!
• To start with everyone loves a story - so tell them one!
• Have a ‘hero’
• A beginning
• A middle
• An end
You can start to use more complex formulas when you get more confident…
Plan twice - shoot once!
2. A SmileTop Tip!
!Imagine you are speaking to
your best client, a family member or someone who
already knows you’re awesome!
!Talk to them - and them only.
!Relax and Enjoy It.
3. Use Your Creativity
• Think what you want your overall video to convey.
• Your story is made up of short pieces - like a jigsaw
• Each piece should be short and have a function - a bit like a paragraph in a story
Plan on paper first• Make a list of ideas of possible video shots
• Think of some locations and possible backgrounds (indoors or outdoors)
• Think about the end goal for your video
• How can you use it to entertain and educate?
• What emotions do you want to stimulate?
30 seconds … Think how easily you get
bored…
If you make it to 30 seconds, you’re doing a good job!
Anything after that had better be VERY good.
4. iPhone 5s • The camera on this model is
awesome and as good as many SLR cameras
• Hold your camera horizontally when filming
• Use the front facing camera for the best quality
• A tripod is ideal (a stack of books gets tricky - I’ve tried)
5. A Tripod - PLEASE!
Why Use A Tripod?• To stop annoying shaking (your audience will be so grateful)
• To allow you to set up a shot if you need to
• Your stop any tables or books taking up the bottom of your shot (it looks really amateurish!)
• To prevent you having to slump to fit in the camera!
• You look and feel like a pro! (lol)
• You can order any of these tripods on Amazon at the end of this presentation.
Your Microphone• Please, please, please make
your sound quality as good as you can by using a mic!
• A microphone will reduce or block out external sounds
• Audio (sound) is so important and will set you apart from the total beginners
• You can get your Røde clip on Microphone for approx $60 here. (click on link)
