Those are definitely two of the most key components for creating well-crafted videos. Even if the premise isn't attention grabbing, it automatically ups the quality. Here're two more fundamentals:
1. Know your camera. You should be comfortable with it and understand its features like the lens, focus, aperture, and shutter speed. The more you feel familiar with it, the better you will become at photography and filming.
2. Don't shoot video thinking you can "fix it post." Come up with a plan, or at least know your vision, and shoot the best you can when you have the camera to maximize how it looks on the video editing screen.
