Matters needing attention in shooting short videos

2. Planning scenes and shots: Before shooting, think about the composition, angle and motion mode of each scene. Try to plan the switching and coherence between different shots to improve the viewing experience. At the same time, pay attention to avoid frequent violent movements and fast switching, and provide enough stability for the audience.

3. Find the right light: Light is very important for video quality. Try to choose natural light or bright and uniform light for shooting to ensure bright and clear images. If you shoot indoors, you can use lamps to provide better lighting effects.

4. Consider sound quality: In addition to image quality, sound quality is also a key factor. Try to choose a relatively quiet environment for recording, and use an external microphone or additional audio equipment to improve the clarity of audio. Ensure the synchronization of recorded audio and video images, and avoid noise and murmur.

5. Adjust the equipment settings: Before shooting, adjust the equipment settings to appropriate modes and parameters. Adjust the settings such as white balance, focus and exposure to ensure the color accuracy and clarity of the video picture.

6. Stabilize the camera: try to keep the camera stable and avoid jitter or image blur. Using the anti-shake function attached to tripod, stabilizer or handheld device helps to improve the stability of shooting.

7. Try different angles and shooting skills: In the shooting process, try shooting from different angles and heights to increase the visual layering and interest. You can use different shooting techniques, such as translation, rotation, scaling and motion mode, to make the video more dynamic.

8. Pay attention to composition and details: pay attention to the relationship between the overall composition and various elements. Pay attention to the balance of elements and visual emphasis in the picture to ensure that the picture is attractive and visually impactful. Pay attention to avoid messy background or unnecessary interference.
