Tips on filming football match
Tomorrrow I’m filming my first ever derby (it’s gonna end up being a YouTube video) and I’m looking for advice.
I have Sony a7iv, 4K, slog3, shinobi monitor and then I have a 24-70mm and a 70-200mm. Rocking side handle and top handle. But especially the lens is hard for me to choose. The 70-200 is of course harder to stabilize.
I don’t know if I’ll be allowed to choose where I can film from or I get a certain spot (I have accredited media)
I don’t have a tripod or monopod with me.
Looking for advices to get the best possible footage. Best place to be?
What lens?
AF + tracking or MF?
Sitting down, laying down?
Good tips to be in a stadium where there is a chance that the fans are absolutely crazy (safety wise)
