Introduction to unit

UNIT  22 :   SINGLE CAMERA TECHNIQUES


Single camera is a method of filming  used in most fictional televison programmes  and  films, where one camera is used  at a time. This give the director a great deal of control over every shot.

(This is in contrast to programs that use multiple cameras , which are often shot live  e.g  chat shows and set-based soaps.)


In this unit you will be analysing and learning about different formats and genres of single camera productions, such as feature films, television serials and television series. We will look at how different narrative structures and features are used in different ways , and the ways technical methods  in  filmmaking are used  to create meaning for and emotional responses in audiences.

You will then be responsible for the planning , filming and postproduction  of your own single camera programme or film.
