Advantages And Disadvantages Of Film Production

In this essay I will be examining different types of studio productions, looking at the history and their functions. Is will talk about different types of shows which use the multicam setup in order to maintain a cheaper production. I will also be looking at the cost effectiveness of multi camera productions over the more traditional single camera productions.

I will show how a Television studio production is more cost effective than traditional single camera productions throughout filming and post production.
