Multi-Camera Camerawork by Peter Ward
A large proportion of broadcast, satellite, cable television and corporate video programmes are produced using a multi-camera production technique which has its own distinct discipline, equipment and operational procedures compared to the single camera, single shot technique practised in film and lightweight video camera operation. A large proportion of broadcast, satellite, cable television and corporate video programmes are produced using a multi-camera production technique which has its own distinct discipline, equipment and operational procedures compared to the single camera, single shot technique practiced in film and lightweight video camera operation. Television multi-camera techniques were invented and adapted to suit virtually any programme format, from sports coverage, pop concerts, audience discussions, state occasions, game shows, opera and concerts. If you are a new, or long-established cameraman whose training was in single camera working, or a student on a media course with no access to professional broadcast multi-camera studios, Multi-camera Camerawork is the book for you. It is a comprehensive, step-by-step guide which will prepare you for the range of techniques you are likely to encounter in your new role as a multi-camera cameraman working for the first time in a television studio of on an outside broadcast. Peter Ward is a freelance cameraman and trainer and ex-Chairman of the Guild of Television Cameramen. He spent many years working on a variety of programmes at the BBC and was formerly Head of Cameras at Television South West. He is the author of Basic Betacam Camerawork (also in the Media Manual series) and Picture Composition for Film and Television both published by Focal Press.

all persuations
