TASK 1 : features of Single camera Production
Single camera production is when one camera operates at a time. A huge difference between multiple camera and single camera is the order that they are shot in, for example, multiple camera set-ups are filmed chronologically whereas a single camera is in order during editing.
There are some advantages and disadvantages of single camera production:
- the use of single camera work makes it look like the creators used different cameras because of the use of different shots and with the techniques of editing.
- the cost of filming the media product would be cheaper.
- the director can choose and select what scene would be in the footage.
- quality of the scenes would be the same as only one camera is being used, so the quality won't be altered.
- Since only one camera is used, the mobility of the camera crew and resources are easier as there's less to carry.
Disadvantages of single camera production:
- the scenes would have to taken repeatedly.
- the use of single camera techniques takes longer to edit, as there are more clips to gather and filter.
- the camera has to change positions to get the full scene.
- there are no back up shots to replace scene that have gone wrong, so the crew would have to be more tentative to capture the shots.
Different forms and examples:
- Single strand narrative = one story told from start to finish, usually with a point or moral that producer is trying to make or get audience to engage with. Usually follow set format of equilibrium-disruption-equilibrium.
- Multi-strand narrative = tells two or more stories alongside each other. They often cross over each other to offer an alternative ‘reality’, e.g. many TV adverts do this mixing a fictional narrative as a short drama mixed with a product information narrative as a voiceover. The different narrative threads of the story may also come together in key scenes.
- linear = Telling a story from ABCD
- non-linear = e.g. middle-middle-beginning-flashbacks-ending
- narrative devices, e.g. flashbacks, cliffhangers, dramatic irony
- realist – e.g. The Inbetweeners,
- anti-realist – e.g. CSI, Doctor Who
- open endings - e.g. cliffhangers
- closed endings - story resolution
