1. Low angle

I'm really happy to see someone saying this. I have watched almost
every single street, trials and freestyle vid posted since I joined and
the ones I like follow all of those rules. The ones I didn't like
didn't follow them.
Another good point about filming from a low angle is that you can hold
the camera much more steadily from an outstretched arm acting almost
like a pendulum. No muscle shaking and therefore a much more clear
video.
Another problem I see often (particularly I was noticing it as a
problem when I was filming) is that people film from too close and then
can't keep up with the rider. If you aren't really good with a camera
and can follow someone and always keep them in the middleish of the
shot then take a few steps backward and leave more room for error. I
often see too many clips where the person filming has filmed from too
close and they either can't keep up with the person or they move too
quickly and part of the rider gets clipped off.
So another thing to add to your list is to always keep your subject
completely in shot. If you can't get that then getting a close up shot
is pointless.
