an analog signal, there's no "time setting" involved. If it's B-roll from a GoPro, then yes, it's based on the camera person's watch.
Same for scenes with clacks in the background. Do you trust them to be on-time? They might even have ben intentionally set wrong to hide the transmit delay.
Unlikely that they'd fool with clocks in the background. Why would they care (except if they're faking the 1969 moon landing or something.. then they've got enough budget for someone to make sure the clocks in the fake mission control read correctly).
They DO have people to set the clocks in filming for subsequent editing: it's just part of "continuity" like making sure cigarettes are the right length, the ice in the glasses has melted the right amount, etc.
