Multi-Cam Production Terms

Multi-Cam Production was the basis on what our Live TV recording was going to be about. Some of the terms which are involved in Multi-cam are

• Panning and Tilting- This is turning the camera left and right and up and down.
• Crabbing- Crabbing is moving the camera left and right to give a sense of movement and sense that the program is going somewhere.
• Roll DVD, DV ready- This is all to do with the DVD, this is the director asking the DVD operations if the VT is ready to be played. The DVD operations responds by saying DV ready.
• Floor ready- this is directed to the floor to ask them if all people on the studio floor are ready to perform or do there jobs.
• PED- This is used to tell a camera to change the angle of their shot so have a high angle shot or a low one.
• Tracking- This is one of the most important shots as this will follow the action.

There is not just production terms in the recording there is some used in making the set.

• This is technically not a production term this is more a noticifiction but it is crucial to make sure that the misc-en-scene is correct. When making the set it is difficult to choose the correct colours as some colours show up better on screen than others. On colour which works especially well is blue. We used this colour in our final recording.
