Making a Camcorder Video
(Updates)

The things to do below should help you in making your video interesting and professional.

Pre-Production:

1. Setting a goal for the final edit is a must. A plan to achieve the goal should be your checklist. For example, my goal is to get viewers to visit my SEO website and my plan is to give valuable SEO Tips and plug in my web address.

2. Praying to Jesus, with others, beforehand will help increase work performance! Things to ask for: Direction, simplicity.

3. Good video makers first get to the point of video making where they have fun. My point is to master the art of video making first, then I will enjoy it.
--------------------
Video Recording:

4. Placing in and out zooms in the final edit is only good when you are not doing serious videos.

5. For handheld shots, the Image Stabilization feature should be enabled.

6. A camera operator can use a wheelchair or dolly to get smooth camcorder movement.

7. Microphones must be placed as close to the talent as possible for quality sound. It should be located in the direction of the talets voice projection.

8. Two or more camcorders will help keep the video alive.

9. The brighter the area the better. Use video lights, table lamps and the sun.

10. Check background.
A. Avoid pot plants from sprouting out of people's heads.
B. Avoid more exciting things in the background to keep attention of viewers on subject.
C. Avoid backlighting to keep camcorder focused on subject.

11. Keep the camera's CCD chip safe.
A. Switch the camera on before taking off the lens cap. If you take the cap off then switch it on - light streams in and a chip could get damaged.
B. Don't point camcorder at really bright lights.

12. Master white balance

13. Keep the bottom of the frame even with the horizon and flat surface of the earth for best results.

14. Keep the top of the frame 2 1/2 inches from the person on film when 10 feet away. Gradually increase this gap with longer distances. Slightly make this gap smaller with closer shots.

15. When the subject's nose is pointing to the camera, keep the subject centered on screen. When the subject is turned from the camera, the space in front of the subject, on screeen, must be more than behind them.

16. Shooting everything you can is helpful. You can edit later.
A. Use up 75% of your battery life and always use a portable recharger. Shoot close ups, buildings, reactions from other people and anything that comes to mind.
B. Add 3 seconds to beginning and end of shots.

17. Shoot with both eyes open to see what's going on in the viewfinder as well as around you.

18. While recording, tape answers to the questions who is the person in the video, what is he doing, when is he doing it and where is he? Prepare each shot with these questions in mind. Experiment with using words on the bottom of the video stating answers to these questions.

19. Avoid appearing in film as camera operator. Who wants to see this?

20. Clean camcorder with an airjet cleaner.

21. When batteries are kept warm, their life is longer.
--------------------
Video Editing:

22. Is the video easy to understand?

23. When editing, all frame shots should be kept to under 9 seconds to keep video alive. It is ok to extend frame shots to 25 seconds when doing interviews.

Video stuff can be purchased at ebay for 25% to 75% off retail price. Most of the electronic items, at ebay, are new.
