single-camera

Single-camera production is a method where all scenes are captured using one camera, which is moved and reset for each shot. This approach is often used in film and high-quality TV, allowing for greater control over lighting, angles, and editing. It differs from multi-camera setups, where multiple cameras record simultaneously, typically for live or studio shows. Single-camera filming offers more cinematic flexibility, enabling varied shot compositions and deliberate pacing. While it can be more time-consuming and costly, it results in a polished, seamless final product with a cinematic look and feel.
