compiled a couple of useful tips that you can use the next time
you’re out riding.
Here’s 5 useful tips and tricks that you can do with your
own Action Cam to get the most out of it.

1. Plan your story
If you’re planning to shoot more than just a POV (point-of
-view) video, you’ll need to plan your story before you head out
into the trails. Knowing where you’re going to ride makes it alot
easier but if you’re heading into unknown territory, keep your
scene options open so that you’ll have at least story to guide you
through your shots. Having planned scenes in your head will
keep your raw footage flowing smoothly between shots and it
will make editing more fun. Here’s a sample of some true and
tested scenes that you can use the next time you’re planning your
own edit;
Scene 1: Ride prep, low angle shots of friends lubing chain,
checking brakes, putting on helmet
Scene 2: Fist bump, and start riding
Scene 3: Chest POV following a friend
Scene 4: Following shot of your buddy railing a berm
Scene 5: High5 and laughter of friends, scenes of nature, trail
ground
Scene 6: High angle shot of continuing the ride etc..
You might also want to start thinking about your soundtrack
choice at this point. If you’re planning to use a song for your
video, make sure that the song that you use is royalty-free.
