Useful Shooting Techniques

Using Pan at the Places of Interest

Tourists spots with beautiful scenery or historical sites are places that you would certainly want to record.

To capture the magnificence of a scene which cannot be fitted into a sin- gle frame, try the panning technique.

Refer to the "Shooting Tips" found in this website on how to use panning effectively.

In addition, you may also like to take a shot of the signs or monuments that can often be found at the tourist spots.

Scenarios with changes in body movement are suitable for taking videos. This includes situations where there are rapid changes in facial expres- sions or voices of surprise and delight.

*Some amusement parks do not allow passengers to perform any record- ing. Be sure to check beforehand.

[Examples]

Merry-go-round, go kart, coffee cup, etc.

Showing Everyone Having a Good Time

When taking a video, it is rather dull to shoot only the scenery or histori- cal sites.

Talk about your feelings while recording the breath-taking scenery of an attraction so that it will be an interesting scene to view later.
