TOP 10 VIDEOGRAPHY TIPS

November 04, 2018


1. Steady -  Keep the camera still. If possible, use a tripod. Do not always zoom in or out or move from right to left. In general, you want to record at least: 10 with each move. Let the action in the frame speak for itself. You will thank you once you return to the editing room.

2.  Large, Medium, First Floor- For each scene or event you take photos, make sure you get different angles to make choices in the editing process. For example, if you're recording a video event, take the widest possible angle (maybe at the top of a building looking at the crowd), then make close-ups of the faces in the crowd and then some level shots. the terrain. Again, do not forget the rule: 10 to record each shot.

3. What is in the background? - When recording an interview or speech, be sure to note what is in the background. You can move the camera to get the best angle, move the subject in front of a background or create a new background. Ask yourself if this background "visually" supports this story. "Is it a good background for what is being discussed?



4.  Accelerated - time-lapse is one of the most visual and fun ways to capture an event or story. Before leaving for a shoot, ask yourself if the story can lend itself to accelerated fire. Various camcorders nowadays are equipped with special settings of time. If this is not the case, simply install the camera on a tripod and let it roll. You can always speed up footage in editing later.

5.  Lighting - The same rules of photography apply to videography. Always make sure that the subjects are well lit (but please do not light them). For example, do not put a subject interviewed in the sun. Or do not put them under a shady tree with a bright scene in the background.

6.  Anticipating action - This is one of those lessons that can hardly be taught. It is a skill that develops instinctively as you shoot. Once you miss some "money shots", you will learn to pay attention. A simple example is a baseball game. If you want to capture a player who hits the ball, you must anticipate that moment and start recording a few seconds or minutes before. When you realize the ball has been thrown, it's too late. You lost the moment.




7.  Frame it as an image - This is where artistic art and style come into play, but generally use standard framing styles and the rule of thirds in photography.


8. Where is your microphone? - Many amateur videographers or low budget directors do not have the luxury of having audio technology that allows them to hold a microphone. This is often the case in low budget movies, you use the microphone placed above your camera to get a sound. If this is the case, you should always be aware of the position of this microphone in relation to the sound you are trying to capture. If someone speaks, you will need to have the camera very close to him, otherwise, it will be boring for the viewer to lobby to hear what he says. In reality, getting a good sound often dictates your shot. Learn some audio basics as well as tips on videography.

9.  Do not zoom in close-up - As a general rule, the picture loses quality when zooming. An image also tends to be more shocked, especially on a plane by hand, when enlarged. So where possible, take both legs and head to what you want closer. It will look a lot cleaner and more professional.




10. Do not go beyond (or continue) - A common trend of amateurs is to shoot anything. Since they do not know what they are doing, they are mistaken on the winning side. In general, I found that each hour of professional shooting lasted about a minute in the final production. (So, during ten hours of filming, I find myself with a superb video of 10 minutes).
