Hello All,
Here is a new thread just to focus on developing on a training module about making "videos".
edbaker have given us 10 good tips of doing videos :
1) Videographer as a mentor.
2) Master the skill of pan and zoom.
3) Always use a tripod.
4) Use a mic (either overhead boom, under scene boom or handheld, or lapel)
5) Rule of thirds : 1/3 inside frame left or right, and about 1/3 from the top.
6) Subject is 1/3 frame from left side: look straight at interviewer off to the right side of the camera.
7) Brief the subject to talk to the interviewer, not the camera.
8) Count off the seconds that a particular frame is on screen.
9) Drop visuals to give the viewer different perspectives.
10) interviewing more than one person: other panelists are non-distracting.
Here is a second video, still has a lot things to improve......

In just video we have no music on the background, we are still working in getting a mic and tripod.....
Here is a question for all :
What kind of tips you have on distributing video on youtube ?
Cheers,
Marcos.
