Promotion video of the international soccer match “Shonan Bellmare vs Atletico Paranaense” held in Kanagawa Prefecture on August 8, 2019. ARAI is in charge of OP animation and motion graphics of telop. In this promotion, we interviewed Shonan Bellmare, shot practice scenes, and shot games. This was my first time shooting a professional soccer game, and I learned a lot from the shooting of match videos.
In many cases, it is possible to retake movies, drama works, music videos, as well as promotional videos. If you are unsatisfied with one take, you can repeat the number with the second take. On the other hand, in documentary video and interview video, it is necessary to pay close attention due to the one-time ad-hoc process. On top of that layer, there was a world of sports video where the one-time character was overwhelmed. Especially in soccer, the game develops rapidly around the ball. Even in a set play such as a corner kick, a momentary tangle can lead to unimaginable developments. I was able to experience it myself.
In many cases, the skill of the photographer often refers to the finish of the video and photos taken. However, in sports video, it is necessary to assume various uses from broadcasting to reporting, and it is necessary to focus on shooting from beginning to end without losing concentration during the game. Live images of musicians have the same feeling, but fortunately, thanks to the common magnetic field of music, we can keep an eye on the next development by integrating with the venue. However, when it comes to sports competitions, it is not enough to know the competition. It is necessary to have a cinematographer (call it?) Who gives instructions while looking at the entire pitch from a distant view. Operate the instructor and the camera as to who the subject is and how wide the angle of view is.
