Lights, Camera, Action!!!

Now its time to start creating your video. If you have access to a professional studio and the finances to afford these you are steps ahead. Professional studios can be very costly and that time out of your schedule. Most of these studios will have all the tools you need including lighting, backgrounds, audio and video equipment, and more.

However some of you that are new or just don't have the money yet need to become a little resourceful. Use the resources your have like a smart phone or a digital camera. Trying to keep the camera as steady as possible. Some programs that we upload to will have stabilizing tools within then. If you are uploading to YouTube, there is an editing page that includes stabilization. This work well on a low budget.

Before you start shooting on your own. Run a few test shots checking things like lighting and background noises. Look at where you will be shooting your video. Sometimes centering yourself on the video may not be the best options. If you are shooting a travel video looking to promote a location. Having yourself off center a little so the audience can see the location in the background. This helps you audience see what they just might experience.
