In this video, I break down 5 sports videography principles that I use when filming any basketball game to make my sports videos look more cinematic and like a movie than a sports game. I discuss filming wide-angle shots of the action, shooting low to make your subject look more powerful, capturing important detail shots to tell your story, filming from the fan perspective, and conveying emotion in your videos.
