Shooting of sports

Shooting of Sports
Sports are always done by multiple cameras shooting. Sports are usually done live so the technique has to be precise. Sports may have several cameras but like hockey volleyball basketball football and many others there’s an above shot lined up with the middle so you should be able to see the whole playing field court or ice surface. The other cameras will either be in the corners or at the end. Some sports you are able to get cameras on different spots than you would in other sports like in hockey you can get cameras inside the net or above the net looking straight down. In football you can get cameras in the uprights or in baseball they have one built in on the pitching mound. All these cameras are attached to one switcher that is usually controlled in a high spot in a box so that they can see all the cameras and the whole game allowing them to know what camera to switch to.

Multiple Cameras Shooting Treatment

Multiple Cameras Shooting Treatment
Garage Band
A group of musicians get together once a week to jam and play some of their favorite songs. The lead singer James writes a few songs and after a few small gigs they are noticed. The band experiences what people dream of doing. They are shot through the business as fast as possible opening for bands like velvet revolver. They get an agent who without much experience does well in getting them endorsements and eventually contracts for their first album. With all this happening so fast they get power hungry and each one wants to be the center of attention. The band backstabs each other till they can’t take it anymore and end up breaking up the band. This would be a film that needs multi camera shooting because when trying to do the concert scenes are quite difficult and it would be easier to run more than one camera to get the shots wanted in less time.

What Is Multi Camera Shooting?
Multi camera shooting is a way in which you can capture a broadcast, sporting event or live shooting. It allows you to get multiple views of the event. It allows you to view all angles so you can pick and choose to get the shot you are trying to portray. 4 cameras are what is generally used one will be straight on the whole thing the second and third will be on the main characters or the person talking or the main presenters (they are usually close ups). The forth can be a shot of the audience if there is one or something in the environment that may add to the shot. The 4 cameras are controlled by a switcher a board that allows you to go from camera to camera. They can also make transition effects and move other signals like tilters.
