When filming with a camera it is a much better idea to have a tripod and two cameras instead of just one. One of the biggest justifications for using a tripod is that it stops the shaking of the camera that would be experienced form a hand held shot. This makes the shot and framing much easier to position and much clearer to view. It is also easier to use different camera techniques using a tripod such as panning, tilting and craning which wouldn't look as good with a hand held camera. However, features such as tracking and zooming can be much more effective when performed hand held and done correctly. These different techniques will improve the creation of my productions.
Multi-camera shooting makes it easier when editing your film so that everything that is acted is filmed from different angles at the same time with no continuity errors. This allows the footage to be in chronological order and not have things different in the shot such as hair position, actor position or object positions. Having the different angles available also gives a better effect to shots such as a two shots as you are able to film two over the shoulder shots of each actor while also having the two wide shot of their conversation.
