Tips for recording videos
Watch the zoom: Use the zoom function sparingly. If you zoom in and out too much, the constant motion could make viewers dizzy.
Bring a tripod: A tripod is the best way to stabilize your shots. Also, check to see if your video camera has an image stabilization feature. This will help even out the movements your camera makes, and minimizes the shaking in your finished video.
Turn on the lights: If you’re recording indoors, remember to turn on the lights. Recording in a dimly-lit room could make your video look like it was shot in complete darkness.
Use a microphone: If you’re shooting in a high traffic area, your subject’s voice could be drowned out by the background noise. A directional microphone will pick up sound from your subject.
