TASK 1
What is a single camera production?
Television shows or movies can be filmed using a single camera. Single camera productions provide the impression that each shot was personally captured by showing the viewer the scene or shot through just one camera.

What are the benefits and limitation single camera techniques?
Single-camera production has advantages.
Single cameras frequently move during filming with the use of dollies and tracking tools, giving the finished video a more dramatic air. Single camera rather than multi-camera filming is nearly often used in motion pictures, dramatic television series, advertising, and music videos.

what is a multi-camera production
Any method of cinematography when more than one camera is utilised to record video is referred to as multi-camera. The method, which was initially applied in the Russian historical drama "Defence of Sevastopol," is now more frequently utilised on live television to let the editor or director switch between cameras as they see fit.

what are the advantages and disadvantages of multi camera techniques
Instead than depending on a single camera, shot statically from one viewpoint, multicamera cinematography offers for far more interesting and pleasurable watching. A scene won't drag on as long if you use different camera angles to move from a wide shot to a close up, and your tale will have more depth as a result.​

​
the narration.
A tried-and-true method for creating documentaries is to utilise historical or recorded live video material with voice-over narration. By using this method, the information from the voice-over enriches the narrative that is being displayed and told in the actual movie or video.

​
They utilise many cameras since the topic is live and they wouldn't be able to capture the time or incident again. For instance, if it's an animal, they'd need more than one camera because they can't interfere and the animal is wild and unpredictable.
TV Dramas
a set of television programmes that are aired in regular intervals with a considerable pause between each group, often starting one year apart. A TV drama is a programme that airs in a series and often wraps up at the end of each episode before moving on.

​
​
TV dramas employ multiple camera productions because it makes it simpler to shoot numerous episodes in a day and allows them to capture the spontaneity of the situations.
YouTube Vlog
The vloggers' hand-held cameras are typically used for their Youtube vlogs.
​
A video blog, often known as a video log or simply a vlog, is a type of blog that uses video as its primary medium. Vlog posts frequently include embedded videos along with supplementary text, photos, and metadata. Entries may be recorded in a single take or in a number of takes. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vlog
You could be a fan of the British soap opera if you're all about the drama. These TV (and radio) shows, which are sometimes just referred to as "soaps," have enormous, passionately devoted fans and frequently last for decades. The Archers, a British radio soap opera that has been airing since 1950, is the longest-running soap opera in history.

In the US, situation comedies, often known as sitcoms, have long been a favorite comedy subgenre, first on radio in the 1920s and then on television starting in the 1940s. A sitcom is a television program that has a cast of characters that appear often in a succession of funny situations.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sitcoms_in_the_United_States
​
Due to the constant turning of the character or a group of characters in sitcoms and soap operas, single camera production is used.
A music video is a clip with a variable duration that combines audio from a song or album with visuals created for marketing or musical creative reasons. The main purpose of creating and using modern music videos is to advertise music and encourage the purchase of music recordings.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Music_video
​
Depending on how they want their video to look, music videos can employ either multiple camera productions or single camera productions. However, single is more typical, giving them greater control over the shoots and allowing for more detail.

Advertising is defined as a practise in which the public is drawn to something, usually a good or service. A product, brand, or service is advertised to a viewership through the use of an advertising to pique their attention, encourage interaction, and increase sales.

Depending on the topic, product, or service being advertised, single- or multi-camera productions may be used. Single camera is typically used for modest, plain advertisements.
Multiple camera productions are used at sporting events since a sport is continuously in action and they need to capture all the perspectives of the competitors in their respective sports, such as high jump, track, long jump, etc.
Tracking
Tracking: Moving the camera in, out, left, or right in response to a subject's motion (Dollying)
Any shot in which the camera physically pans sideways, forward, or backward through the scene is referred to as a tracking shot in cinematography. Tracking shots track one or more moving subjects for a longer period of time than other views and immerse the spectator in a specific environment.

Zooming
When a camera lens' focal length is changed to create the appearance of moving closer to or further away from the subject, the result is a zoom photograph. A zoom lens, which has adjustable focal lengths, is used to take zoom images.
Zooming: The movement of the camera lens in or out of a scene. The camera doesn't move, but the lens does

Tilting
A cinematographic method known as tilting involves keeping the camera stationary while rotating it up and down in a vertical plane. When the camera is tilted, it makes a head-raising or -lowering motion that resembles someone looking up or down.
Panning
Panning, which comes from the term "panoramic," is the act of turning the camera horizontally while sweeping it across the subject. As an example, while following an actor up a staircase, it can also be angled up or down in a vertical panning shot or a diagonal pan.https://www.britannica.com/topic/panning-shot#:~:text=movements%20is%20to%20turn%2C%20or,an%20actor%20up%20a%20stairway.
