Unleash your talent
At the Basketball TV Academy we encourage you to explore the different production roles that contribute to a successful live stream.
Operating a camera can be a fantastic way to get started, there are various camera positions that require different skills and expertise.
From capturing the action on the court to focusing on the reactions of the coaches and players, camera operators play a crucial role in bringing the game to life for viewers.
Wide Camera - Typically positioned high above the court, this camera captures the overall action and provides a wide shot of the game.
Handheld Camera - Used to capture close-up shots of players, coaches, or other individuals, often providing a more intimate and dynamic perspective on the game.
Replay Camera - Typically a camera with a telephoto lens best used to capture detailed replays of key moments in the game, such as slam dunks or game-changing plays.
