Live, studio and Live studio
and I will need to explain practical reasons and aesthetic reasons.
Live
Sports Tennis Nadal vs Federer
Practical
Another thing is that the constraints of the location environment is this the size of the tennis courts for example at 3:07 the cameras allow you to see the size of the tennis court and this match is held in Melbourne and the size of the area is big so they would use cameras to try to cover the size of the tennis court.
Aesthetic
In this footage Communicating meaning to the viewer is done through fast editing because it a tennis match and the movement for this sport is fast and to get the audience at each time switching each cameras to the audience then to the athletes also they would have used various camera shot's such as mid shot, long shot, close up and a high angle shot. It helps the audience see everything that is happening. If the tennis player is laughing then it will show the audience reacting and finding it funny at 0:11 the athlete is focused because he wants to win so immediately the audience feels intense because they don't know who will win. Maintaining the viewers interest is done as you can see the facial expression of the audience for example at 10;03 you can see the facial expression of the member of the audience and his face is focused on the tennis match.
Concert
In this Micheal Jackson concert they specifically use Multi Camera because it can cover the action for example at 0:02 you can see the crowd and they are using various camera shots and it will try to cover the whole area for example at 3:53 you can see the area such as the artist, the audience and throughout the concert but if it was a single camera it would not be able to cover the action because the movement will be too fast and it will take time adjust the camera to the correct position because at each time the audience will miss out the action for example you will miss out on the audience and the artist. With Multi camera it allows the audience to cover other movements but within at the same time.In this Micheal Jackson concert they Multi Camera simultaneously recording coverage of action this means that they would have cameras at the same time filming the artist but then they will be another camera filming the audience.
Aesthetic
In this video communicating meaning to the viewer is that the cameras try to use combinations and try to create an identity for the artist whether it being facial expression or the outfit that they are wearing but in this video the clothes that his wearing is identified around him because this is what makes Micheal Jackson unique for example we see it at 0;15 he has another identity and it's his jack ups and this makes him unique because when his moving about on the stage the audience can see his jack ups.
Maintaining the viewers means that the camera try's to use different shot's to try to maintain the viewers interested in the concert such as close-ups mid-shots and other camera shot's.
Public event - Obama Speech
The reason why the footage uses multi camera is because it's a big event and they would want to cover the action for example at 25:33 you can see the size of the area and the audience and the president. They also use different cameras because if the audience miss out an action the other cameras would cover the footage but if it was a single camera it would only film half of the footage because the movement of the action would be too fast. With multi camera it allows you to catch the reaction of the audience and it lets the audience capture different angles of the president and it's focused in that specif element but with single camera the audience would have to do a lot of moving around because it would have been hard to film.
Multi-Camera simultaneously recording coverage of action this means that it try to cover all of the action and movement of the president because it's a big event and also well the camera would be focused on him from a range of angles but it will try to focus on the audience.
Aesthetic
In this video maintaining the viewers interest is when the camera wants to make the event exciting to watch and it will try to use various camera shots to make it look it interesting for example 2:35 it uses close- ups of Barack Obama to show that he had won the election and it influences you a lot and visual style and mode of address this is how the audience visualize the event such as how the shot's blend in with it but in this case it will be slow because at each time is switches but for this one it stays focus on Barack Obama 7:08 because his giving his speech.
Game shows = Total Wipeout: The Final
The reason why Multi Camera is used in Games is because they want simultaneous recording coverage of action for example at 2:35 it allows the camera to capture all the action at the same time this will mean that someone will have to film the presenter with the camera and another camera film the obstacle course and then another camera will film the athletes so all of these scenes will be captured at the same time but if it was single camera it would not cover the action because at each section you will have to film the contestant , presenter and the course this will take time to film because the movement will be quick to capture then all of the actions won't have a consistent flow
Aesthetic
In this game show maintaining the viewers interest is when the cameras try to use different camera shot's to try to make an identity around them and in different shot they may use close ups making the contestant funny for example at 7:13 the contestant is getting hit in the face by being punched but the audience will find it funny because of camera shot's makes it funny. The visual interest and mode of address is when the editing of the game show is for example at 15:27 it has the contestant but at each time it's cutting to the next segment of the course.
Chat shows The Graham Norton show
Practical
The reason why Multi Camera is used in Chat Show is because they want to simultaneous recording coverage of action at this allows them to capture all the action at the same time this will mean that someone will have to film the audience with the camera and another camera film the interviewer and then another camera will film the interviewees interviewed so all of these movements will be captured at the same time but if it was single camera it would not cover the action because at each section you will have to film the contestant , audience and the interviewees this will take time to film because the movement will be quick to capture then all of the actions won't have a consistent flow. If not it would just be one long shot which would be boring. By covering the action an example of this is at 0:15 you can see the whole area from the interviewers to the audience.
Aesthetic
In this video Communicating meaning to viewer means when you can see the audience engaged with the audience and you can see them laughing and you can tell that they are enjoying themselves and if they see the interviewer laughing then they will react and they will laugh to The visual style and mode of address is when the camera switches from person to person speaking for example at 1:02 you can see the the interviewees talking to each other and at each time it switches again at 1:04, so you can see the other cameras covering the action. Another example would be at 18:50 you can see the interviewers getting the audience involved.
Magazine shows-106 and park
Coverage of action
The reason why this video has Multi Camera is because they would want to catch the action and they want to cover the action because at 0.04 you can see the facial expressions of the audience and the interviewers for example one camera would not even catch a glimpse of the action because the movement would be too fast and it would take time to film for example it will go back and forth with the interviewer and the interviewees and you will have to move the single camera at each time but it was multi camera so if you missed a movement the other cameras would have it already covered.
Aesthetic
Artist by maintaining the viewers interest this means that there will be close ups for example at 0:59 to 1:27 the close ups are between the interviewer and interviewees and it's trying to try create an atmosphere and they also have a studio audience to make it seem that the show is interesting and by having the audience it could have a positive reflection on the artist and it can create an identity, so the show could be funny in different ways by using various camera shot's to make it interesting, by including a studio audience it can also make the program entertaining in some form of shape and it can represent who the artist are for example at 2:01 you can see the chains and hat of the so you can assume that his a rap artist.
Talent show - The Voice
Practical
Constraints of studio or location environment at 2:09 it looks like the talent show was hosted in an arena because it's the final and it's a big event and they need to use various cameras to film this talent show because it will try to see the reaction the artist and the audience.
Aesthetic
In this video the Communicating meaning to the viewer is when the multi camera is trying to create an identity for the artist for example at 0;37 showing the reaction of the artist, laughing being shocked or singing and this will make the audience want to laugh with them or the emotion will start to run in for example crying because of the way they are laughing or singing and the viewer will be influenced of what they see. Maintaining the viewers interest is when the Camera try's to use different type of camera shot's to make it seem like the audience is.
