Larry in Lincolnton asked:
<<I've often heard the term "one camera" when talking about filming
TAGS. Would someone explain it so even me and Goober would understand?>>
This is a fairly drawn out discussion so here's the basics:
SINGLE CAMERA
The single-camera setup is a method of shooting films and television
programs using one camera to capture each shot making up a particular
scene. The scene mus be shot 3 times when using this method in order to
have (1) a close-up shot of the primary character, (2) a close-up of the
secondary character, and (3) a wide angle shot showing both. If more
"angles" area needed, the actors must perform the scene 1 time each for
every angle needed to meet the directors vision of how the scene should
look on screen.
MULTI-CAMERA
An alternate production method is the multiple-camera setup, which uses
two or more cameras running simultaneously, and the scene is run through
(hopefully) one time from start to finish capturing every angle needed
by the director in one performance by the actors. (i.e. One performance
by the actors is captured from many angles all at the same time.
