Whenever you're getting a shot of some action and you think, "Yeah, that's good. I'm going to stop recording now," just go ahead and keep rolling for another 10/20/30 seconds. Why? Because it'll save your ass when you head into your edit. There's seriously nothing worse than editing a scene and needing a shot to be just a touch longer...like a fuggin' half a second would turn a mediocre sequence into a masterpiece. (I might be exaggerating, but I'm also not.)
Let your shots breathe, let them linger, and don't be so eager to stop recording.
