CAMERA TOOLS WHILE FILMING
Zoom:
Use the Zoom Wheel whereas filming to maintain your topic within the body and never too far-off. When beginning to movie a rider, begin on which zoom setting will fill the body along with your rider with out being so zoomed in that might lower off part of the rider with the sting of the video.
On iPhone fashions with Twin and Triple digicam programs, swap between 0.5x, 1x, 2x, 2.5x, 3x, and 5x to rapidly 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 slightly observe and makes zooms extra fluid and simpler so that you can maintain 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 in a position to. Simply bear in mind, as a videographer on the mountain it’s 95% of the time your duty if you happen to or your digicam will get hit by your topic or one other individual on the mountain, sure, even when they run into you. If you’re “Posting up” on a characteristic whereas your topic is lapping or climbing, keep out of all doable landings or take-offs. Even if you happen to don’t see it as a touchdown or take off, somebody may, so watch out!
If you’re follow-caming your topic, use .5x or 1x and attempt to maintain your arm as regular as doable with the digicam pointing at your topic as you observe them down their line. If you’re assured in driving nearer, use .5x, if you happen to suppose it’s possible you’ll lose distance or wish to maintain slightly 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 is determined by your driving talent/multi-tasking whereas driving abilities. For those who really feel snug/protected to carry the digicam whereas following a rider down with their 20 ft proximity and peek at your display each few or extra seconds, sure, you must follow-cam. This could even be for one characteristic and as you get observe in, it is possible for you to to movie longer strains with the rider.
If you’re not snug with follow-caming, OR if you’re getting a number of content material all through the day. Get stationary footage. Stationary footage remains to be superb and is required. To get the perfect 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 perfect place to have the ability to see take-off, the characteristic, and touchdown. The touchdown is extra vital than the take-off once you don’t have a selection for each. If the rider is attempting 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 are higher for rails, jumps, carving & strains, 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 digicam as a lot as you may throughout a trick. In the event that they take off/land dealing with the identical route, be on the facet of the characteristic that they face within the take off and touchdown if doable. 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 methods, swap 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 taking pictures. Right here is an instance reference picture.
The corners on the take-off sides of the rectangle (1 and a couple of) will deal with the riders take off extra and the corners on the touchdown facet (3 and 4) will deal with the touchdown greater than the take-off.
On this instance the perfect 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 digicam will at all times gentle the topic the perfect, this isn’t doable always, however as greatest observe, shouldn’t have the solar behind your topic, it will create a silhouette, and whereas it may be artsy, it would disguise a variety of the rider within the shot.
Talk along with your topic, working with them provides you with the perfect shot for each you and them. This can be needing to vary up a trick or your angle.
Soar Positions:
Similar rectangle idea right here as with rails, however you may transfer additional away so long as your zoom permits, if taking pictures from additional distances, it’s essential to stay on the elevation of the rider or atleast the knuckle of the leap, this may be on a side-hill or one other close by knuckle. That being mentioned, follow-cams will probably be greatest, however second greatest will probably be stationary pictures from the knuckle of the leap. Right here is an instance reference picture.
Standing on the facet/fringe of the knuckle is your most suitable option (3 and 4). It’s most secure and offers you the perfect stationary angle for jumps.
Halfpipe Positions:
Comply with-cams are tremendous cool within the halfpipe, however difficult to realize. When taking pictures 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, to be able to nonetheless see each partitions, however are off middle (1 and a couple of).
Traces/Carving Positions:
Comply with-cams and stationary taking pictures uphill on the rider are your best choice for taking pictures carves and features. Try to haven’t any distractions within the background, this may be different folks and even standout objects. Corduroy carves make for the perfect content material and runs are empty within the early morning! If filming in potential avalanche situations, don’t movie from the underside, as a substitute backup from the underside or discover a excessive level on the slope to movie from.
