APPLICATION

This time it will be done virtually with the fundamental objective of giving all our practitioners/competitors the possibility of continuing to participate at a distance, continue competing and keep learning. These rules are entirely based on the official regulations of the I.T.F. and they are experimental because in this situation the rules were adapted for Virtual competition.

4.VIDEO FILMING PROCEDURE

1) Intervening parties

There may be two: the “competitor” and the “operator”, there will be a person responsible for filming the competitor in the development of the pattern following the guidelines described below.

2) Video format

The filming of the video must perform a standard horizontal shape, to achieve a greater amplitude of the shot. 16:9 shooting size (android 1920×1080, iPhone 1080p HD at 30 cps).

3) Frame

The box will be the area delimited by the four edges of the screen. The operator must continuously verify that the competitor does not leave the box during the execution of the PATTERN. The complete image of the competitor must always remain within the frame.

4) Filming angle

The angle must be normal or neutral. This means that the axis of the target will be at the competitor’s shoulder height and parallel to the ground.

5) Shooting distance

The shots must be taken at a distance such that, in all the execution of the form, the complete picture of the competitor can be displayed at all times. Zooming with the camera is allowed.

6) Filming speed

It will be “normal camera”; it will not allow its acceleration or slowdown.

7) Filming position

The operator must take the frontal shots ONLY with respect to the competitor’s starting position (X), since this is the perspective of the games that judge the PATTERN.

8) Audio

9) Start recording

The Official Tournament Poster must be observed, in a fixed position or shown at the beginning of the filming, without any cut in it. The competitor will start filming in a firm “Charyot” position, perform the “Kyong Ye” salute after the salute (3 seconds), perform the “Jumbi” preparatory position in which he will wait 3 seconds and start the Pattern.

10) End of recording
