single-camera setup

A single-camera setup refers to a filmmaking technique where one camera is used to shoot a scene, often in a more controlled and cinematic style. Unlike multi-camera setups, which capture multiple angles simultaneously—common in live television or sitcoms—a single-camera approach allows for more creative framing and lighting. This technique is often used in film and serialized television dramas to create a more immersive and nuanced storytelling experience. Each shot is carefully planned and may require multiple takes to get the desired performance and visual effect, providing a polished final product.
