Here are a few tips to help you better manage critters on set.<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-prepare-for-a-longer-shooting-schedule\"><span id=\"1-prepare-for-a-longer-shooting-schedule\">1. Prepare for a Longer Shooting Schedule<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Patience is widely stated as the most critical aspect of <strong>animal<\/strong> <strong>photography<\/strong>. Getting even the simplest of shots can take hours, so prepare your<strong> batteries<\/strong>, <strong>memory cards<\/strong>, and <strong>shooting schedule<\/strong> for a long day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-focus-on-the-eyes\"><span id=\"2-focus-on-the-eyes\">2.&nbsp;Focus on the Eyes<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-73510\" src=\"https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/cat-eyes.jpg\" alt=\"cat eyes\" width=\"755\" height=\"502\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/cat-eyes.jpg 755w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/cat-eyes.jpg?resize=300,199 300w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/cat-eyes.jpg?resize=277,184 277w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/cat-eyes.jpg?resize=359,239 359w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/cat-eyes.jpg?resize=543,361 543w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/cat-eyes.jpg?resize=560,372 560w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/cat-eyes.jpg?resize=150,100 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 755px) 100vw, 755px\" \/><br><em>Image via <a title=\"Shutterstock\" href=\"http:\/\/www.shutterstock.com\/pic-306051368\/stock-photo-big-beautiful-eyes-red-cat.html?src=tpmCK_OigocwdN0md5CvbA-1-3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">Shutterstock<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another&nbsp;important rule in <strong>animal<\/strong> <strong>photography<\/strong> or <strong>cinematography<\/strong> is to always <strong>set the focus on the subject&#8217;s eyes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This rule should never be broken if the animal&#8217;s face is visible in the shot. A high <a title=\"F-Stop\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/F-number\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">f-stop<\/a>&nbsp;lens can make this easier by providing a little wiggle room via <a title=\"Deep Focus\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Deep_focus\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">deep focus.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-start-simple\"><span id=\"3-start-simple\">3. Start Simple<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The best way to amass as much footage as possible is by<strong> starting with the easy shots<\/strong> before moving toward the more difficult, specific ones. Wider angles locked down on a tripod are more forgiving to the uncooperative nature of most animals. Once you have the basics locked down, you can move on to <strong>narrower&nbsp;lenses and more camera movement<\/strong> with your remaining time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-4-capture-movement\"><span id=\"4-capture-movement\">4.

For starters, you&#8217;ll usually want to shoot with a high shutter speed, as it will<strong> prevent excess motion blur<\/strong>. Beyond this, you can create the illusion of specific actions by splicing close-up shots of legs or a paw in between other footage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is an old technique, and it can easily look extremely cheesy and unrealistic, so <strong>err on the side of caution<\/strong> when applying it. You can also cheat certain effects by simulating a POV shot from the perspective of your subject animal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-5-keep-the-camera-rolling\"><span id=\"5-keep-the-camera-rolling\">5. Keep the&nbsp;Camera Rolling<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You never know when your subject animal might <strong>do something interesting or relevant<\/strong>, so it doesn&#8217;t hurt to keep recording as much as possible on the off chance that you&nbsp;accidentally catch the exact action&nbsp;you need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-6-keep-your-animals-happy-and-focused\"><span id=\"6-keep-your-animals-happy-and-focused\">6.

This will keep their energy level low and keep them still in front of the camera \u2014 especially helpful when there are multiple animals distracting each other. Also do your best to <strong>minimize their relocation<\/strong>. Any time you can, relocate the camera before relocating your animal(s). Having a professional trainer on set is obviously preferable, but it doesn&#8217;t hurt to know how to appease and work with pets yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-7-use-natural-light\"><span id=\"7-use-natural-light\">7.
