The Secrets to Filming a Peaceful Protest If Police Attack

Corey Ogilvie, Director, Occupy The Movie

22 February 11

As the weather warms and more events are happening across the country, here are some great tips to help best capture that next viral clip or photo - while protecting our right to be in the streets.

Part of OCCUPY THE MOVIE, directed by Corey Ogilvie, 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.

Comments

We are concerned about a recent drift towards vitriol in the RSN Reader comments section. There is a fine line between moderation and censorship. No one likes a harsh or confrontational forum atmosphere. At the same time everyone wants to be able to express themselves freely. We'll start by encouraging good judgment. If that doesn't work we'll have to ramp up the moderation.

General guidelines: Avoid personal attacks on other forum members; Avoid remarks that are ethnically derogatory; Do not advocate violence, or any illegal activity.

Remember that making the world better begins with responsible action.

This is Great! If there are numerous pepole taking pictures, this just may serve as a signifiant tool to reduce the agression we have seen by police that we have seen far too often.
