100% Newbie Second Question - How many Cameras?

[firsttimefilm]

I posted my first question today about lighting and got a TON of great feedback. Thanks to everyone who helped me from earlier.

I saved up and bought a pretty nice, professional camera. I know I need another one, at the bare minimum for a second shot while recording. I will be shooting a kids video in a 30 Ft Wide x 20 Ft Deep room.

I need to purchase a second camera, but will 2 cameras be enough for different angles while recording? Do I need a third?

Thanks in Advance again,

Newbie

What are the kids doing? Are they performing for your video or are you documenting a staged performance?

For the last 100 years or so 1 camera has often been enough. TV studios typically use 3 or 4. An NFL game can easily use 50 or more. What are the kids doing?
