The filming is so important when it comes to your video looking professional. The way you choose to shoot and all the accompanies that is very important. I already talked about some of the important things to remember when filming your video, but here are some other important things to take into consideration when filming...
1. Plan to film more footage than you think you will need. This will give you a better variety to choose from when it comes time to edit your video and will not leave you with any regrets!
2. Plan for everything! Technology can only go so far so you should take everything into consideration when filming. Film as if you wouldn't be able to edit..just in case there is something that you cant!
3. Your project should be well thought out from start to finish. Don't make things up as you go. PLAN!
4. Try to avoid the zoom on your camera. (Makes for a more professional outcome if you avoid this.)
5. Make sure your audio is clear. Use a microphone if your camera microphone is unreliable. Nobody likes a film where they can't here the interview.
6. Remember, lighting is essential for good footage!
7. TO avoid bumpy footage, use the tripod whenever possible. This will help is making sure that the camera remains steady throughout the filming.
8. Retake scenes when necessary!
9. Decide beforehand if you will include the interviewer in the footage or not.
10. Create balance with the camera between your subject and the background.
These are some helpful tips that will make your video a success!
