Tip #1: Want to look smaller? Tilt the camera down when shooting a video.
Who knew a simple tilt could work wonders, right? By angling your camera downward just a tad, you can create the illusion of a more flattering perspective. Say goodbye to looming giants and hello to perfectly proportioned videos!
Tip #2: Avoid looking at yourself, look at your phone's camera.
It's tempting to sneak a peek at yourself while filming, but trust us – your phone's camera is where the magic happens. Direct eye contact with your audience through the lens adds a personal touch and keeps them hooked from start to finish.
Tip #3: Find your light.
Lighting is the secret sauce of every great video. Whether you're basking in natural sunlight or getting cozy with some LED lights, finding the perfect lighting can make all the difference in how your content shines.
Tip #4: Need to break the ice? Laugh it off!
Feeling a little awkward in front of the camera? Take a deep breath, close your eyes, and when you breathe out, laugh and imagine something hilarious. A good laugh can work wonders for loosening up and bringing out your natural charm.
Tip #5: Spice it up with hand gestures and facial expressions.
Don't be afraid to get expressive! Hand gestures and fun facial expressions are like sprinkles on top of your video content – it invites people into the story!
Tip #6: Clean your camera lens.
It may sound like a no-brainer, but you'd be surprised how easily your camera lens can get smudged or fogged up. Take a quick moment to give it a wipe before hitting record to ensure crystal-clear footage every time.
Tip #7: Capture video with music
Have you ever wondered how people record a video while their phone’s music is on and record both together? Simply go to the camera, stay in camera mode, hold the record button and swipe the button to the right. When you’re locked in, you're ready to rock and roll with sound!
Tip #8: Use your body as a stabilizer.
Who needs fancy equipment when you've got your own body? By keeping your elbow glued to your hip and moving your body slowly, you can capture smooth, shake-free footage that looks like it was shot on a professional stabilizer.
