Making a Camcorder Video:
(Discovery Updates Included)
When filming your business video, use the following tips to make your video interesting and professional. Buy video stuff at ebay for 25% to 75% off retail price. Most of the electronic items at ebay are new.
1. Disable digital zoom and minimize zoom to keep the video professional.
-------
2. For handheld shots, enable the image stabilization feature.
-------
3. Use a wheelchair or dolly to get smooth camcorder movement.
-------
4. Use a High Fidelity Stereo Microphone for single speakers and group conversations.
-------
5. Use two camcorders to keep the video alive.
-------
6. The brighter the area the better. Use video lights, table lamps and the sun.
-------
7. Check background.
A. Avoid pot plants from sprouting out of people's heads.
B. Avoid more exciting things in the background to keep attention of viewers on subject.
C. Avoid backlighting to keep camcorder focused on subject.
-------
8. Keep the camera's CCD chip safe.
A. Switch the camera on before taking off the lens cap. If you take the cap off then switch it on - light streams in and a chip could get damaged.
B. Don't point camcorder at really bright lights.
-------
9. Master white balance
-------
10. Keep the bottom of the frame even with the horizon and flat surface of the earth for best results.
-------
11. Keep the top of the frame 2 1/2 inches from the person on film when 10 feet away. Gradually increase this gap with longer distances. Slightly make this gap smaller with closer shots.
-------
12. When the subject's nose is pointing to the camera, keep the subject centered on screen. When the subject is turned from the camera, keep the subject's nose in the center of the screen.
-------
13. Shoot everything and edit later.
A. Use up 75% of your battery life and always use a portable recharger. Shoot close ups, buildings, reactions from other people and anything that comes to mind.
B. Add 3 seconds to beginning and end of shots.
-------
14. Shoot with both eyes open to see what's going on in the viewfinder as well as around you.
-------
15. While recording, tape answers to the questions who is the person in the video, what is he doing, when is he doing it and where is he? Prepare each shot with these questions in mind. Experiment with using words on the bottom of the video stating answers to these questions.
-------
16. Avoid appearing in film as camera operator. Who wants to see this?
-------
17. Clean camcorder with an airjet cleaner.
-------
18. Keep batteries warm for longer life.
-------
19. Get to the point of video making where you can have fun. My point is to master the art of video making first, then I will enjoy it.
-------
20. Set a goal for each video. Make a plan to achieve the goal. For example, my goal is to get viewers to visit my SEO website and my plan is to give valuable SEO Tips and plug in my web address.
-------
21. Keep it easy to understand.
-------
22. When editing, keep all frame shots to under 9 seconds to keep video alive.
-------
23. Pray to Jesus with others beforehand! Ask for direction.
