a filming technique that uses only one camera to capture footage, creating a more cinematic look and feel often used in television shows and movies

A single camera setup is a filmmaking approach where only one camera is used to capture all the footage for a scene. This method involves shooting each angle or take sequentially, often requiring multiple setups to cover different perspectives. Single camera setups are commonly used in television dramas, films, and certain types of commercials. This technique allows for greater control over each shot's composition and lighting, enabling more detailed and creative storytelling, though it can be more time-consuming compared to using multiple cameras simultaneously.
