Another example of a different camera shot is the one to the left of the camera
zoomed up on the player after
scoring a goal to see his
celebration, this is so that the
audience feel closer to the
action and feel an actual part
of what is happening. From this
camera we get a closer insight
to how the team and player
feel about their goal and we
get to see clearly of how they
are feeling and what is
happening on the pitch, as we
can see the player is happy
with his goal and we can see
this by the body language and
expression of the player. We
can also see that another team
member is very happy with the
goal and is joining in with the
celebrations. This is a different
camera angle but with the
same purpose, to zoom in what is happening from the pitch and show us what is
happening, from this view we can see a face on view of both the players and as
the viewer we feel more involved with the game and we feel like we are actually
their as we can experience the same feelings as the players. This maintains our
interests because we want to see how the players are going to celebrate, and
especially if you are a fan of the team that has just scored you want to see your
team celebrate and see the best coverage of this possible and this is what these
two shots can offer you.
shows us live what is happening on the stage with the act that is currently
performing, we could be seeing them opening their set or in the middle of
performing a song, with the camera we will also see the rest of the band, if there
is any or others who will be helping a solo artist with their music. In terms of
maintaining our interests We get to see the artist up close so this gives us a
chance to find out what they are doing, how they are feeling, and a chance to
see them up close as if we feel we are right near them when they are on our
screens and see them sing up close which can offer us a personal experience and
a chance to see how they work up close.
The camera which is one of the main cameras is the primary stage camera, this
camera is the main camera which will show the act performing and what camera
will most likely be used most
of the time to show the act
when being televised. This is
because we can see a clear
view of the act performing and
see every aspect of it, so what
they are doing, if their playing
an instrument we can see
clearly how it is being played
as seen to the right, singing
also to. This will maintain our
interests because its focused
primarily on the act, so
everything they are doing we
can see for ourselves in a very clear format. The act is always the main
attraction to a concert and this camera position allows this to happen.
There are constraints in a multi camera set up at a concerts there are so many
cameras, there could easily be technical faults with the cameras, with sometimes
cameras being on cranes, there would be a huge risk that one maybe could just
fall of and it could break which would mean thousands of pounds spent on
another camera and no footage from that position. Some other constraints could
be that with some cameras being on stage, this would the artist could become
easily distracted or maybe even bump into one of the cameras which would just
ruin the whole set, as there are so many cameras it would be important to
transition from camera to camera but also knowing what camera to do, as there
are so many at a concert and every moment is important, this is very important
to pick the right one wisely and there could be mistakes.
Weve looked at live events and how the multicamera system works, but now its
time to look at Stage Production and the first one I will be looking at is a game
show, Celebrity. A games show is usually set out with 4-20 cameras depending
on how big the programme, and size of the studio is. Usually there would be 2
cameras for each person, you would then have a camera which would be a group
shot, this would be one of the main shots as it has every one in all together in
one shot, this camera would be used a lot. A side camera which maybe capture
the group from a slightly sided view to the left or right. A camera that would
focus primarily on the host whereas the other cameras would focus on the
guests.
The first camera which is
used a lot in game shows is
the classic group shot at
the start, where you get to
see whos on the
programme, and all of the
cast together, in this
camera shot youll get to
see the whole set up, what
the game show looks like,
the guests on the
programme and get an
overall general feeling of
what it is about. From this camera we get to engage with the audience and all
the cast as we can see a clear view of everyone, what they are doing, how they
are all feeling and what they are preparing for next, this gives us a clear
understanding.
