CAMERA TOOLS WHILE FILMING

Zoom:

Use the Zoom Wheel whereas filming to maintain your topic within the body and never too distant. When beginning to movie a rider, begin on which zoom setting will fill the body together with your rider with out being so zoomed in that will minimize off part of the rider with the sting of the video.

On iPhone fashions with Twin and Triple digital camera techniques, change between 0.5x, 1x, 2x, 2.5x, 3x, and 5x to shortly zoom in or out (relying in your mannequin). 

For a extra exact zoom OR zooming whereas filming, contact and maintain the zoom controls, then drag the slider proper or left.

The zoom slider takes somewhat observe and makes zooms extra fluid and simpler so that you can preserve the topic in body.

How shut ought to I be to my topic?

It is best to get as shut as you’re snug or capable of. Simply bear in mind, as a videographer on the mountain it’s 95% of the time your duty in case you or your digital camera will get hit by your topic or one other individual on the mountain, sure, even when they run into you. In case you are “Posting up” on a characteristic whereas your topic is lapping or mountaineering, keep out of all potential landings or take-offs. Even in case you don’t see it as a touchdown or take off, somebody may, so watch out!

In case you are follow-caming your topic, use .5x or 1x and attempt to maintain your arm as regular as potential with the digital camera pointing at your topic as you comply with them down their line. In case you are assured in driving nearer, use .5x, in case you assume chances are you’ll lose distance or wish to preserve somewhat extra distance, use 1x. Don’t follow-cam at additional than 20-25 ft out of your topic.

Ought to I take stationary movies or follow-cam movies?

This all will depend on your driving ability/multi-tasking whereas driving abilities. For those who really feel snug/protected to carry the digital camera whereas following a rider down with their 20 ft proximity and peek at your display screen each few or extra seconds, sure, you must follow-cam. This may even be for one characteristic and as you get observe in, it is possible for you to to movie longer traces with the rider.

In case you are not snug with follow-caming, OR if you’re getting a lot of content material all through the day. Get stationary footage. Stationary footage continues to be superb and is required. To get the very best stationary footage on hill there are particular positions that may assist the shot which we are going to get into subsequent.

The place ought to I stand subsequent to a characteristic?

You wish to be in the very best place to have the ability to see take-off, the characteristic, and touchdown. The touchdown is extra necessary than the take-off whenever you don’t have a alternative for each. If the rider is making an attempt the identical trick a number of instances on the identical characteristic, combine up the angles and get each highlights of the take off and touchdown, this makes for good cuts when modifying. 

When filming options in snowboarding, there are positions which can be higher for rails, jumps, carving & traces, and halfpipes, so let’s break every down actual fast:

Tip: When selecting your place, talk with the rider. You need their face in the direction of the digital camera as a lot as you may throughout a trick. In the event that they take off/land dealing with the identical course, be on the facet of the characteristic that they face within the take off and touchdown if potential. In case your angle focuses higher on the touchdown moderately than the take off, be on the facet that the rider will probably be dealing with within the lander and vise-versa if you’re focusing extra on the take off. When follow-camming a line of a number of tips, change up sides for what facet the rider will face on every characteristic for a extremely nice viewing expertise. 

Rails Positions:

Consider it like there’s a large rectangle across the rail. Attempt to stand within the corners of this rectangle whereas stationary capturing. Right here is an instance reference picture.

The corners on the take-off sides of the rectangle (1 and a couple of) will concentrate on the riders take off extra and the corners on the touchdown facet (3 and 4) will concentrate on the touchdown greater than the take-off.

On this instance the very best order of angles to decide on are 1,4,2,3. That is due to how the characteristic is lit up. Having the solar behind the digital camera will all the time gentle the topic the very best, this isn’t potential always, however as finest observe, do not need the solar behind your topic, this can create a silhouette, and whereas it may be artsy, it would cover a whole lot of the rider within the shot.

Talk together with your topic, working with them gives you the very best shot for each you and them. This can be needing to vary up a trick or your angle.

Bounce Positions:

Identical rectangle idea right here as with rails, however you may transfer additional away so long as your zoom permits, if capturing from additional distances, it is advisable to stay on the elevation of the rider or atleast the knuckle of the bounce, this may be on a side-hill or one other close by knuckle. That being mentioned, follow-cams will probably be finest, however second finest will probably be stationary photographs from the knuckle of the bounce. Right here is an instance reference picture.

Standing on the facet/fringe of the knuckle is your best option (3 and 4). It’s most secure and provides you the very best stationary angle for jumps.

Halfpipe Positions:

Observe-cams are tremendous cool within the halfpipe, however difficult to attain. When capturing halfpipe, you both ought to shoot stationary from the underside, or from the deck of the halfpipe. Here’s a reference picture

When filming from the deck of the halfpipe (3 and 4) you wish to place your self on both the place the rider goes to take off or going to land, talk with the rider and watch their heat ups to see the place they take off and land are key. When filming from the underside of the halfpipe, place your self simply inside being inline with one of many partitions, in an effort to nonetheless see each partitions, however are off heart (1 and a couple of).

Traces/Carving Positions:

Observe-cams and stationary capturing uphill on the rider are your only option for capturing carves and contours. Try to haven’t any distractions within the background, this may be different folks and even standout objects. Corduroy carves make for the very best content material and runs are empty within the early morning! If filming in potential avalanche circumstances, don’t movie from the underside, as a substitute backup from the underside or discover a excessive level on the slope to movie from.
