locked-off camera

[ebrahim]

Hello,

I wonder if anyone could tell that what 'locked off camera' means. Does it mean 'fixed camera' or something?

"Certainly some films—and some quite unexpected ones— are deeply classical in character: the locked-off camera and classical découpage of Ridley Scott’s Kingdom of Heaven is a prime example, from a fi lmmaker whose Gladiator otherwise fi ts many of Ndalianis’ observations very closely"

A locked-off camera is a stationary camera that is set up to capture a specific part of the scene and is usually unmanned. "Fixed camera" is a good description.
