Task 1
The Features and Principles of Single camera Techniques. Roles and responsibilities. Essay 1500 words.
Production
A Film Producer creates the conditions for filmmaking. The Producer initiates, coordinates, supervises, and controls things like raising funding, hiring key personnel, and arranging for distributors. The producer is involved throughout all phases of the film making process from development to completion of a project. There may be several producers on a film who may take a role in a number of areas, such as development, financing or production. Producers must be able to identify commercial, marketable projects. They need a keen business sense, and an intimate knowledge of all aspects of film production, financing, marketing and distribution.
An Executive Producer is a producer who was not involved in the technical aspects of the filmmaking process in the original definition, but has played a financial or creative role in ensuring that the project goes into production. Today, however, the title has become ambiguous, particularly in feature films. Since the 1980s, it has become more common for the line producer to have the title of executive producer, while the initiating producer takes the "produced by" credit.
The Line Producer is the liaison between the Studio or Producer and the Production Manager, responsible for managing the production budget. The title is the idea that the person is "on the line" on a day to day basis, and responsible for lining up the resources needed.
The Production Manager supervises the physical aspects of the production including personnel, technology, budget, and scheduling. It is the Production Manager's responsibility to make sure the filming stays on schedule and within its budget. The PM also helps manage the day to day budget by managing costs such as salaries, production costs, everyday equipment and rental costs. The PM often works under the supervision of a Line Producer and directly supervises the Production Coordinator.
The screenwriter will pitch a finished script to producers, or they will write a script under a contract to a producer. A writer may also be involved in the creative aspect of production.

task 2 Produce a written assignment based on your exploration and evaluation of a range of existing single drama texts through which you will demonstrate your understanding of:
For a single camera set up each shot would make up a scene and it is taken independently. An alternative production method, which is more widely used is still called a single camera, but in actuality two cameras are employed one to capture a medium shot of the scene while the other to capture a close up during the same take, which saves time as there are half as many set-ups for each scene.
One of the advantages of single camera drama production is that scenes don’t have to be shot in a certain sequence. They do a script in chronological order of the most efficient shooting order. The final sequence is arranged during the editing process.
Having only one camera in a shoot can present a challenge with the film's continuity, especially when shooting very interactive scenes with many characters and situations. Like a scene in a classroom, a market, or any other relatively dynamic setting would mean having to exactly copy the initial reactions of the characters and replicating difficult to repeat shots like falling props, stained costumes, and blasting cars. This is what makes scene building hard in single camera productions.
The multiple-camera setup is a method of filmmaking and video production. Several camera either film or professional video cameras are employed on the set and simultaneously record or broadcast a scene. It is often contrasted with single-camera setup, which uses one camera.
Sitcoms shot with the multiple camera setups like The Cosby Show These did not have a live studio audience and by being shot single-camera, tightly edited sequences could be created, along with multiple locations, and visual effects such as magical appearances and disappearances. Multiple-camera sitcoms were more simplified but have been compared to theatre work due to its similar set-up and use of theatre-experienced actors and crew members.
A production using the single-camera setup generally employs just one camera. Each of the various shots and camera angles is taken using the same camera, which is moved and reset to get each shot or new angle. Single camera makes the quality of the filming better and it is cheaper as there is only one camera, but this approach is time consuming and in TV production time is money
A series is a collection of episodes that run under the same title, all ending the story at the end of each episode. Examples of these are things such as Drama’s like the bill. A serial however, is different. In a serial drama the story has a continuous story line that flows onto the next episode. Examples of these are soap operas such as Coronation Street as each episode has an open end, in order to attract an audience for the next viewing. Some programs use a mix of the two by having a serial story line continuing to the next episode. They become a series however as they are show in sets of episodes, usually six. Examples of this are things such as friends and two pints. All of these mostly use a single camera set up for as it makes the quality better, that makes it look more attractive and should attract more viewers.
TV series like Scrubs use a single camera set up because it is better quality. They can also stop recording whenever they want to move the camera so they don’t need more than one camera. This would also be good because it is easier to redo shots when filming because it will all be on one camera.
TV serials like Coronation Street also use single camera set up. This is because it would be better quality for them and that will make it better for viewers. The filming will not be live for this so it would be better for them to use a single camera set up because it will have better quality and it will be cheaper for them.
Action films will use three or more cameras to capture multiple angles as action scenes take a great deal of time for only seconds to a few minutes of footage. With this method multiple set-ups for the same sequences can be largely avoided.
Drama is a mode of fiction represented in performance. The term comes from a Greek word meaning "action” which is derived from the verb meaning to act. The enactment of drama in theatre, performed by actors on a stage before an audience, presupposes collaborative modes of production and a collective form of reception. Dramas would be aimed at adults because they will understand what’s going on and they will be able to understand the drama. They may also aim it at teenagers to get more viewers and they can have stories that involve teenage characters.
A soap opera is a serial drama on television or radio that features multiple related story lines dealing with the lives of multiple characters. The stories in these series typically focus heavily on emotional relationships to the point of melodrama. These are usually aimed at adults because they will be the people who will be able to relate to the emotions that the characters are going through. They will also be the people who are most likely to understand what’s happening in the soap, younger viewers may not fully understand what’s happening so they would be lest interested.
In lighting there are two goals: get enough light; use the light you have to shape and define objects in the scene. The first light set is usually the key light. It's positioned thirty to forty-five degrees to the side of the camera and should strike the subject at an angle of about forty-five degrees from vertical. The backlight is placed directly behind the subject, in line with the camera. It, too, is set at a forty-five degree angle from vertical. Fill light is added on the side of the camera opposite the key light. Finally, background light is added to bring the background up to a level in the middle of the overall gray scale of the subject.

The things my character will have to ware are a fake beard, a big long coat, old shoes and old trousers. This will help to make him look homeless. And to make people know that he has been homeless for a long time. The prop I will need is a doll.
Shot list
Wide shot, mid shot, medium close up close up, over-the-shoulder shot.
Sound and lighting
The lighting for the movie will be quite dark because it will be night time and to add to the scary feel of the movie. I will edit the lighting so it will go darker. I will also add sounds and music to add to the tension of the movie.
Feasibility
The movie will be cheap and not to hard to make because I have my location for free and I don’t need a lot of equipment.
