2
00:00:08,921 --> 00:00:13,278
Consider filming with a trusted partner who can watch your back as you film

3
00:00:13,492 --> 00:00:15,579
guide you if you need to move while filming

4
00:00:15,779 --> 00:00:17,853
help you stay aware of your surroundings

5
00:00:18,145 --> 00:00:21,408
and alert you to opportunities for different and more important shots.

6
00:00:22,193 --> 00:00:25,936
Also, filming as part of a team can have its advantages.

7
00:00:26,305 --> 00:00:30,265
If it is safe, work in a team and determine roles before filming.

8
00:00:30,650 --> 00:00:33,737
For example, in a team of three filmmakers

9
00:00:33,861 --> 00:00:38,014
one person can film at a distance to capture the context

10
00:00:38,368 --> 00:00:43,652
another can film different angles of the event and get closer to the action for detailed shots

11
00:00:44,497 --> 00:00:49,477
while the third could conduct interviews to help explain what is happening.

12
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:51,471
In a high risk situation

13
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:56,984
team communication can help you coordinate your shots, protect each other, and your footage.

14
00:00:57,289 --> 00:00:59,906
Always carry multiple tapes or memory cards.

15
00:01:00,183 --> 00:01:07,693
If you shoot something important, remove the card or tape, and pass it off to someone that you trust will keep the footage safe.

16
00:01:08,647 --> 00:01:14,469
Be sure everyone knows their roles, and is aware of all potential risks in advance.

17
00:01:14,777 --> 00:01:16,193
REMEMBER

18
00:01:16,639 --> 00:01:26,259
Film with a trusted partner
Determine roles and film as a team
Evaluate risks and develop a plan before filming

19
00:01:27,428 --> 00:01:33,998
