Multi-camera directors plan camera positions and shots during pre-production and lead the production team during filming. They are responsible for personnel like floor managers, camera operators, and sound technicians. Multi-camera shoots are used for live events like sports, news, talk shows, and sitcoms where scenes cannot be re-shot. Directors need patience, enthusiasm, strong communication skills, and the ability to envision shots from a distance in the control gallery. Most directors receive training in film school before gaining experience in the television industry.

- 2. WHAT THEY DO During pre-production the multi camera director will plan camera positions and shots. During the shoot the director leads the team and is in charge of the personnel on the studio floor and in the gallery. This includes the floor managers, camera and sound teams, production assistant and vision mixer.
- 3. WHEN THEY ARE USED Multi-camera shoots are commonly used for sports and news programmes, soap operas, talk shows, game shows, some sitcoms and live events where action cannot be repeated or replicated. These may be studio or location based.
- 4. SKILLS YOU MAY NEED The main requirements for a multi-camera director are patience, enthusiasm and good spatial awareness. The director is often sitting in a gallery a long way from the cameras, so must be able to envisage how each camera is positioned in relation to others, and what shots each is able to get. Good communication skills are also crucial. The team in the studio can only hear the director’s voice over talkback. So the director must be able to communicate quickly and clearly what is needed, while also encouraging all of them to work together as a team.
