Step 3: Describe the similarities and/or differences between the camera systems used to produce these different kinds of media content.

The similarities between a lot of these camera is for the professionalism of camera use that they go for to use instead of buying so many. The Panvavisions are so elite that mostly you have to rent them out because they are IMAX material. The walking dead in the Lizzie McGuire movie uses the Panavision cameras and lenses creating a very professional and elite flagship camera. I have noticed a lot of movies and higher and TV shows are using these cameras because they are so good and are very universal. I have noticed that the Panavision lenses in cameras are very popular and it is cool to know that a lot of companies in the film crew are using them.

The differences in that I noticed are the amount of lenses that there are. I didn't realize how many different lines is there are cat movies and TV shows will use depending on the genre. The documentary didn't have to use as many cameras and lenses because it was mainly an interview style of documentary. Each of the media contents have their own specific style to camera systems and all the of the different style and brands of lenses that they use even down to the resolution has the style and the money they can afford.
