Check the competitions you will be participating in and the positions you will be shooting

It is important to check the sports day program that will be distributed in advance to confirm the order and position of the competitions in which your child will participate. In some cases, the position where you can shoot is determined, so it is a good idea to check in advance.

Check out digital video and peripherals

In addition to small stepladders, tripods, and other useful goods for video shooting, we must not forget the spare battery. In order to take a good photo at an athletic event, there is a lot of time that you have to wait in a standby state. To make sure you don't miss the finale scene, a spare battery is a must.

Shoot an easy-to-understand prologue

When you look at the video you shot later, you will look like a professional if the scenery is captured on the morning of the sports day. First, we take pictures of the program and calendar to indicate that it is the day of the sports day, and then we take pictures of the morning scenery, such as the preparation of lunch boxes and the children going to school.

In addition, when you arrive at the venue, take a picture of the sports day sign for an easy-to-understand prologue.

Filming of the competition "Race of the Horse"

In the race, a single point near the finish line is designated as a shooting location, and the body is twisted from the starting position to the finish line while shooting. To prepare, stand straight with your legs open towards the goal shooting position, twist your body to face the starting position. Since you will return to the most stable body position while shooting, you will be able to shoot at the finish line.

Filming of competitions "acting"

In performances such as dance and team gymnastics, it is important to check the position in which your child will perform. You can take beautiful pictures by fixing the camera in a position where you can see your child in a slightly wider and wider, and using a zoom or other means.

When moving the camera according to the child's movements, it is important to anticipate the movement and move it without blurring.

Shooting Goals

In between filming competitions, you can see how happy the children are when the scores are announced, and if you take regular photos of the score card, you can convey the feeling of an athletic day. It is recommended to take pictures of cheering battles in short spots of 5~10 seconds so that you can record the excitement.

Shooting an epilogue

After the sports day, you can make a memorable video by filming your child returning home or interviewing them about their impressions of the sports day. If you take a long shot, your tired child will be even more tired, so try to shoot in a spot of about 10 to 20 seconds.

If you don't want to fail, such as a nursery school sports day, please ask Stone Flower, which also works on YouTube videos.
