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.
