Shooting Video For Editing -
There's a trick to shooting video out of sequence and editing it
together later.
Just 4 shots - The magic of
television. There are only four different shots in television and
once you learn them and their uses, you'll know how to do the
magic too.
Basic storyboarding - It takes a
lot of planning to develop a video production that makes sense.
It's been said that 90% of the work on a good video production is
done before you take the camera out of the box.
Continuity is essential - If a
person is signing their name with their right hand and you cut to
a close-up of their left hand doing the writing, that's a
continuity problem.
Using Cutaways - A cutaway is a
shot that allows you to cover up an edit. They are very useful
when editing interviews.
Simple lighting techniques - Using
inexpensive lighting instruments, you can add snap to your video.
