UNIT 22/23 Questions

Tennis Questions.

How many cameras do you think have been used?
After watching this video many times and going over and analysing the camera's i think that there is 5 or 6 different cameras being used throughout the 8 minutes, they change the shots many times throughout the whole clip, I would estimate around 60-80 transitions between the different cameras.

Explain the type of shots used to cover the match? 

They used many shots during the match such as close ups when point was gained by one of the tennis players or when they are hitting the ball back and forth they go for a wider shot to show both of the players and the tennis court to show what is happening.   

2. Why do you think they would need to use a multi camera set up at a tennis match? 

I feel they use many different cameras because they want to show all the action of what is happening, for example they show close ups to capture the action more closely but also to show the expressions of the players and get the audience to understand the players more when they win or score a point. Adding to this i noticed that they used a slow pan shot as the nearest player was moving into different positions on his side of the course.

3. How effective do you think this is for the audience?

I feel it is very effective for the audience because it shows them more than just a match but it also shows the emotions of the game and also it makes the audience fell more involved with it for example when they do the slow pan shot it makes you feel like you're in the audience moving with the players as they go back and forth.
