What is the definition of Single Camera?

Single camera techniques is a technique used to deploy a single camera set up on a set of a scene to optimise as multiple cameras. Single camera tends to make the scene more realistic as the camera is in focus of what the audience is seeing and matching the action of the scene. this impacts the audience more clearly.

What are the main advantages of single camera techniques ?

One of the main advantages of using single camera is the master shot can be established in the scene. The master shot is a wide shot which provides the scene with the major elements of the scene. This can include: dialogue, storytelling and action. another main advantage of using single camera is that it is cheaper than multi camera. Another advantage is that one camera sets the scene of the genre more appealing whereas multi camera has the awkward angles which don't have the same sense of feeling towards the scene. Another example is that you wouldn't need more than one camera staff, as there is only one camera. Another example is that the camera is easier to move around as the is only one camera. Lastly another advantage is that the camera is more convenient to awkward shots as the cameraman/woman can go through the actors.
