camera setup
How you're filming
Camera setup refers to the arrangement and configuration of a camera for shooting—including its position, angle, lens choice, and framing.
In film and video production, each distinct camera placement constitutes a separate setup: We shot twelve setups before lunch.
The term also covers the technical preparation of camera equipment: The camera setup took longer than expected because of the lighting conditions.
