Prize givings and awards ceremonies are special moments for students and their families. Streaming them ensures that every family can witness their child receive recognition, regardless of whether they can attend in person.
Capturing individual moments
The key moment at a prize giving is the individual walk to the stage and the handshake or presentation. Frame your camera shot to capture this clearly. If you have zoom capability, tighten the frame as each student approaches the stage.
A second camera or phone can capture crowd reactions and provide a cutaway shot between presentations.
Audio
Prize givings involve speeches, name announcements, and applause. Take audio from the venue PA system if possible. If not, position a microphone near the announcer rather than relying on the camera microphone from the back of the hall.
Ticketing
Prize givings are typically free or nominally priced at 2 to 3 pounds. The school can use the stream as a fundraising opportunity by adding a voluntary donation button alongside the free stream.
