single camera work

a) Define 'single camera production':

Single Camera productions are the film or television production that has a majority of scenes shot with only one camera set, this is used so that they can control the way the scene comes out and be able to move the camera quickly because of the use of only one camera.

b) Identify the advantages and disadvantages of single camera production (refer to examples where you can):

Advantages: It is cheaper to shoot the scenes as you only need one camera and one cameraman to operate it.  It is cheaper to control the lighting and mood of a scene as you only need to cater the lights for one point of view and these can be changed as it moves. With one camera you can make shooting in small sites easier as you don't have to accommodate for keeping the other camera out of sight, giving them more space to shoot.

Disadvantages It takes more time to shoot certain scenes as having only one camera makes taking and getting more takes and shots harder, also it becomes slower and makes the time they can use shorter as the time for a perfect shot disappears. you can't get as much view of the space in the set as the camera can only get one sight of the set and can't give the other perspectives that change it.  you need multiple takes and shots to get the take you need for the shot that you want which will take time and longer than you have.

c) How does multi-camera differ to single camera productions?

multiple camer productions use more cameras than a single camera production. it is the preferred technique in shows and movies which pump out their episodes quickly to keep up with demand like soaps and dramas, Eastenders and Big Bang Theory.

d) List 3 examples of single camera shows/films (aim for different genres)

1) Breaking Bad

2) Game Of Thrones

3) A Clockwork Orange 

List 3 examples of multi-camera shows (aim for different genres)

1) Big Bang Theory 

2) BBC

3) Eastenders 

4) What is the definition of genre? Why is this important for audiences?

genre is the terms with which film and television shows are categorised by the iconography and mood that the moving pictures give. the term genre makes the film or television show become more digestible as the public can now understand what this piece of art is as it becomes clearly defined as something recognisable but with its own elements, moods and ideas.

research

research is the infra recon summary of numerous different facts and figures to come to a conclusion that supports an idea or thought which is apart of the subject to begin with.

Activity One:

If you were going to develop a new game or franchise in the current market then you have to look at the competitors and see what is popular and what is oversaturating and market. These are tactics that help you understand what the current state of public opinion is, what was popular and what is running its course. you need to know what type and genre of game is most popular, what kind of graphics or hardware compatibility. you could look at the top selling games of the month or year to see what is popular, when the trend began and when tit started to become oversaturated. you need to make sure that there is an audience willing and able to support your computer game.

Activity Two:
Quantitative – Quantitative research consists of the business asking customers and consumers for their opinions which are used by the business to turn into statistics and facts, all of which culminate in what could be said to be a verifiable examination of the market at the current moment. Quantitative research uses surveys from the customers and questions given to the customers.   This mechanical and technical view on the customers and what they stand for allow for the information to be handled and given to generations later so that they may be able to learn from their mistakes or triumphs in ways that can be read by all generations. When the business takes this information from surveys, they gain an even closer look on the customers and it provides a closer look on them. The source of this information are the marketing branches of the business and the management branch. The management branches need this information in a numeral form as it lets them sift through a load of work without the constraints of having to decipher the different phrases and framing. It lets the business take charge quickly without the constraints of having to work through lines of different phrases.

Qualitative – Qualitative research is that which determines and works to find the underlying qualms and desires of the public. It is to find out the problems with their products, tactics and gives them the ability to create new ideas from hearing from the consumers they gather and confer with in focus groups and observations of statistics and scenes. The research is vital to keeping fresh and relevant in a changing world. This is usually with a small pool of a few participants which the company determines to be of representative of their generation and scene, which they feel to cater to.
