## Caption

I made this reel to give y'all an idea of what goes on in my mind when I'm working live event videography... hopefully this helps:

Since I'm not doing the live production aspect of the event (If I were, I'd have to make virtually every moment I'm recording "useable."), I'm able to take more transition time and get more shot variety when I'm filming. I'm at liberty to try more things out, take bigger risks, and have more "fun" with my footage.

However, this DOESN'T mean I can move slow. At times, I may ONLY have one song or performance to get what I need. So, when I get the shot I need, I am ALREADY thinking of where I can move the camera next to get my next shot. Am I going to zoom in more? Zoom out more? Stand up to get different height, crouch for lower angles? This is all going through my head.

Thankfully, I knew the guy who was going to be editing this project, and I understand how he thinks/the type of footage he looks for. So, I was able to shoot for an edit that I had in mind. Basically, I already knew (somewhat) what the final product was going to look like, so I shot footage that I knew would look good in that video.

Having a basic understanding of angles, composition, and how to get "objectively good" shots is necessary for these events. I can't be thinking about the basics of composition while I'm filming.. I need to already know what opportunities sit in front of me, and quickly deduce the best-looking one to get, and combine that decision with the easiest to get, and find a happy medium where I'm getting shots are I can get quickly is rapid succession, AND get variety, AND might be somewhat unique shots altogether.

I hope this made sense 😂
