multiple camera(news) pre

what is a Multiple camera?

A diagram of a Multi camera shoot
Its when you use more than one camera to film the same shot but at different angles. The diagram to the left show 4 camera in different positions filming 2 people. from how the cameras are positioned and where the people are I would say:
Camera 1 is filming a close up on B face (focusing on their talking)
Camera 2 is filming a mid shot of A and B( showing some body language and talking)
Camera 3 is filming wide shot of A and B( this is show the location/set and their interaction with it)
Camera 4 is filming a close up on A face( focusing on their talking)


Multi- camera Productions are used for films( filming an explosion from different angles because they lost a lot of money to set up again) Presenter shows( top gear as they will film the presenters from different angles) and for the news ( 2-4 cameras on the presenters/journalists 1 camera for the weather and maybe 1 camera if they have a local news section like the BBC have).  The main reason for them doing a multi camera shoot is money and time saving and conferences.


filming any of the film or TV types listed above will cost a lot of money to do with a single camera or a multi camera  but You will be saving money for a multi camera for these. E.e top gear when they present the news they they will need 5 cameras, one camera for each of them( their 3 of them) 1 camera for the 2  that sit next to each other and 1 for a wide shot that will film all 3.  if it was a single camera you will need to film this 5 times the amount that you would for a multi camera production.  You will be saving money by filming it all at once as making it a single camera will take days to a week to film what could be a day. Saving money on cost of staff equipment, food, and the cost for the presenters. this will also making it hard to edit as show the episode the same week. and give the footage in bit when the show 4 days later is risking not making it to the deadline.

This link shows BBC News I will talk about each shot any why they do it for the first 3 mins.

1st shoot is a camera on the dolly and this cuts to a different camera ( a camera between 2 and 3 on the diagram above) let the viewer see the presenters the camera then zooms in so they become more in frame.

After they introduce them selfs they show the tops stories of the day. They talk over these footage.
This cuts to the same shot as before the top stories.  After a quick talk about the top stories it cut to where camera 1 is on the diagram. The camera shows 3 people.person A and B ( in the diagram) and C is on a screen next to B. Next The camera only show the sports man. the camera will be facing him dead on( between 2 and 3 in the diagram).

viral advert and evaluation

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o4FvbVF249Q&feature=youtu.be



For the Viral advert i decided not to film it but to draw Terrence and Philip in photoshop. This is because i could not get an image from the internet that had them as 4 layers in stead i found them as one layer and i could't use this because using the puppet tool would make the whole image move not just the parts that i wanted to move. The Canadian flag and With Out My Anus where both got from the internet however I edited the With Out My Anus poster with text and the Comedy Central image which I got from the internet and added them all together in photoshop.  The music is form the south park movie and i added the instrumental version of it to the advert so fans of south park will know what the song is but if I used the normal version the lyrics might mislead the viewer what is being said due to the fact that the narrator is very quite and is hard to hear. This is due to me using a bad mic or recording software or both. This advert was rendered as a quick time video making it easy to watch on the internet on websites like Imdb and it also makes it viewable for people who want to watch it on the iPhone or androids phones. Overall I like the Viral advert I liked how the Terrance and Philip looked and moved but the only thing i don't like is the narrating and voices for Terrance and Philip as it too quite.

viral advert story board and effects used


This is my storyboard for Terance and philip show with out my anus.

Its starts with the flag and a voice over.

Then cut to Terrance and Philip. with a spinning flag.

They talk till Terrance farts and they laugh about it

Ends with showing what the advert was for( TV SHOW) with a voice over.


Effects

Layers- Terrence and Phillip are both drawn and added as 2 different layers for each of them.

Mattes-Terrence and Philip are on top of a moving background.

Key frames- Key frames where used to make Terrence and Phillip by adding keyframes on both parts of their heads and changing the position . the background was added to spin by making the key frames for the flag far apart, and I used key frames to make Terrence move when he farted by rotating him and changing his possession.
