How to Film a Revolution - a tutorial - Occupy the Movie

Please share. Big brother, we are watching you. Part of OCCUPY THE MOVIE, an indy film series aiming to be entirely funded by the 99%. Join us, become a crowd funding producer at: ‪http://www.indiegogo.com/OccupyTheMovie‬

An introductory tutorial for aspiring citizen journalists to consider before next entering the field. You are needed more than ever, to bring the people direct truth, taking out the middle man in the archaic mainstream media. Each camera is a new set of eyes we all share in near real time - no one can take this from us, so it is imperative we refine and develop new skills and strategies to capture the missteps of power. Let us know if you have any ideas for a follow up video about how to better film a revolution! Dedicated to the Citizen Journalist, who is just as important as the Protester in bringing about real change. Directed by Corey Ogilvie.

Carry lots of batteries, and several spare memory cards (unless you're livestreaming, of course). Make sure you have a sturdy camera that you're comfortable running with, and that's light enough that you can hold it up for an hour or more. When you swap out your memory cards, don't put them in a camera case. Put them in a secure pocket, preferably a hidden one, or a case labeled "empties" -- this will reduce the risk that they will be "lost" if you're arrested.

Hi, in Spain we suffer this every day, I'd like to translate (add subtitles) in spanish, and spread it. If you send me the script, I can translate it for you and you add the subtitles.

make sure whatever pockets you put your memory cards in are not natural materials. lots of static can build up. get a second strap for your camera. the one on your hand is fine until it gets knocked out. best to have it also strapped to your shoulder or elbow. no longer than you need. too long and more chance of it hitting the floor.. favour low-exposure over everything. the faster the better. in low light of course make sacrifices. try to have best action over colour/brightness accuracy.

@FloDanton the violent ones are what brings the very people we are fighting their power. It will be YOU against the wall.

Yes, ok, but who says anyone wants a peaceful revolution in the first place?

Sure, but I can't wait for the day when good camera shot will be replaced with a bit of compassion for those who get pawned by pigs and a firm clenching fist.
