Single Camera and Multiple Camera Production

Single Camera Production:

A single camera mode of production is a method of shooting films and television programs with just one camera. It is where each shot or camera angle in a production is taken with the same camera but at different times as between shots, the camera is moved. It is common to find that film and television productions shoot out of order and then assemble them into order when editing in post production. It is therefore likely that lighting set-ups will also be reset in between shots.

Multiple Camera Production:

The multiple camera mode of production is another way of shooting films and television programs. Unlike single camera productions, multiple camera involves several cameras which are set up and record footage simultaneously, as the name implies. With this technique, multiple shots are obtained without having to disturb the flow of the action by resetting the camera, unlike single camera productions. This mode of production is more commonly used among television programs that regularly output their episodes, and they are also essential in live television.
