You would not believe how many ways there is to produce a video. By the use of cinematography, editing, directing, performance, production design, mise en scene and many more you get a huge opportunity to experiment with your film production.
These are the tips that can help you in the future:
- You may want to plan as much as you can as you can save so much time by being organised and prepared for a filming.
- You can experiment with your camera by simply changing your auto focus to manual focus as it will then allow you to play around with your focuses the way you want them.
- You do not want your whites to be yellow or grey (just like your washing) so make sure that you always set up your white balance when moving from an external to and internal location and vice versa.
- You also don’t want your main subject to be this black blob on the screen so make sure that the sun is behind you and the subject is nicely lit up.
- Use a tripod or some kind of stabilizing device because nothing is more annoying than watch a shaky video.
- However, if you do want to film using your hands then use a rig or something that will give you a steady control of the camera.
- To make sure that your subject is properly focused then zoom in as much as you can so that you can see the fine details being in focus.
- Another great tip is to plan out all your shots on a storyboard so that if you ever want to make a cool editing effect but you need a certain type of shots then voilà, you have it.
- 5 to 10 seconds is enough for an average shot duration. However, you can also film some long take to create a unique look and represent a certain feeling or mood (e.g. 12 years of slave hanging scene).
- However, do not experiment too much. By this I mean don’t film all of your footage in pans and close ups as when you get down to editing you will have no static shots and it will look too jumbled.
- When working with sound you definitely should invest in an external microphone. That is because it will eliminate all the unwanted sounds and your video will sound much more professional.
- Also using headphones is a great idea as it will allow you to concentrate on the sounds more and also let you eliminate the sounds.
Don't forget to do
your research and see what company are out there so look through some
film blogs and choose the right company for you.
