1. Be Familiar with the Shooting Content
For example, in the process of shooting an origami plane, you should practice several times in person, so that every detail is well known. And you could know fairly well about how to deal with key points and difficulties.
If the process is not skilled, it is likely that the time is not enough in the shooting process because the content is not tight, or other problems like the focus are not prominent, improper details, and even there will be forgotten phenomenon.
2. Mute Shooting to Ensure Recording Quality
During the shooting process, the door should be closed to avoid interference from outdoor noise, and the volume of the mobile phone should be turned off to avoid the influence of prompt and SMS sound on the video.
Closing the door can reduce noise and ensure clear commentary during recording, although the sound volume of live shooting may not be loud enough, which can be increased during post-editing.
3. Make Good Use of the Pause and Delete Functions
The most critical thing is to use the pause function well.
For example, a 3-minute short video is divided into 3 segments, each of which is one minute, or divided into several finer segments. If you are not satisfied with any of the segments, you can delete them and re-shoot them.
If you don’t pause, after more than 2 minutes of shooting, you find that the last sentence is wrong, then you have to delete all of it to revise it. If there is a pause, you just need to delete the last fragment.
4. A Good Video Editing
No matter how well a video is shot, it is still very rough work if it is not well edited.
A good video is combined with content editing and transition settings, plus a special beginning and end, with beautiful background music and filter effects.
In short, shooting a video requires certain editing techniques and shooting techniques. Only through continuous practice and gradual accumulation can the production level of the video be improved.
