Secondary Research:

A multi-camera show is a show which is normally filmed live, removing the ability to cut to different shots and meaning everything has to be done in one take, this means a director or floor manager needs the ability to cut to different cameras within seconds whilst also rehearsing constantly on the build up to the show. If mistakes are made, these cannot be edited out, adding pressure to the people on the people starring in the show. Most Multi-camera shows also have a live studio audience.
