In today\u2019s world, more and more people are becoming in-the-moment brand videographers and citizen journalists. When you pick up you phone to film, these 9 basic tips help you create a quality video:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Clean your lens before recording.<\/li>
  2. The closer you are to what you are recording, the better the sound.<\/li>
  3. Hold your phone horizontally.<\/li>
  4. No one likes a shaky cam, so steady your device.<\/li>
  5. Check your settings. We recommend 1080p at 24 frames per second.<\/li>
  6. Take a moment to compose your picture, before you shoot. Remember, what you see is what you get.<\/li>
  7. Observe lighting conditions. Look for odd shadows, and avoid backlit settings. For example, do not record someone standing in front of a window.<\/li>
  8. Check on available storage space, since shooting video involves large files.<\/li>
  9. Embrace your inner Steven Spielberg and have fun!<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Whether you are just starting out using video as a storytelling tool or have already used the medium for marketing, the more you do it, the better your videos will become. Remember, the most important thing is to have fun!
