SINGLE CAMERA: ADVANTAGES Single Camera productions are movies or any motion picture filmed by only one camera where all the shots taken are edited to seem like a fluent continuous scene.

Representation Timeline - Female in Media and Film → 2000 - Charlie's Angles In 2000, the movie Charlie's Angels with a predominant female cast was previewed in cinemas and swiftly became a essential symbol of Girl Power.
