- Position camera at right angle to the bowlers stumps.
- Footage taken from the bowlers ‘open side’ to capture bowlers chest through his/her action.
- Zoom so bowler is as big as possible on the screen.
- Start recording from 2/3 strides before the bowler takes off and include the full follow through.
- See example above.
BACK VIEW
- Essential angle to send to Stuart.
- Capture from directly behind the bowler in his/her run up.
- Zoom to clearly capture the last 3/4 strides before take off into action.
- Capture until the end of the bowlers follow through.
- See example of the angle above.
FRONT ON VIEW
- Consider your safety before capturing front on footage!!!
- This position is desirable although not essential.
- Camera position directly in line with both batter and bowlers stumps.
