Strategies to Shoot a Video

without comments

Anyone can make a short film, you don’t need to be a professional. Any kind of camera will do, because these tips will help you make a great video. Post-production is key to creating an awesome film, however, you’ll need really good footage for post-production to run smoothly. The first step is to figure out what you want the film to be about. You’ll want to pick someone interesting. Get ready for an adventure- forget the tripod, you can leave it behind.

1. You’ll rarely want to move the camera. To capture movement, you don’t necessarily need to move the camera- let movement enter and exit the frame. Don’t follow movement with the camera, just hold it still. If you want, you can pan (but only if you get good).

2. Get a close-up shot. Not only does it draw attention to the action, but it gets the viewer engaged. Don’t be afraid to stick the camera in someone’s face.

3. Next, get a great shot over the person’s shoulder. This is a good perspective to have, and the viewer feels as though they are right there. It’s okay if the person moves in and out of the frame.

4. For the previous shots to make sense, step back to get an overview shot. Get a number of different shots by walking around the action (not while recording).

5. After you get the critical shots, experiment with other angles. Try shooting from up high, or getting down low. Rarely do you want to “zoom.” If you want to get a close-up, all you have to do is move yourself closer in.

Generally, you want to hold each shot for 10 seconds. Don’t be afraid to follow your instincts, and capture what catches your eye. When you are done, you will have a dynamic film with different shots.
