How many close-ups of the tablecloth are necessary? There\u2019s a lot going on \u2014 and only one of you to capture it all.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re gearing up for a shoot, and this is stressing you out, have no fear: I\u2019ve created a go-to guide that can help you capture all the coverage you need to make a solid edit.<\/p>\n<p>Keep in mind that amount of action per event will really\u00a0determine how much\u00a0you shoot. If it\u2019s a pretty active event, you might want to repeat the shot list every 15 to 40 minutes. If it\u2019s a basic event and things are slow, I recommend filming per location or every few hours. That being said, use your judgment and try to gauge the fluctuation of how things are flowing.<\/p>\n<p>Every shoot is different. The big thing you want to capture is the feeling of the event. Ask yourself <em>How does it feel? What is energy? What looks interesting and unique?<\/em><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 id=\"wide-establishing-shots\">Wide\/ Establishing Shots<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Event-Footage.Establish.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-97565 size-full\" title=\"Capture Live Events Like a Pro with These Simple Rules \u2014 Wide Shots\" src=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Event-Footage.Establish.jpg\" alt=\"Capture Live Events Like a Pro with These Simple Rules \u2014 Wide Shots\" width=\"755\" height=\"323\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Event-Footage.Establish.jpg 755w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Event-Footage.Establish.jpg?resize=300,128 300w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Event-Footage.Establish.jpg?resize=277,119 277w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Event-Footage.Establish.jpg?resize=359,154 359w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Event-Footage.Establish.jpg?resize=543,232 543w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Event-Footage.Establish.jpg?resize=560,240 560w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Event-Footage.Establish.jpg?resize=150,64 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 755px) 100vw, 755px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>These are great for entering and exiting a scene.

Details are essential\u00a0for making a great event or recap video. You want to film the small details that the organizers fought so hard to bring together. I usually gather 15 per scene, setup, or location.<\/p>\n<p>For each of these\u00a0categories, be sure to capture the right moment before moving on to the next shot. There&#8217;s no point in gathering all of this coverage if none of it works in the edit.<\/p>\n<p>The main thing is to follow your gut and use this guide as an outline. All shoots are different, and so is the coverage you\u2019ll\u00a0get. This method has helped me immensely, and now I just\u00a0rely on it as a rule of thumb when filming any sort of event or recap video.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Looking for more filmmaking tutorials?
