Multi camera production: A camera with multi cameras
Single camera productions
- A single camera production is not expensive because you don't have to hire as much staff
- The performance of the actors will be great because it helps the creative process because you know when it's your time to act.
- The locations aren't designed to have multiple cameras on them which is why single camera productions are mainly done on location.
- Because it's a single camera production there doesn't need to be many crew people
Formats of Single camera productions
- Serial drama - Something that runs for 3 or 4 nights and that's it (Black Mirror)
- Series - Something that happens continuously (Breaking bad)
- One-Off (Film) - Most films are single camera productions. Documentaries as well
Narrative Structure
- Sequential/Linear - Starts at the beginning and ends at the end. Everything is in chronological order
- Non-Linear - Doesn't run from beginning to end (Starts like in the middle or something)
- Flashback - Exposition (Backstory)
- Realist - Narrative might be based in the real world
- Anti-Real - World that isn't real
- Ending - Open/Closed - You can have two different endings: Closed, include some kind of resolution. Open, one that would leave it on a cliff hanger
