Things to think about when filming your Virtual Dressage entry

 

  • Where possible avoid anything that provides personal or identifying information in the background or setting where the video is being filmed.
  • Ensure that you only have the horse and rider combination in the film that you are recording.
  • Do not share the video content with anyone else.
  • Please make sure you use your own device to record where possible.
  • Check the rules for correct competition clothing and tack.
  • Avoid filming into direct sunlight.
  • Think about the time of day that you record your video, low setting sun, mist etc can all have an effect on the quality of the video.
  • If your horse is dark in colour think about the background of your video. If your arena is surrounded by dark hedges your horse may blend in with the background.
  • The filmer must stand at C.
  • The filmer needs to always keep you in the centre of the screen, following you around the arena and zooming in where necessary.
  • Videos must be filmed in landscape (turn the phone on its side)
  • Can you see all the letters around your arena and is it the correct size (20x40m)
  • All videos must be started by filming the days newspaper that you are recording on
  • All videos must clearly state the riders name, horse name and which test they are riding
  • Videos can only be submitted via Youtube.
