ABSTRACT

When you watch a stage play, a music concert, or a sports event in an actual public theatre, club, or stadium, you generally only get to observe the actions of the performers from one static viewpoint – your seat. If any of these events were recorded and broadcast on television, the person watching at home, although missing out on the thrill of being at the live event, will benefi t from having a more “intimate” viewing experience thanks to the event’s coverage by multiple cameras of varying positions and lens focal lengths. The person at home “sees” more views and details than the person at the actual event.
