Single camera techniques

single camera is used only using the one camera to create an advert for a new product. Also a single camera is also used to create a drama program for example scrubs. This program uses a single camera that would capture all the action and therefore the camera is then moved to a different place and used to create a new scene.


The benefits of single camera techniques?
When using a single camera some of the crew is therefore not needed, some of the shots are easier to film with a single camera as the camera is then able to get between the two actors and capture the action.

A single camera production is a production that is then filmed only using the one camera and this would then get all the action. The shot can be changed by stopping the filming and moving the actors and then re filming the action again but in a different place. This type of production is used to create a more less cinema type effect within a program of film. This can be suitable for when the director wants the audience to feel more involved in the action ahead, or watching it from a point of an actor. This is then able to create a different atmosphere. The main benefit of using single camera techniques is that its cheaper then using a multiple camera techniques.
