This allows for more footage to choose from during editing and capturing different views. The main genres that use multi-camera techniques are sports, concerts, public events, game shows, chat shows and magazine shows. While it provides advantages like flexibility and redundancy, it also requires more equipment and setup time. Examples discussed are the Olympics, which uses movable cameras to keep up with athletes, and EastEnders, a soap opera that films scenes from multiple angles to save time in editing.
Single camera production techniques
Single camera productions differ from multi-camera productions in their use of cameras, lighting, sound, editing, and genres. With single camera, the director has more control over camera movement to set the mood and get viewers more involved in the scene. Lighting can also be used to create different tones. Sound editing is more complex as it needs to blend shots seamlessly. Editing takes longer without multiple angles to choose from. Common single camera genres include period dramas, crime dramas, horror, and comedy, as they benefit from the sense of realism and ability to set mood that single camera allows.
Presentation on single camera
The single-camera setup is a method of filmmaking and video production where a single camera is used to film each scene. For each shot or angle, the camera is moved and repositioned while the lighting is typically reconfigured. This differs from multi-camera setups where multiple cameras film a scene simultaneously from different angles.
Genre media
Genre refers to categories of artistic works such as literature, music, and film. Genres are defined by conventions that change over time as new genres emerge and old ones fade away. Films can be categorized by their themes, settings, moods or formats. However, defining film genres is complex as most Hollywood films blend elements of multiple genres. The need to categorize films into genres is important for marketing films to audiences and enabling discussion, but genres are not pure and film identities can be ambiguous.
Single camera production
Single camera production uses a single camera to film all shots, which is commonly used for low-budget productions like music videos, dramas, and sitcoms. Scenes are typically filmed with all of one actor's lines together before moving to the other actor. Though more time consuming than multi-camera production, single camera gives directors more control over each individual shot and is cheaper due to only requiring one camera. The disadvantages include needing to repeatedly set up the camera between scenes and losing all footage if the sole camera is damaged.
Lesson 1 - an introduction to multicamera filming techniques
This document discusses multi-camera productions, which involve filming events or programs using multiple cameras simultaneously to capture different angles of the action. There are two main types - live events like concerts, sports and ceremonies, and studio programs like game shows, talk shows and sitcoms. Using multiple cameras allows productions to reduce time and costs by not needing to reshoot from different angles or edit footage together later. It also keeps viewers engaged by providing varied visuals and coverage of unfolding events from diverse perspectives. Multi-camera techniques are particularly useful for capturing live productions in a single take and building emotional connections through reactions shots.

Single camera Techniques Presentation - Task 1
This document provides information on various film techniques and narrative structures. It discusses different formats for drama like TV serials and series. It also explores genres like crime, comedy and period pieces. Various narrative structures are covered, including linear vs non-linear, Todorov's three-part theory, and examples like flashbacks. Technical aspects like cinematography, lighting, editing and scripting are also summarized. An example short film called "The Crossing" is analyzed in the closing section.
Tv Drama Formats
There are four main categories of TV drama formats: single dramas, series, serials, and soaps. Single dramas are one-off stories while series have different stories each week with the same characters. Serials continue storylines between episodes to encourage continued viewing. Soaps feature many ongoing storylines across multiple characters that can last weeks or months.
Narrative structure theory
The document discusses different types of narrative structures that can be used in graphic narratives. It describes open narratives as having no definite conclusion and being open-ended, while closed narratives tie up the story with a clear ending. Single strand narratives follow one character's storyline without subplots, while multi-strand narratives feature multiple interconnecting storylines. Linear narratives present the plot chronologically, whereas non-linear narratives jump around in time. Realist narratives are realistic reflections of real-world events, and anti-realist narratives involve fantasy elements not found in reality.
Aspects of Genre
Period dramas typically feature young, heroic white protagonists and focus on themes of love, family, and relationships set within a particular patriarchal society of the past. Documentary dramas, also known as docudramas, re-enact real historical events through research and sometimes first-person accounts. Crime genres revolve around a protagonist investigating a death or crime like murder, robbery, or suicide, typically ending with the revelation of who committed the act and justice prevailing. Soap operas are ongoing serial dramas without narrative resolution that end on cliffhangers and explore different emotional atmospheres over time through changing plots.
Coursework Evaluation Q5.
The document discusses how the filmmakers addressed their audience and chose genres for their film. They used the mob genre, which involves organized crime and the mafia. Early mob films also incorporated elements of film noir, which refers to crime thrillers from the 1940s-1950s. The filmmakers looked to classics in the mob genre like The Godfather trilogy and Goodfellas for inspiration. Their film also followed Tzvetan Todorov's Equilibrium Theory of narrative, which proposes five stages where the normal equilibrium is disrupted and attempts are made to repair it before achieving a new equilibrium.
Zombieland analysis
The title sequence of Zombieland establishes it as both a horror and comedy film through various indicators. It shows iconic horror elements like gore and the colors red and black. However, it also depicts comedic conventions, such as a zombie interrupting a wedding. While the sequence exposes viewers to many scenes and characters, it does not clearly convey the narrative or main protagonists. The slow-motion cinematography adds humor and offsets the gore.
Media Coursework Q5
The document discusses the genre and narrative approaches used in the film. For genre, it focuses on the mob/crime genre, which deals with organized crime and often overlaps with film noir. For narrative, it follows Tzvetan Todorov's Equilibrium Theory, where the normal order is constantly disrupted throughout five stages: equilibrium, disruption of equilibrium, recognition of the disruption, an attempt to repair the disruption, and achieving a new equilibrium. The genre creates a view of the secret criminal world through settings like dark nightclubs and neon-lit streets, while the narrative keeps the audience unbalanced until restoring order.
Narratives and formats
This document discusses web-based dramas, including their conventions, narratives, and examples. Web dramas are fictional stories distributed online, typically 6-10 minutes and in a serialized format. They feature unknown casts and cliffhanger endings. Compared to television dramas, web dramas have lower budgets, are shorter, have more creative freedom, and are more accessible to viewers. Narrative structures include linear, non-linear, realist, and those with flashbacks or open/closed endings. Examples highlighted are Emma Approved, Compulsions, and Geek Love.

Wed Dramas
This document discusses differences between web dramas and TV dramas, narratives used in web dramas, and conventions of web dramas. Specifically, it notes that web dramas are less restricted than TV dramas and can be more anti-realistic. It describes common narrative structures like linear, non-linear and flashbacks. Conventions include episodes being 6-10 minutes, unknown actors, continuous storylines between episodes, and cliffhangers. Examples of web dramas discussed include The Power Inside about aliens needing something from a man, Geek Love about comic book fans finding romance, and Emma Approved taking a narrative approach like The Lizzie Bennet Diaries.
