The single camera setup, or single camera mode of
production, is a method of filmmaking and video production.
A single camera – either motion picture camera or
professional video camera – is employed on the set and each shot recorded to
make up a scene is taken individually.
A production using the single camera setup generally employs
just one camera.
Each of the various shots and camera angles is taken using
the same camera, which is moved and reset to record each change of shot. The lighting
setup is typically reconfigured for each camera setup.
History
Traditionally, the single camera mode was used in film
productions where celluloid was running through the camera because very often
the cost entailed by the celluloid process excluded the option of shooting with
more than one camera.
Contrast
The single camera film set up can be contrasted with the 2
camera or multiple camera set ups which are regularly used in digital film
productions in TV.
