From the time when heavy cameras were essential to be a videographer or photographer today, it’s all wrapped in a palm fitting smartphone. All that high quality you get in a pocket fitting size. Well, not just the prize this also means budget. Well, for best professional work those big buck gadgets are the correct gear. But, as smartphones nowadays have high megapixels, resolutions for recording without running out of storage. So how about using these smartphones to make a big impression?
In this blog, we are going to talk about the tips with which you can make better video content or say a vlog with just using your smartphone.
Be Unique
Be it any medium, today there’s a sea of content and every view counts. In hours you can go viral or on the other hand unnoticed for months. The USP of being noticed is an appealing and unique content. This not just gets you views but real followers too.
Whether it's a funny video, a makeup tutorial, a recipe, or any whatever crossing your mind make sure to be authentic. Though it's an acceptable fact that every idea is an inspiration from someone else’s work but adding your personality or observation touch to it can also give uniqueness to it. Also, make your video script shot & stuck to the purpose only.
Be Equipped With Tools
Tools here means all the accessories you would need to make an impressive video. Well, a smartphone with at least HD (1080p) video recording still stays on the top, other things like a selfie stick or tripod and lights (if indoor shooting) are basics for shooting a good video. An even light in & clear audio are key factors of your content. As the culture of short videos is on the rise, you better make sure that you have access to a good video editor too.
Point of View
In the sequence of creating an exemplary video; the point of view is as important as in photography. The angle of your camera makes a difference when setting across a point. Let’s say, if there’s a selfie video, how do you feel watching only a face appear all over the screen & nose popping out oddly? That is why you need to think of a subjective point of view to connect the viewers to your content. Well, if you are unable to do so, take the help of filters or effects available on many video creating or editing applications.
Stay Close To Subject
While you want to improve the point of view in your video, staying physically closer to your subject ensures better image quality, less digital noise, and better focus in your videos since most smartphones use a digital zoom rather than optical zoom. If your video requires super zoom close-ups of tiny details, they make clip-on macro lenses that will fit any iPhone or Android smartphones.
Improve Your Audio
A video with the poor quality audio track is totally junk & useless. Audio is more important than the video. No matter how interesting your video is without proper audio viewers won't be able to connect to it. Unfortunately, the built-in microphones in most phones are improperly placed. Thus they catch the unnecessary surrounding noise easily & competes with the audio you want to record. That is why you can either use an extra mike or you cover your phone's microphone with a hand partially. This little trick can reduce unwanted noise to a great extent.
