Single camera techniques involve filming with one camera as opposed to multi-camera setups which use multiple cameras. Some examples of single camera shows are dramas like Doctor Who and Skins, which allow for more location shooting and creative camerawork compared to multi-camera sitcoms like Come Fly With Me. Effective single camera techniques include building scenes with sequences of shots, following the 180 degree rule, using master shots, shot reverse shot patterns, creative lighting, rule of thirds composition, specific shot types and angles, camera movement, depth of field control, and matching shots during editing.
