Types of Production From live multi-camera to single- camera film style

Multi-camera Live and Live-to-tape " switched" (edited) as the show progresses studio/field more economical compromise aesthetically Examples? Live vs. live-on-tape?

Multi-camera Live and Live-to-tape Requires a video switcher Crew must work together, director ‘calls the shots’ 2-30 cameras at once

Single Camera (film style) shot in field, edited in "post" news, drama, films more expensive & time consuming more artistic control Examples?

Multi-camera/multi-VTR > 1 camera, combined in post- production Some interviews, talk shows Atypical mode of production

Production media - Film 8, 16, 35 mm film chemical/physical process; expose, develop, cut grain, contrast, low light, resolution more expensive, higher quality

Production media - Film always edited in post, often transferred to digital files, edited on computer then transferred back to film better contrast ratio (light vs. dark areas in frame) aesthetically "past" - tends to have 'historic' look even if shot last week

Production Media: Video "broadcast quality" vs. home Formats Broadcast quality - Beta, BetaSP, MII, DVCPro, DVC Cam Lower broadcast quality / "Prosumer" - SVHS, Hi8, mini DV... Home quality - VHS, 8mm, VHS-C

Production media: Video electronic vs. chemical light "transduced" into electrical signal, digital code contrast ratio, resolution problems immediate production, immediacy

Production media: Video less expensive (in general) perceived lower quality (in general) aesthetically "present" - tends to have a 'present' look even if shot years ago
