Camera skills

Tripods can be useful in many ways, for example the can steady shots give great pans and tilts smoothly. By keeping the camera still the tripod is the best advantage to a film maker to get a perfect shot that looks professional. Although they are a bit bulky to carry around they are god to use on location where the grounds isn't to smooth because the legs can be structured in a way that can still give a good look on a scene.

Using more than one camera increases the amount of shots and angles in one scene, in everyday television the most common place you will see more than one camera being used would be television shows such as Daybreak. this is because its more of a chat show so the more cameras they have they can see a lot more of the presenters reactions and movements on set. As well its more convenient to use more than one camera because instead of having one which has to be constantly moved, you can use the other cameras and keep them still and only move them when you change scene. Also If one shot looks bad in a camera then by using other cameras in different places you can see what angle looked best on which camera in what place.

Taking 2 camera's on set really helped me film because i could do multiple shots of one scene and could decide later which one looked better, also it speed up the filming process.
