Preliminary Task- Camera Skills

What are the benefits of using a tripod and shooting multicamera?

A tripod has other features allowing the tripod to move up and down, or make a dutch tilt.

Multicamera provides a lot more options on set. It provides the possibility to film more than one angle at a time. This enhances the efficiency of filming on set. Also it gives the editor(s) more shots in post-ptoduction, leading to more options for the final production.
