How to be a sharp shooter...
... video shoots, that is!
You’re convinced. Video is key to your marketing strategy. But how do you get started?
And, how do you do it right? A great video might sound impossible, but with a quiet
room and a simple backdrop, you’ll be making professional-looking videos in no time.
Let the Sunshine In
Natural light is key in good listing photos, and
the same holds true for your videos! Naturally lit
places (windows or outdoors) provide better col-
or and contrast when recording. Do a practice
recording and play it back to make sure there
aren’t any distracting shadows or glares in your
scene.
Less is More
Place yourself in front of an empty plain wall to
create a clean video. Don’t have an empty wall?
Hang a bedsheet up and you’ve instantly got a
studio right there in your home!
Audi-Oh-No!
Prioritizing crisp and clear audio will be crucial
for a successful video. People are more likely to
exit out of video with poor quality audio than
over fuzzy graphics. Use the headset that came
with your smart phone or consider investing in a
decent microphone.
