General Tips
- Think through the various angles you will need prior to arriving to your location.
- Always record at least 30 seconds of the space you are in without intervening.
- Prior to recording, listen carefully. If you hear a sound you don't want and you can turn if off or avoid it, do so. It's easier to do this now than when you are editing.
- Make sure to White Balance every time you enter a new environment.
- Consider checking out a Lighting Kit and/or Reflector if you know you will be shooting in a low light environment.
- Consider recording audio on the Audio Recording Kit and/or Lav Mic Kit for interviews, or for overall better quality audio.
- Consider using a Tripod or stabilizing shots, especially for slow motion and time lapse.
