In this production style, each of the various shots and camera angles are taken using the same camera, or multiple cameras pointed in one direction, which are moved and reset to get each shot or new angle. Single-camera is mostly reserved for prime time dramas, made-for-TV movies, documentaries, music videos and commercial advertisements. Apart from giving the shows a feature film style, this allows the series to present fast-paced and tightly edited fight and action sequences. Unlike single-camera sitcoms of the past, nearly all contemporary comedies shot in this manner are produced without a laugh track.
