multicamera
Multiple recording devices
Multicamera describes a production technique using multiple cameras filming simultaneously from different angles.
The approach dominates sitcoms and talk shows, where editors cut between camera feeds in real time or post-production: a multicamera sitcom shot before a live audience.
The term often distinguishes traditional studio comedies from single-camera shows with more cinematic style.
