Imagine traveling over 3,000 miles in two weeks while on vacation using a GoPro Hero
9 video camera to shoot a cinematic video footage. Wouldn't that be sweet? In this video,
you'll learn the five ways I film cinematic action footage while hiking the Smoky Mountains
and other parks just using my GoPro Hero 9 Camera. Pan forward. I simply hold the camera
like this, push the button on top, and move forward towards the object that I'm filming.
[music] Pan backwards. I simply hold the camera like
this, push the button, and then move backwards. [music]
Spin shot. I simply hold the camera like this, then spin the camera around as I'm filming
the canopy of trees above me. [music]
Crane shot. I simply hold the camera like this, push the button, and then film going
up the tree, and then down the tree. [waterfalls crashing]
You can also incorporate an angle shot while you're filming. You're holding the camera
like this, and as you're going down the tree, you can move it backwards and around like
so. [water splashing]
If you're filming something far away, it's good to have something in the foreground so
you can get that cinematic motion effect. For example, here, I am filming a log with
my GoPro. [music]
You can also use the TimeWarp feature to speed up your filming. Just setup the TimeWarp and
then press the button on top. [music]
If you want to slow down your TimeWarp to slow motion, just push the side button. Now,
you can see it's at half-speed, and so everything that you film will be in slow motion. When
you want to change it back to high speed, just push the side button again. To stop,
just push the button on top. The time lapse feature comes in really handy if you're hiking
a trail or biking along a bike path. Just hit the side button if you want to slow it
down into half speed. Another great feature of the GoPro is that
you can film cinematic footage while underwater or just above the water.
[music] Here are the settings for filming my 4K video.
It's 4K at 24 frames per second. The lens is wide. I use the boost mode and the HyperSmooth
to get smooth footage. Another great benefit of the GoPro Hero 9 is that you can use the
GoPro Quik app on your phone to edit the video footage. All you have to do is download and
install the GoPro Quik app from the Apple Store or Google Play Store and then you can
control your video camera. You can also use the GoPro Quik app to edit
your video footage, and quickly and easily make a video slideshow. This saves you a ton
of time because you don't have to be at your computer and you don't have to lug around
a big camera. All you need to record cinematic video footage while you're traveling is your
GoPro Hero 9 and your phone. If you want to learn how to quickly and easily edit GoPro
