Understanding the basics of web video production
* Shooting the video / grab a camera – The initial step once you have brainstormed your story board is to start the shooting process and film in a logical step by step approach, it’s far better to over film and have more content that you can play around with in the tweaking stage than it is to have very little to work with. When shooting make sure you portray your end message and offer in the best way possible.
* Lighting / flick the lights on – The first most crucial element to fix is the lighting, the purpose of correct lighting is to provide adequate illumination for the camera whilst rolling to film the best possible picture quality. Another function of lighting adjustment is to set the mood of the scene, this is were you need to decide on using either hard light or soft light.
* Audio / use a mic – The second most crucial element is the sound for your video, it’s important that you keep your mic as close to the source as possible. Due to the fragile nature of most microphones, try and avoid tapping them or blowing into them, be careful with them to get the most out.
With so many different kinds of mics go for the most common to begin with (if a mic is needed for your project) which is a hand held microphone and use a windscreen over the top to reduce noise, dirt and unwanted sounds.
* Editing and tweaking / smooth the edges – This is usually the tricky part that can either be handed off to professionals or you can give it a go yourself. There are plenty of applications available on the market that will more than handle what you require, from visual effects to funky sounds.
A word of advice when creating your videos is to keep things simple, you will be surprised what works and what doesn’t, be creative and enjoy the process!
