How To Tape a Live Concert (Part1)
Published by Matthew Jeppsen October 12th, 2007 in News, Production, Tutorials
Titus Films blog has released the first in a six-part series on How to Tape a Live Concert. The first post deals with Securing Permission, The Venue, and Camera and Microphone Placement. The tips seem to be well-thought out so far, I’m looking forward to reading the rest of the series.
You might be thinking, “Oh come on, it’s not that hard to film a live concert… I’ll just round up 4 friends, smuggle in 4 small camcorders, position them around the audience, sync our watches to 11:00pm and then hit record… post the video on YouTube and embed it in my blog (hey, wanna check out my blog?) and I’m on my way to Internet stardom, right?� Not so fast, there, grasshopper. Planning your project, no matter what you’re shooting, is the most important part of a live event–especially in a fast-paced one-take event like a concert.

Extra attention should be paid to the audio. If you can, attend a practice session and record it. If the images are beautiful yet the audio is lame, what’s the point of the production?
Isn’t the main feature of a concert, is the music?
Everything else just iceing on the cake.
