Proposal

Multi Cam

Production - Fame

Concept: For this multi camera production of Fame we are planning on using 4 or 5 cameras, so that we can capture as much as we can.  Using different location for all the camera will help us get multiple angles of the production so that we can capture all the main characters and the emotion of the characters.  I would film the performance without an audience present, so we could film whilst the cast are doing a dress rehearsal so that then its minimizes any risks and then there will be more space for the cameras and all of the other equipment that is needed.  We can include a dolly track and a crane so that we can get other types of shots for the performance, the only problem that could occur is that the other cameras could end up getting the crane and dolly track, to resolve this the video mixer will have to notice when they are in shot and not switch to a specific camera when the crane or dolly track is in shot.  We will be using talking back systems so that the director can communicate with all the people on the cameras, people on the cameras will not be able to talk back because we will need to microphones to pick up the audio of the performance.  As well as the cameras picking up the audio we will use a H2 recorder for back up just in case there is anything wrong with the audio on the cameras.  SSR will also put audio and music on a USB for us to use when we are ready to edit so that it is all there right away.  The intention is for it to look like it is been edited fast pace so not to stay on the same camera for to long because it would then look boring to watch it fast paced it look more up beat and will be enjoyable to watch and keep the audience intrigued.  The lighting will be already set up by the lighting technician, so the cameras will have to be set up for the lighting that will be already in place.  Having a script to revise on will help us prepare which character is talking at which time and then we will be ready for it when that specific scene happens, watching a run through before hand would help so that we can watch it visually before we actually film the production.
