LET'S MAKE A VIDEO: Part 4...


Greetings...

How's your camera practice...? Did you applied all simple tips that I've gave you before...?

Here's another tips to improve your shooting skills and hopefully it will shine your work like a pro...

Good composition requires that you think about the camera's position relative to what's being shot - and what's happening around you. If you are videoing an interview with someone sitting in a chair you don't want the camera shooting from a standing level, looking down on the interviewee. If you are recording a lecture you may want to position to get a student's-eye view - but at the same time you don't want to block the view of any students attending the lecture. 

Consider, too what else is in the frame. The presence of a legible poster located behind the person you are videoing may tempt the viewer to read it rather than listen to what is being said. Similarly, if some sort of action is being carried out in the background which isn't directly relevant to what is being said, it could prove distracting. A classic error is to shoot a person such that it looks like a tree or a building is growing out of the top of their head.

The camera person should consider where the video will be viewed. Simply put, the smaller the screen, the bigger the objects should appear in frame. It is common practice in the film and video industry to shoot for television differently than for cinema. In particular, television shooting includes far more close-ups and detailed shots of objects. This is even more important in this day of streaming video and mobile devices where the video may be viewed on very small screens.

Try and keep the compositions interesting. A speaker should almost never be shot speaking in the direction of the camera: it is far better to have them facing, however slightly, to one side or the other. Placing a speaker in the centre of frame is both rather boring and unbalanced looking. It is much better to place them off-center so that there is empty space on the side of the frame they are addressing.
