You can shoot better video. Really.

This is the section of the site where you can grab yourself some useful info and tips on how to get the best out of your camcorder (or other video recording device).

The basic intention is to give you stuff that you’ll find useful when considering how to lift your skills above base level – how to frame shots properly using industry-standard conventions, how to improve the quality of sound, how to illuminate your shots in a way which improves the overall look and feel of what you shoot.

In other words – all the foundation stuff. Most people shoot really awful video simply because they don’t stop and think about what they’re doing, but by taking a bit of time to consider more carefully what you’re doing and how you’re doing it you’ll turn much better video. That applies whether you’re recording with a proper camcorder or your mobile phone!

You clearly have some incredible choices. They are:

  1. Sharp Shooting – taking control of your camera is key
  2. Shot Composition – good composition improves your work
  3. Simple Lighting – there’s no picture without light. Learn the basics
  4. Good Sound - good sound is as important as good pictures

You’re really spoilt for choice. Oh yes you are – we can tell!

Enjoy.
