Title of assignment: The features of single camera productions
Introduction
In my blogpost, I will be evualuating a single camera production as well as its uses including examples, I also will be highlighting the disadvantages and advantages of a single camera production,furthermore, providing examples of different formats of media products which use single camera techniques.
Single camera shot
A production using the single-camera setup generally involves just one camera. Each of the various shots and camera angles is taken using the same camera, which is moved and reset to get each shot or new angle. The lighting setup is typically reconfigured for each camera setup.A single camera shot is a method of film making and video and production. Using a single camera takes more time we just have one camera we can only film the actors from one angle if we want to get a different shot we need to re film the scene from a different angle The single-camera setup gives the director more control over each shot, but is more time consuming and more expensive than multiple-camera. The choice of single-camera or multiple-camera setups is made separately from the choice of film or video that is, either setup can be shot in either film or video. e.g feature films such as Django Unchained etc
Using multi-camera allows people to: Cover more area as there are more cameras,
Use different shots for each camera, be able to see reactions and emotions through different angles,
the transition from one person to another will be smoother as they film the whole thing together than shooting one person then re-doing it to film the other person. It will also be quicker to film as they do not have to re-do the same scene over and over to get each piece of footage like they would in single camera.
Disadvantages
It takes longer to set up due to the large amount of equipment. Its more expensive than single camera because there are more than 1 camera you would be using. Directors would only be able to use this in studios as it wouldn't be possible to be used outdoor.

Advantages
The advantages of a single camera production is that scenes don't have to be shot in sequence. The final sequence of scenes is arranged during editing. Single camera shows that directors believe it appears more real to the audience. Therefore it has a greater impact on them making it easier to relate to what is on screen. It's cheaper to film apposed to multiple camera techniques, as only one camera needs to be purchased or hired. As well as easier to set up and move around as there is only one camera.
Disadvantages
Disadvantages
Most disadvantageous aspect of shooting with single-camera production is that you only get one angle at a time. you'll be spending a lot more time in the editing room. Because all of the film will be from one camera, all of your outtakes and mistakes will be have to be sorted out over time, as opposed to a multi-camera approach, where you can edit certain sequences, angles and scenes based on the camera that was shooting. The quality of the camera wouldn't be that clear or realistic.
Multi-Camera
Multi-Camera
In contrast, a multi-camera setup consists of multiple cameras arranged to capture all of the different camera angles of the scene simultaneously, and the set must be lit to accommodate all camera setups concurrently. Multi-camera production generally results in faster but less versatile photography.The single-camera setup gives the director more control over each shot, but is more time consuming and expensive than multiple-camera. Multiple-camera setups shot on video can be switched "live-to-tape" during the performance, while setups shot on film still require that the various camera angles be edited together later. e.g live events such as concerts and sports, as well as studio based shows such as Jeremy Kyle, this morning etc.
Advantages
Multi-Camera production uses more than the one camera, using more than one camera has its advantages. Advantages
