38. Other things to consider when shooting: Remember all the usual public health guidelines still apply! Make sure your battery is charged and you have enough space on your internal memory or SD card before going to record (and bring spares). If you’re borrowing one of our video cameras, familiarize yourself with how to operate the camera and change the settings. Test it before the day of the shoot! Shoot more than you think you’ll need & at least 10 seconds per shot. Review your footage BEFORE leaving the location.
