Tips for shooting better online video

hacker hacker - 5 months ago

Equipment

  • uni-directional (cardioid) pick-up pattern
  • lo-impedence (ohm symbol) 600 ohms or lower
  • frequency response range: 50-100 hertz to 10,000-15,000 hertz
  • 1/8” mini-plug or a ¼” phone plug with a 1/8” adapter
  • 10-20 foot cord (you might find it a pain to wrap up and store such a long cord, but it’s indispensable when you really need it; a detachable cable is OK)
  • No battery required

    • Elements

  • video accompanied by its own sound – called “natural sounds” or nat sound
  • snippets of people sharing information that advances the story – “sound on tape” or SOTs
  • your vocal track over video – your vocal track is the “voice over” or VO, and the background video under your narration is called “b-roll.”

    Interviewing people on camera

  • People don’t really understand how to hold and use microphones
  • Leave a little headroom at the top of the frame.
  • Position your subject a little to the left or right of center and leave nose room to the opposite side.
  • Use the LCD monitor on the camera to watch the interview at the same time that you look over the camera and make eye contact with the subject.
  • Don’t shoot your subject in front of a window or with the sun behind him

    General shooting tips

     

  • Each shot should be 10 to 15 seconds.
  • Use your tripod whenever possible and always use your earphones.
  • Let the tape run for about 20 seconds at the beginning of a tape and leave a little tape at the end as well.
  • Get as close as you can to your subjects and shoot close-ups whenever possible.
  • For online video, avoid pans and zooms
  • Divide up the frame mentally into three vertical strips 

    Putting it together

    • Sit down and create a log of everything you’ve shot.
    • write your script in two columns
    • Select the SOTs (interview sound bites) that help move the story forward.
    • record the chunks of narration between the SOTs.

    Editing software

  • Windows Movie Maker
  • iMovie(for Macs)
  • Adobe Premiere Elements
  • Ulead VideoStudio
  • Final Cut Pro
  • Cinelerra (very powerful and it's Free Software!)

  • YouTube
  • Open Media Network
