Shooting a marathon?

[rawfa]

Hi guys,

I´m working for a company that covers a lot of marathons for a youtube channel. The videos usually end up between 2 to 5 minutes. I´ve never covered ANY sports at all, so other then watching some of the videos they´ve already made I don´t know what else to do to get the gist of it. I´m going to be shooting with a Sony NX5R (I wanted to take my A7RII but they told me they cannot ensure my camera and since they´ve already bought the NX5R recently they HAVE to capitalize on it). Any tips?

Do they have a presenter to cover the events??

If so give them a reporter's mic with a RodeLink Newsshooter Kit and go nuts with voxpops and B roll! Maybe a bit of 1st person FoV shots with GoPros from within the race itself as well mixed into the edit. A few careful drone shots here and there if you can.

Also I am still trying to work out why the OP is doing a gig he has not only no experience of, but seemingly no idea about/ interest in with equipment he doesn't know.
