Ah, high school football season in the south. Time to change my schedule and clear my Friday nights. This year, though, we want to try some video. Specifically, we want to create a video preview for the upcoming week. So we decided to use a scrimmage between two leading teams to grab the necessary video. So here are a few lessons learned from the venture.
....To give it more of a preview feel, focus on a handful of players from both teams.
This will make it a little easier to shoot.
....Start off shooting from behind the line of scrimmage. If you haven't shot much football, it's easier to initially follow the action."Start off shooting tight on the quarterback and zoom out as the play progresses" was the advice I got. It seems to work pretty well.
....Don't bother with the tripod. Too dangerous for both you and the players.
....Plan for the unexpected. Make sure to shoot every punt and punt return. The one you don't shoot will be the one that is blocked or run back for a touchdown.
