Video Creation How to Make a Better Video
Making a quality video is not difficult but for that you must follow some basic principles. If you follow them with a camcorder of average quality, you will
be able to shoot a quality video.
. The No 1 enemy of video quality is the camera shake. This is easy to avoid and you must avoid it. Your camcorder has image stabilization but that is
not enough. Always use a good tripod. The tripod will not only prevent camera shake but also will enable you to operate the camera with remote control.
. Most videos get spoilt due to too many adjustments within too short a time. Do adjustments only when it is really necessary. Zooming is the most
frequent adjustment made. Do that only when necessary. How to do the shooting is to have the camera on one direction at least half a minute before moving it
very slowly in case the necessity arises.
. When you shoot, give some thought to composition. When you have the subject in the middle of the frame it will not look nice. Lave two third of the
frame in front of the subject when he is looking sideways.
. Whenever you make a video use your old camcorder. The reason is that you are well versed with its operation. When you buy a new one, first of all you must learn to use it without looking where the controls are. You must know all the facilities that are available in your camcorder and should be able to use them instantly when necessary.
. Try to tell a story with your video. When you make the video presentation in the form of a story it is interesting to watch. Though you don’t narrate the story the viewer could perceive the story with the pictures. Use the narrator’s story as much as possible to add value to the video.
. Buy a small condenser microphone that could be hidden under the shirt of your subject in case you need to record his voice. Most condenser microphones do not need wires.
. Give thought to lighting. If you are using natural light use backlighting to give good lighting effects. If you need you can use a small video light. They are not that expensive.
. Interview is a great way to present a video. Whatever the event is the event could be added with some value with an interview. When interview is
conducted do not frame the subject in the center of the screen and also he should not look at the camera.
. When you go for your video session pack your bag with all the necessary equipment. Take the tripod with you. Carry some lens cleaning tissue. Carry an extra battery. An extra cassette will be an asset.
