Genres & Reasons

Live Sports-UFC

Aesthetic

This video look visually pleasing for a number of reasons mainly because the cameras capture a range of interesting shots for example at 0.58 you can see the audiences reactions which gives you a taste of the atmosphere around the area. We can also see at 1:02 there is a shot where it is zoomed out and you can see the ring and the audience which gives the viewers a nice setting to look at. It also shows you how big the event is because we can just about see the whole audience in the shot. From 1:11 and 1:30 the camera follows both of  the participants and they do a little signature move which gives the audience an understanding of the fighters style. From 2:36 on the camera focuses on the fighters when they are battling on the ground which makes it exciting when watching.The visual style in this video is quite aggressive as we can see that the two men fighting which creates an exciting but serious atmosphere as the two men are physically hurting each other. The video maintains the viewers interest by including action packed unexpected movements which will capture the audiences attention straight away as we can see at 2:35 as he tackles his opponent down to the ground you can really fell the impact in he shot that was captured.

Practical

It is better to use multi-camera for this live event because the cameras are able to cover all of the action going on in and outside of the ring  which gives the viewers full advantage of seeing every single detail. At 2:36 if there were only one camera trying to cover the shot it is most likely that you will not see the action going on because you are only seeing what is going on from one side and that is why it is good to use multi camera because the camera can be planted at a range of locations to ensure every shoot is captured. 

Concerts- Jay-Z

Aesthetic

Live concerts allow the audience to become engaged with the artist as they have some sort of connection because it is live for example at 0:41 to 0:45 you can see the artist doing a hand movement. You can then see the audience copying the hand movement in sync. This shows how the audience can be influenced by the artist. At 1:37 there is a side shot of the artist through out the concert there are different shot types which makes it more effective for the viewers. At the very start of the video 0:0 the scene is set in a big arena which lets the viewers share the feeling of how huge this even is we can also see this at 0:23 when the artist is coming up form the ground. This shot is really effective because it signifies the amount of people that came to watch the performance. The visual style of this video creates a ecstatic surrounding as we can see a lot of people in the audience jumping up and down at 1:57  the video maintains the viewers interest by showing that the artist is enjoying performing at 3:20 we see the artist with a smile on his face.

Practical

This live concert is better shot with multi camera because the artist is singing live to the audience so there wouldn't be any point filming with single shots as it would not flow. The atmosphere would not be the same because you would have to keep cutting a lot which would break up the live effect.If there were only one camera it would be difficult to understand what is going on so that is why we need to use multi camera to cover every important part.The coverage of action in this video is live on stage

Public Events-Olympics

Aesthetic

Multi camera makes public events look much more intriguing because the camera is able to swoop around and capture the whole event. For example in the Olympics they use a wide range of cameras to follow the action where bikes and cars are  included to record the action. The visual style of this video is really competitive which makes the atmosphere of the video exciting. At 3:22 there is a shot of all the athletes just before the start which creates excitement because the audience knows that it is going to start any second. The video  maintains the viewers interest by following every step of the winner of the race which can be seen at 4:03 by following the winner it gives the audience a taste of how the winner of the race is feeling this would capture the audiences attention and make them have their own opinions of what they think about the winning athlete.
This video communicates that it is an exciting but serious competition as we can see all the athletes looking serious at the start and the after the race was finished the winner was celebrating sharing the excitement with other people around them 

Practical

Multi camera is the best option for a live event because it is easier to cover all the action that is going on because there are about more than 5 cameras from the 1-3 there are a range of different shots that came from more than 3 cameras this makes it easier to capture every detail that is going on in the event. Multi camera is also needed to cover the size of the constricted  area which is effective because the camera can have access to all locations on the site which allows the cameras to cut from event to event but still have all of the footage covered for example at  4:18 you can see how the two cameras go from one location to another which allows the audience to catch up on anything that happened previously.
By simultaneous recording  the public even it ensures that nothing will be missed especially if something unexpected happened for example one of the athletes dropping the camera will then be focused on that athlete. 1:46 we can see an important part of the race being recorded again which refreshes the audience memory just in case they missed it which reassures them when they see it because they know they have not missed anything

Game Shows

Aesthetic

 Game shows are filmed in small studios to create a focused atmosphere which maintains the viewers interest by focusing the main action with in the show. The game show is focused on a small stage keeping everything squashed up but there is still an audience watching which shares the atmosphere with viewers. We can see how small the stage is at 0:25. The visual style of this video is exciting  which keeps the audience tuned in. The reactions we revive from the people on stage also keeps the audience and viewers entertained  The meaning to the viewers is communicated by adding exciting little challenges in. This also keeps the audience entertained which can be seen at 0:36

Practical

By doing this it also engages the audience because there is always something spontaneous with in the show. The audience instantly can tell what the visual style is right from the moment the video starts. The first 20 seconds of the video shows you how serious the situation is. The video maintains the viewers attention by creating a load of drama and unexpected actions for example at 1:58 there are members of the audience shouting at the woman which we wouldn't expect. The meaning of this video is shown by continuous arguing and then the host having to sort it out at the end as we can see at 5:10  

Practical

The coverage of action in this video is live as we can see at 1:04 it needed to be recorded like this to make sure all the real feelings were getting caught on camera The constraints of this video is that they could be filming the wrong people at the wrong times making it confusing to the viewers when watching.By simultaneously recording it would be effective to capture parts like 3:55 and 3:59  as both parts are still getting recorded live but two different things are going on in two different places allowing the audience to keep up with both parts of the video without getting lost.This could not be filmed with a single camera as there will be many important shots that will be missed out on however if multi camera is used all the shots will be caught in action as they cannot be re-done. From using multi camera it captures peoples instant reactions this is shown at 1:52
