Video Making Tips

 * Plan your video thoroughly before filming. Rehearse your parts until you feel comfortable with them.
 * Choose a location for filming with good light. Avoid overly bright backgrounds, which can drown out your subject.
 * Get close to your subject. Think of an interview on a news program, such as 60 Minutes. The subject is close to the camera, with his/her face filling a substantial portion of the frame.
 * Try an unusual angle. For instance, instead of shooting straight on, have the camera positioned so that the subject is looking at an interviewer off to the side, at an angle to the camera. Also, consider positioning the subject in the right or left third of the image, rather than directly in the center.
 * Relax and act naturally.
