How do novices create short videos?

Novices can create short videos from the following four points:

1, determine the direction of short video content and find your familiar field.

When you choose to make a short video, you must first determine the vertical field of the content. The most direct and simple way is to choose the fields that you are good at and understand, such as music, movies, home life and so on. , followed by hot areas, such as funny videos, rural theme videos. Choose a content direction to do.

2. Determine the text script.

Whether you shoot your own video or edit it twice, you need to write a script in advance and divide the video content into several steps. What is the content of each step and what are the lines? It needs to be recorded clearly to ensure that the video is coherent and unhurried.

3. Prepare shooting equipment for video shooting.

The shooting equipment to be prepared includes: shooting tools (camera/mobile phone), tripod, polishing board, etc. If you don't shoot the video yourself, you can omit this step.

When shooting a video, you need to step on the spot in advance according to story board to determine the shooting location, venue scenery, lighting conditions, costume figures and other matters.

Extended data

The script process of novice making short video;

1, build a framework and determine the main line of the story.

Scripts are very important for the structure of video content. As long as the script framework is determined, we can fill in the story according to the story outline. For example, your story is based on emotion, and breaking up is the topic, so what is the cause and effect? Once the story frame is built, you can create a story.

2. Determine the scene and props.

Determining the scene of a story requires people, scenery and things, which we collectively call "props".

For example, real scenes make people feel more substituted, while virtual scenes may cost less, so you need to choose scenes and props according to the actual situation.

3. Determine the duration of the story.

Determine the duration of the story content and the approximate time for users to watch it. Whether too long time can attract users to watch videos and so on. Determine the duration, so as to set inversion and collision according to the video length to retain users. Generally, a video should set a reversal or explosion point around 15 seconds to retain users.

4. Determine the shooting method.

Push, pull, shake, move and follow; Foresight, panorama, middle scene, close-up and close-up, each scene and mirror-lifting technique presents different picture effects. By determining the effect of each picture and choosing what kind of lens, you can naturally fill in the shooting mode of each picture.

5. Ask questions and output values.

Output values that are "useful" to users. The usefulness here can be technical or emotional. For example, your "chicken soup" made him feel the same way, and your "dry goods" made him "benefit a lot". Just need a "value point", which may make users like, comment and even collect.
