By Misty Tyler


It should not be rare to find people nowadays who are into producing videos or audios. This is all thanks to the rapidly evolving digital technology. With all the amazing things that one can do with the cameras, videography tools, and such available to them these days, there is no one who will not be smitten with video production.

If you are one of those people who want to enjoy the said task, then you better know of the right ways for you to produce good videos. There are several tips that you have to take note of for that, after all. To those who want to make good videos, then here are the simple tips that you should not forget.

First, note one's distance from the subject. It is better to be close to a subject when filming. Even if you have the best quality of zoom-in lenses, one should go close to the subject to achieve that visual perspective that will make the shots look excellent. The shot will look more natural too.

This is also the same with the sound that you pick up. When it comes to the cameras that you can use for the said task, there will always be a built-in microphone in there. The sound the microphone picks up will be much clearer and of better quality if you are physically closer to the subject that you are focusing on.

You can find lots of cameras nowadays equipped with automatic settings. There are cameras with auto-focus and auto-exposure now. However, one should not depend on these features too much. Instead of using them, it is better to turn off the said features and just focus on manually controlling them.

For the videos that you are trying to produce, you will most likely use scenes. When it comes to shooting the scenes, it is highly recommended that you use more than just one shot. It is better to have multiple shots because these can provide you and the viewers a different perspective on what is normally being viewed.

Film more than just the subject. You have to film something else as well. This way, it should be easier for you to break up the shots or what you are filming. They can also become helpful when you want to hide the places where you cut away something during the editing stage. The whole film does not get boring then.

Your height when taking your film should be at the same height as the subject. The level of the camera should be on the same eye level as the one you are taking a film of. If you do that, then the shot will look a lot me natural. There will be nothing odd with the film then.

The lighting will surely be your greatest weapon when it comes to your film. If you can learn how to manipulate and control the lighting, then you will surely get the best outcome with the shot that you have taken. If you are unable to control the lighting, then consider adjusting your scene according to the lighting.
