Lesson 2: Game Day Tips
-
Know where to record. Record from the highest angle and as close to center ice as possible to get the best view. Right along the red line is ideal — try to capture all players and the entire zone at a time. And avoid any obstacles that will block your view, such as netting or fans.
-
Use a tripod for smoother video. No one wants to watch shaky video. Plus the height of a tripod can help you reach that perfect vantage point.
-
Set your filmer up for success. Share these game day tips with them so they’re equipped to capture the best video possible.
-
Record the scoreboard. Take quick scoreboard shots throughout the game, especially at the end of each period. This will help our Hudl Assist analysts as they tag and you as you review.
-
Capture referee signals. Keep the referee in the frame so you can capture their signals throughout the game.
-
Go easy on the zoom. Stay far enough away to get both teams without using the zoom too often — you’ll thank yourself later.
-
Only pause at long breaks. To keep up with the flow of the game, only pause when you have to (like between periods). No need to stop and start for every faceoff.
