In this report I will be writing about the different techniques of
single and multiple camera production. I will be defining the terms of each
camera format also explaining the advantages.
Single Camera
Comedy shows are filmed with a single camera, in the way more typically used for drama series and feature films. This method is generally more time-consuming, however the technique allows for a greater range of camera angle, shot sizes and movement, and shooting locations. A single camera format is where one camera is used for all the shots on a TV, or film set, while moving around. The director may choose to pan between subjects, and stop the camera to film from a new angle. The camera can rotate horizontally, from right to left or left to right but a pan movement could be vertical, or at any particular angle that has been shot.A scene can be shot from two different angles without needing to move the camera. The script can also be filmed out of sequence. All the scenes in one location can be filmed on the same day and another location on another day, all shots requiring specific production workers should be shot at the same time as well. All shots requiring specialized production equipment, such as special cameras, lenses, microphones and generators are also shot at the same time.The clips are finally put back in order by an editor, who puts it back into sequence.

Multiple camera formats are when as many as five cameras are used simultaneously to catch the same action, and the shots that are required and selected are then put together during the editing process. Multi camera techniques are used when programmes are broadcasted live, but the multi camera technique is also used when the programme wants to look like it's live.The advantage is that multi camera allows all angles to be covered. The filming is one take only and it costs cheaper. It involves many cameras that are connected to a central studio and is broadcasted through cable or the airwaves. Multiple camera formats are used in talk shows, live sport events such as football and rugby, etc this is because the director then has a choice of which angle to use and when during the editing process. Within a sporting event a whole game can be recorded using multi camera techniques.
