In my next film, I plan on shooting with at least two cameras. In the beginning, I'm planning on using a TV set to make it look like I'm filming a real public access show and I would like to have two different shots of the set. Later on in the film, I'm going to be filming somewhere else to do the cooking portion of the story but still plan on using two cameras. So for my investigation, I looked into how multi-camera is done in the best way.
Multi-camera refers to any cinematography technique in which more than one camera is utilized to capture video. A multi-camera shoot typically comprises of 3-4 cameras all pointing at the same topic. The central cameras focus on a wide shot, allowing you to see the whole location or set, the outer cameras are used for close-ups on the subject, capturing the details of the action. However, depending on the subject and the director, multi-camera setups can be used in a variety of ways. There are two types of multi-camera filmmaking approaches. The first uses more than one camera, recording on each and then transferring the footage into non-linear editing software (NLE). In post-production, the editor cuts between the cameras after the footage has been synchronized. This procedure does not necessitate the use of any specialized equipment. When filming Multicam, it's critical to slate for both cameras so that they can sync properly in post. You may accomplish this by having both cameras initially frame up to capture the slate, or if reframing the camera is not possible, slate separately for each.The most common reason for using multi-camera filming is for a live program, such as a television show, a music performance, or theater and sports. It is utilized in this case because the subject being filmed cannot be stopped in order to reframe or redo a shot. Because a second take is not a possibility, the other camera can get all of the shots you require while your subject performs. Multi-camera is a highly handy tool if you need to shoot something as live as possible without pausing; it also works well if you need to film something quickly and get the show out as soon as possible due to the ability to skip the post-production processes.It may also be beneficial to your performers. By shooting Multicam, your talent does not have to repeat the same performance as they would in a single camera shot. This is particularly useful when shooting strongly unscripted or stunt-related situations, as the movements and speech in the scenario may not be reproducible. The next benefit on the list is continuity. You can ensure consistent continuity in the editing room by capturing performers' blocking and interaction with props.
