how do you do more than one camera angle. do you take one part the change area and redo the same thing and just post the two together |

Yep. Film twice (or more), the same action from different angles. |

Thats what i do. I think its more interesting to the audience if you show them different angles than to see only one long shot. Simply cut it together in postproduction, donīt care too much about the difference between to shots. Even in Hercules: The legendary Journeys you can sometimes see that the actor looks different than in the shot before because it was not filmed with several cameras.
I hope i understood your question.[This message has been edited by MarcArts (edited 05-30-2000).] |

whoa! wait, hercules has errors in it? wow, coulda fooled me  but seriously, when i do my multi angle shots, i usually just use two cams, or if i only have one camera man, i just tell him at what point to pause and then we move on to the next part of that shot, instead of doing it all over, but i will try that some time.------------------
I was normal once..... I didn't like it.

The usual way for film is to work with one camera and setup each new angle separately (lights, composition, etc).Some TV shows (especially sitcoms) work with multiple cameras rolling at the same time. The advantage is that the whole process is faster. But as you don't setup your lights and general composition for each camera angle individually, you lose something in quality. Have you ever looked at a sitcom and thought: "this is good cinematography"? Probably not. Drama-type TV shows tend to be shot with one camera. Personally, I tend to go for the one camera technique, as it allows for more freedom, but I've worked with up to 3 cameras before. But I had so much footage in the end (close to 10 hours) that I never did it again. |

yeah i did 2 cameras once and it was cool, but I think using 1 is easier, and I never have enough people to act as it is, so cant afford to put someone else on camera (i usally am on camera). ANd editing gets just that much more complicated. And you have to worry about keeping camera2 out of frame. | |
