Welcome to my project of single techniques!
My media blog starts today; our project is to make a 2-5 minute film extract using only a single camera to film. i started researching single camera techniques by looking at previous students work and also researching professional pieces released for the public to see. I will use this inspiration to make my footage unique, interesting and also captivating.
What Does Single Camera Techniques Mean?
A single Camera Techniques is as the name sounds, it is a film production where only one camera is used and is edited to make the footage more interesting, they are normally shot coherently with several shots considered. A major benefit that Single Camera gives to the director is that they have more control over the shots chosen and also makes the footage simple and easier to shoot due to not having to manage more than one camera. On the other hand, using Single Camera means that a multi-camera shot would give more prospective and also more flexibility with the shots chosen. Also the allowance of errors with some shots with more footage means that the director and editing team have more chance of errors.
I have been planning my Single Camera techniques for a while now with many plans and ideas being written up and I will be having a discussion about these ideas and negotiating them with me teacher (MR Stephens) to make sure all my plans are viable and are in the best interest of my grades.
