analysis of single camera techniques


The Big Bang Theory is a popular sit-com from america that uses single shot camera techniques to tell complex narratives, for example it would use a long single shot to get a better understanding of whats happening in the scene, for example in one scene they use sheldon waiting in a parking space and it is 1 take and he waits there for several minutes talking to himself.
Friends is a popular sit-com from america, it is a very famous sit com, and would use single shots so that other people viewing it would get a better understanding of the programme and its longer therefore having a better explanation because it uses single shot camera techniques to tell complex narratives.
The Flight Of The Concords is a sit com and it uses many single shots to explain the story better to the audience, and would also sometimes have music videos  is a popular sit-com from New Zealand that uses single shot camera techniques to tell complex narratives. for example in one show they do a music video where it contains many 1 shot takes.



This movie uses many single shot or single takes, this is because it is needed due to the long scenes it also help explain complicated scenes, as the film has a quite complicated story and is there for in need of single takes. for example in this film they use a very long shot when they are in the car and they a driving and they are attack and they then have to escape.



This film, Donnie Darko is a horror genre film and is filmed with many single takes to explain scenes that are hard to understand, for example a long shot will occur in a talking scene where an important discussion is being made. for example in this film they use a very long single shot in a scene where he is travelling back in time.


Is this horror genre film they use a lot of single shot takes to explain  difficult scenes, for example in one scene there is a young girl moving the lawn with goes on about several minutes and it is all in one take this if to make it more realistic as it is at a point of view of the girl.



This music video is taken in one shot as it is needed as the activities going on are very complicated and it would not be as good if it was in separate shots, for example there is things that set of other things like a dominos that will chain react and turn on a light, it is all one tale.

 This music video is very famous as it was all in one take and is very hard to get in one take as the story is so complicated, the video is them transferring from running machines and they are dancing on it and it would not be the same if it was in separate shots, it is all one take.

This music video is taken in one take, as it needs this because it is a complicated video and is need to have single takes to get the viewers a better understanding for example they used a one take shot when they are in the car playing the instruments, however they then switch it to a better point of veiw.

  1. This is working towards Merit Harry. Lots of good examples with some good explanation. To work towards Distinction you might try and analyse different shots in the same video to talk about the technical difficulties in more depth.
