Positioning

Your video is essentially the eyes of your coach. The discipline and topic will effect the video positioning.

Flatwork – Video will need to be inside the “arena”. Movements may need to be seen from multiple angles. For example, a view from both inside AND outside a 20m circle would be beneficial. Lateral work, will need to be viewed from the front  AND the side.

Jumping & XC  – For example, if the topic is Rider Position, the video will need to close enough to analyse.  Gridwork –  a view of full grid is important (a front and side view could be beneficial). Jumping a Course –  The video should be taken from a good vantage point, this may be outside the arena area.

 

Technique

Coach will need to see the “full picture”. Horse and rider should stay in the centre of the frame at all times.

Steady videoing is important. Use of a tripod may be beneficial but not essential.

Please show the “Approach” and “Getaway” of all movements and jumping efforts.

Please record with the sound on.

Only zoom where necessary.

Please record videos in landscape mode where possibl.
