- Number One Rule: get there early and stay late. you never know whats going to happen, and to have a sense of space and waiting to make sure you have the moment you need before you leave is key.
I realize how important this is because a lot of times people are in a rush to get in and out as fast as possible, but that’s not how you get a good shot, its how other people end up with better shots than you.
- Think about where subjects are and where they need to go. Its like you’re storyboarding in your head
Planning what you are going to do saves time, and allows you to get as many workable shots as possible
- Always trying to show wide angle, tight, closeup, expressions. Show the whole context of the story.
Doing this allows you to show a more personal side of the story with expressions and emotions rather than just wide overall shots.
- Understanding of light sources and how to manipulate them. Don’t use on camera flash, its a mood killer.
Your shutter will control the ambiant light and your appature will control artifical light
if you’re shooting during the day, what is your key light. usually sun.
- rule of thirds: try to split of frame into 3’s instead of putting subject dead center
