Setting The Scene
Imagine two edits, both with exactly the same tricks. One is just raw riding, while the other has a few lifestyle shots of the riders, a couple of cuts of the surrounding area where it was filmed and maybe even a cheeky time lapse or two. Which is best is down to personal preference, but most people would probably prefer the latter. It’s good to get in the habit of shooting a couple of clips of what’s going on around you while you set up – even better to always keep a camera near you in case you miss that ‘You’ve Been Framed’ moment. Careful though, it’s easy to overdo it and end up with an edit that’s ‘all filler and no killer’ (above).
