With an action camera, taking cool action shots while performing stunts has never been easier. Because you can mount it anywhere, even on yourself, you are able to shoot photographs and videos you weren't able to before. If you have recently bought an action cam and you're wondering how you can take footages like the ones posted by extreme sports enthusiasts on YouTube and other video sharing sites on the Internet, here are a few tips you should check out.
1. Take note of the direction of the sun
Before you aim your camera and shoot, always consider the direction of the sun if you want to take videos with great lighting effects. For instance, if you love the classic sunburst shot, aim the camera back at you with the sun behind you. With a 30 photo burst and if you get in the right position, you're very likely to get a perfect frame where the sun is just peaking out from behind your body.
2. Consider the location of your camera
You should also consider where you want your sports action cam to be in the shot. For instance, if you want take a picture or footage of you making a jump while skiing or skateboarding, decide whether you want the camera to be in front of you, behind you, above you, or below you before you get up in the air. This way, you can focus on nailing your stunt instead of making last-minute decisions about the angle or set-up of your camera.
3. Determine your facial expression or body position
This may sound silly, but if you want to take photos or videos of you looking badass while making a stunt, decide early on how you'd want your facial expression and/or body position would be. Do you want to be simply standing upright, flashing the peace sign, or sporting a huge smile on your face? Like what was mentioned in tip No 2, deciding on such little details in advance will help you focus on completing the stunt.
Use Your Action Camera as a Dash Cam
If you want to showcase your driving skills, you can use your action cam in lieu of a dash camera. Because action cameras are built for fast-paced and moving action shots, this will help you take cool footages of the driving stunts you can make.
However, do take note that an action cam is not to be used as a regular dash cam. It doesn't have the same features that most dash cameras have, such as the G-sensor or automatically protecting saved footages. It's still best to buy a separate dash cam for your car.
Be sure to follow the tips above to take awesome shots while performing stunts or aerial tricks.
