Introduction<\/b><\/h2>\n

In this chapter you will learn how to film different kinds of stage performance and sports event.<\/p>\n

By ’stage performance‘ we mean any event or activity that happens mainly on a stage, from a theatre play to a lecture. ‚Sports events‘ include things like basketball games and football matches.<\/p>\n

You have to be very well\u00a0organised to film a stage performance or a sports game. You’ll also need good technical knowledge and experience. But these kinds of projects are also a great\u00a0opportunity to develop your filming skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

  • Get a good idea of the venue’s layout and where you want to place your equipment.<\/li>\n
  • Always double-check you’ve packed all the equipment you need for filming, lighting and recording sound. You can never be too careful!<\/li>\n
  • The main organiser and\/or the director should have a very good idea of what the final film product\u00a0should look like. They should also make sure everyone involved understands what the expected outcome is.<\/li>\n
  • Make sure everyone\u00a0knows what their\u00a0task is during\u00a0the shoot. The camera operators\u00a0in particular should be very clear on what they should be filming and how.<\/li>\n
  • Talk to the event organisers on the day (in addition to regularly discussing the shoot with them throughout the project), and clear up any\u00a0outstanding queries.<\/li>\n
  • Discuss technical issues with relevant staff at the venue \u2013\u00a0for example how to adjust the available\u00a0lights. Ask for\u00a0help if\u00a0necessary.<\/li>\n
  • Get in touch with the venue’s sound engineer, if there is one. Check if it’s possible for you to\u00a0get audio signal from the mixing desk.<\/li>\n
  • Think safety: don’t forget to cover cables with mats so that no one trips, to mount lights properly, and so on.<\/li>\n
  • Make sure\u00a0all camera settings (resolution, white balance, and so on) are adjusted\u00a0correctly.<\/li>\n
  • Make sure\u00a0all sound recording devices are working properly.<\/li>\n
  • Switch mobile phones off or change to flight mode to avoid signal interference.<\/li>\n
  • Use the clapperboard or clap your hands on camera so that you can synchronise all\u00a0film and audio material more easily at the\u00a0editing stage.<\/li>\n
  • Note down the names of all the people in the film. You may need these\u00a0for the titles.<\/li>\n
  • Film sectional images of the event.<\/li>\n
  • Before you leave the venue, check\u00a0all necessary filming permissions (the right to publish images of the people and venue in the film) are in place.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n

Filming a live event properly requires quite a lot of different types of equipment, including:<\/p>\n
