How to shoot a professional multi-camera to look good?

In the past, the photography of TV programs was mostly taken by machines, and both directors and photographers organized image elements and arranged scenes from one angle. Although this can make the picture elaborate and the lighting layout meticulous and rigorous. However, in single-shot shooting, each scene has to be performed in different shots to meet the needs of every different angle and scene, so it is difficult for actors to maintain a coherent and smooth mood during the performance. The main reason for this working mode is the dependence on technical equipment. For a long time, the working mode of single lens and single angle has formed a fixed picture thinking mode and a specific production process. The knowledge of editing, performance and light consumption used before is summarized according to the single camera and single angle shooting mode. However, with the progress of technology and the improvement of equipment conditions, the adaptability of sound and light is enhanced, especially the technical characteristics of TV itself, which has given a great impact to the old production methods.

From the beginning, TV was characterized by multi-camera shooting and live editing. For example, in the early days of China, most TV programs were broadcast indoors, on stage, and on live sports. All of them are shot by multiple cameras and multiple angles at the same time, and directly meet the audience through the on-site assembly of the editing machine. This perfect technical means has undoubtedly brought revolution to the mode of production. The change of artistic technique produced by this technical means will have a thorough impact on the thinking mode of film and television production in the past. First of all, multiple cameras should have an overall graphic design, and there should be a clear division of labor in shooting content and scenery, so as not to miss the main plot content. The director can also adjust the machine on the spot, command and dispatch the camera, and get the ideal picture. This kind of TV director really needs the quality of music director to master the rhythm of the whole audience, which is a very attractive shooting method.
