Welcome to Unit 20: Single Camera Techniques

While camera equipment is becoming ever more accessible and portable, the fundamental techniques for single camera production remain unchanged. Good quality, well-exposed and composed footage can be achieved on all cameras with manual functions and can lead to professional outcomes. 

In this unit, you will focus on the techniques of using a single camera to capture high-quality footage to create a narrative production. You will investigate manual functions of a camera as well as the compositions and support or movement of camera shots. You will then produce recorded material demonstrating your use of advanced camera techniques, including movements, different mounting options and make selections from this material to produce appropriate footage for a single camera production. 

Most productions in the corporate and non-broadcast media industry are made using single camera techniques and it is now more accessible than ever to produce your own short films. The skills you learn and develop in this unit can be taken to employment or developed further in higher education. 

Learning Aims 

A Understand single camera productions 
B Explore single camera techniques 
C Produce a single camera production.
