5 mistakes/lessons learned from our first home made video
Virginia Berman
- Get a tripod. Test it out, practice using the tripod.
- Find and shoot in an open, clean space (not the heavily used family bathroom for example).
- Have light--plan for daylight, and bring in lights or foam core to reflect light if necessary. For us, filming children, that meant weekend when the children were not in school.
- Take still shots of the product separately from the video.
- Narrate separately from the video so it's easier to edit.
