Yes, lowâ€"light situations â€" from gymnastic exhibitions to swimming competitions â€" should no longer scare away amateur _ moviemakers, particularly those using a new Kodak XL33 movie camera _ designed _ for a vailable lig ht moviemaking. No movie light is necessary. Following the natural continuity of the event, your movie should have a beginning, a body and a conclusion. You might start, for example, with a brief scene of the scoreboard that features the name of each team and the 0:0 score. Then, at regular intervals or when the lead changes frequently, you can record it for your movie. If possible, rove the sidelines during the game, changing your camera angle frequently. For a jump ball, you may want to stand or squat opposite the centre court line. When the action is centred around your team‘s basket, on the other hand, you will probably want to choose a low angle behind the basket on the sidelines. After an especially crowdâ€" pleasing basket, focus on the fans for a glimpse of specâ€" tator reaction.

When you have shot as much of a particular action as you want, stop filming, change camera position and get ready to film the next interesting action. _ As you film, pay attention to the background as well as the single centre of interest in each scene. Keep the background as simple as possible by choosing your camera angles carefully, and by using foreground objects as frames to help focus the viewer‘s attention. Even spectators standing in front of you can help you single out part of the action with your movie camera. There‘s plenty of action to film at the high school or college swim meet, weightâ€" lifting, wrestling, acrobatics.
