10 Tips for Better Video

1. Stabilize Videos: Built-in image stabilization is not always enough. Invest in a good tripod to shoot still images and smooth motion.

2. Be Deliberate When Moving or Adjusting: When filming, try not moving unless there is a reason. Shoot for 10-20 seconds then stop and move. If panning or zooming is needed, do so slowly and smoothly.

3. Check the Shot Composition: Before beginning the recording process, do some checking on the framing of the shot and the composition to offer a more appealing visual.

4. Know the Video Camera: Learn all there is to know about the video camera being used. The more features that are known about the video camera, the more the videographer can do with it.

5. Share a Story: From beginning to end, if a videographer creates a story it will be more interesting for the audience as the story will be more compelling.  

6. Invest in a Microphone: The on-camera microphone most often will not be good enough as the sound will only be as close as the video camera. An additional microphone will significantly increase the audio quality.

7. Lighting and Lighting: Shoot in a well-lit area if possible. For those times that are not lit enough, carry a lighting kit to create the proper lighting needed for the environment.

8. Complete Interviews: By speaking with the subjects for the video, interviews may add an extra and more natural element to the video.

9. Keep the Basics Available: All videographers should keep basic items on them at all times such as special lenses, cleaning clothes, extra batteries, tapes if needed and any other essential pieces.

10. Enjoy: If the videographer has fun, the audience will have fun. Always enjoy the process.
