Using single camera techniques (SCT) in a webisode provides several advantages and disadvantages: - SCT allows for more creative control over elements like framing, depth of field, and composition in each individual shot. It also maintains audience interest through a variety of coverage shots. - Some advantages are creative control over lighting for each shot, the ability to get multiple takes of actions, and ease of filming on location with a small crew. - However, SCT also carries disadvantages like accidentally breaking continuity rules between shots or wasting time getting additional takes on location. It also results in more footage that requires logging and editing. - Proper planning through storyboarding is needed to make the most of S

Webisode Production SCT
Discuss how and why you have used single camera techniques in your webisode. This
will demonstrate your understanding of SCT from your practical assignment
- Advantages in cinematography - creativity and meaning (framing, depth offield, composition/rule of
thirds)
- Advantage in maintaining an audiences interest with a larger variety of coverage shots
- Advantages in creating drama and suspense in your sequence (variety ofcoverage shots etc)
- Advantages in being on location with a small crew and minimal equipment (or getting either accidentally
in shot)
- Advantages in controlling the lighting separately in each shot
- Advantages in having multiple takes of the action
- Advantages in beginning with a Master Shot
- Disadvantages in accidentally breaking continuity (180deg rule, action matches etc)
- Disadvantages in time required on-location to shoot multiple takes
- Disadvantages in amount offootage to log and edit (action matches, continuity etc)
- Disadvantages in having to plan more carefully (storyboard the appropriate number ofshots)
