Consider filming with a trusted partner who can watch your back as you film

help you stay aware of your surroundings

0:00:18.145,0:00:21.408
and alert you to opportunities for different and more important shots.

Also, filming as part of a team can have its advantages.

0:00:26.305,0:00:30.265
If it is safe, work in a team and determine roles before filming.

For example, in a team of three filmmakers

0:00:33.861,0:00:38.014
one person can film at a distance to capture the context

0:00:38.368,0:00:43.652
another can film different angles of the event and get closer to the action for detailed shots

0:00:44.497,0:00:49.477
while the third could conduct interviews to help explain what is happening.

In a high risk situation

0:00:51.640,0:00:56.984
team communication can help you coordinate your shots, protect each other, and your footage.

0:00:57.289,0:00:59.906
Always carry multiple tapes or memory cards.

0:01:00.183,0:01:07.693
If you shoot something important, remove the card or tape, and pass it off to someone that you trust will keep the footage safe.

0:01:08.647,0:01:14.469
Be sure everyone knows their roles, and is aware of all potential risks in advance.
