1st offWhat do we think a single camera
production is?
![Page 6: Single Camera filming: an Introduction to genre, formats and uses](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033109/58a45d8b1a28abb8288b4985/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
There are 2 different types of video production technique we can use when making a film…
Multi-camera
![Page 7: Single Camera filming: an Introduction to genre, formats and uses](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033109/58a45d8b1a28abb8288b4985/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
There are 2 different types of video production technique we can use when making a film…
Single camera
![Page 8: Single Camera filming: an Introduction to genre, formats and uses](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033109/58a45d8b1a28abb8288b4985/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Multi-cameraFilms the action with several cameras, all at the same time.
![Page 9: Single Camera filming: an Introduction to genre, formats and uses](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033109/58a45d8b1a28abb8288b4985/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Multi-cameraIs often filmed in a TV studio
![Page 10: Single Camera filming: an Introduction to genre, formats and uses](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033109/58a45d8b1a28abb8288b4985/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Multi-cameraThis footage is then edited live, in
real time, by the vision mixer.
![Page 11: Single Camera filming: an Introduction to genre, formats and uses](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033109/58a45d8b1a28abb8288b4985/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Lighting is above the studio floor and controlled remotely
![Page 12: Single Camera filming: an Introduction to genre, formats and uses](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033109/58a45d8b1a28abb8288b4985/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
What does each camera need, in order to work?
![Page 13: Single Camera filming: an Introduction to genre, formats and uses](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033109/58a45d8b1a28abb8288b4985/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Single cameraFilms the action with just one
camera.
![Page 14: Single Camera filming: an Introduction to genre, formats and uses](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033109/58a45d8b1a28abb8288b4985/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Which is quicker…Filming the action with just one
camera or with several cameras at the same time?
![Page 15: Single Camera filming: an Introduction to genre, formats and uses](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033109/58a45d8b1a28abb8288b4985/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Filming with multiple cameras allows us to capture the action from several angles, in just 1 take.
![Page 16: Single Camera filming: an Introduction to genre, formats and uses](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033109/58a45d8b1a28abb8288b4985/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Its quick as its *mostly* filmed just the once, in REAL-TIME
![Page 17: Single Camera filming: an Introduction to genre, formats and uses](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033109/58a45d8b1a28abb8288b4985/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
And we also get a variety of different shots to use
![Page 18: Single Camera filming: an Introduction to genre, formats and uses](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033109/58a45d8b1a28abb8288b4985/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Filming using a single camera takes more time
As we just have 1 camera we can only film the actors from 1 angle.
If we want to get a different shot, we need to refilm the scene from a different angle.
![Page 19: Single Camera filming: an Introduction to genre, formats and uses](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033109/58a45d8b1a28abb8288b4985/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
As we just have 1 camera we can only film the actors from 1 angle.
If we want to get a different shot, we need to refilm the scene from a
different angle.
![Page 20: Single Camera filming: an Introduction to genre, formats and uses](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033109/58a45d8b1a28abb8288b4985/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Whenever we re-film a scene we have to move & relight….
![Page 21: Single Camera filming: an Introduction to genre, formats and uses](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033109/58a45d8b1a28abb8288b4985/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
After we’ve finished filming what else do we still need to do?
![Page 22: Single Camera filming: an Introduction to genre, formats and uses](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033109/58a45d8b1a28abb8288b4985/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
(much) of the film & TV industry is motivated by 1 thing…
![Page 23: Single Camera filming: an Introduction to genre, formats and uses](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033109/58a45d8b1a28abb8288b4985/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Which sounds cheaper?Multicamera
• Lots of cameras• Lots of camera
operators• TV studio• Gallery
• Full lighting rig
Single-camera
• 1 camera• 1 camera
operator• 3 lights
![Page 24: Single Camera filming: an Introduction to genre, formats and uses](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033109/58a45d8b1a28abb8288b4985/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Filming using single camera techniques is:
• Cheaper• Easier with a small crew• Easier with a small budget • But it takes longer• But crucially…..• Its also more creative and liberating.
![Page 25: Single Camera filming: an Introduction to genre, formats and uses](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033109/58a45d8b1a28abb8288b4985/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
We can create more beautiful looking shots
![Page 26: Single Camera filming: an Introduction to genre, formats and uses](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033109/58a45d8b1a28abb8288b4985/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
We can take time to setup the perfect shot
We don’t have to worry about other camera operators being in shot so we
can get closer to the action.
