Television Style, table 5.3 "Multiple-camera and Single-camera Schemas," full table.
Table 5.3: Cinematography.
Table 5.3: Mise-en-Scene and Editing.

- Group 4: sound and "miscellaneous"
- How many of those single-camera elements do you see in The Mindy Project scene? Each group will account for one or two groups of elements (click a thumbnail above to enlarge it):
- All groups: Table 5.6 from the essay outlines a "televisual continuum"--ranging from very televisual (The Simpsons) to not televisual at all (school-play recordings).
