Ten Helpful Tips for Shooting Great Videos

  1. Use manual focus if your camcorder has it.
  2. Set white balance at every location.
  3. When shooting outdoors, keep the sun behind you.
  4. Plan your shoot. Shoot to the plan. USE A SCRIPT.
  5. Use a tripod or other image stabilization device.
  6. Use plenty of light. Learn the basics of 3 point key lighting.
  7. Be sure and get several angles both close up and wide of the same sequence, then do cutaways for “fill shots”.
  8. Move the camcorder only when necessary.
  9. Shoot to edit. In other words, build the house according to the architectural drawings.
  10. Keep your average shot length between 5 and 10 seconds.
