c) What is multi camera production
d) How does multi-camera differ to single camera productions?
Multi-camera productions are used more often in larger productions, such as theatrical films and higher budget Television shows. Single camera productions are more often used in lower budget productions, however, a scene shot with a single camera and good cinematography may be viewed as more aesthetically shot. Single camera productions are more associated with 'Indie' (independent) productions.

e) What is the definition of genre? Why is this important for audiences?
A style/ category of a piece of media
Genres are important for audiences as they help viewers understand what type of content is in the show/film. For example, if a family wish to watch something comedic and family-friendly, they will know what type of films to choose and stay away from other genres such as thrillers or horrors.
