Tips For Shooting Quality Videos
Shooting Good Quality Videos Is A Skill That Takes Time To
Develop, But With A Few Steps You'll Find Yourself On The
Path To A Professional Movie.
These Steps Will Make Your Footage Look Awesome.
• MEMORY CARD (class 10) and BATTERIES, there's nothing like seeing a great
moment you want to capture, having your camera set up, and you are
unable to capture it because you either ran out of battery or memory space. It
can be really disheartening! Charge up before you shoot and make sure you have
memory to spare for recording and also battery to spare. Don't forget!!,
Always go to location with your system.
Handling Of DSLR
How you handle and use DSLR can make a big difference to the quality of your image. Just follow these STEPS.
• Use the camera's neck strap. This is more of a safety way than anything else, because keeping your expensive camera firmly attached to your body by a neck strap will discourage any thieves from running away with it. If you are unlucky enough to stumble, a neck strap will stop your camera from falling down.
Make Research Before Taking Any Action.

How To Shoot Video With Your DSLR.
Shooting video with your DSLR. If you want to shoot cinematic looking video using your Digital SLR, then read these top tips.
1.
Take the camera off Auto.
2.
Read the manual.
3.
Set the ISO lower. If you are shooting exterior in bright natural light make sure you set your ISO to a low setting to avoid unwanted grain. If you want a grainy image for effect, it is very easy to add in post-production. When you are filming in low light situations, experiment and only push your ISO to what looks acceptable for your individual camera.
4.
Make sure you set your White balance to the correct setting. This is really important when moving from indoor to outdoor and between different lighting environments. If you shoot in indoor mode (3200K) outdoors your image will have a blue colour cast and your skin tones will look unnatural. This is down to colour temperature. Our eyes are amazing at dealing with change in colour temp, however, cameras need to be told this. Colour temp is measured in degrees Kelvin, any vague memory of the Kelvin Scale from Science class..? Daylight is approx 5600K. If you set the colour temp to the wrong one, unlike stills even with the most advanced colour correcting tools, this is incredibly hard and time consuming to correct in video and you will never be able to get it to look 100% natural.
5.
Set your shutter manually and as a rule of thumb leave it at double your frame rate for regular shooting i.e. if you are shooting at 25fps (European standard) set your shutter to 1/50 of a second. Increasing the shutter speed is good for shooting high-speed action i.e. a racing car. Regular action shot with a high shutter will have a staccato effect and look unnatural. Horror movies often use this as an effect.
6.
Get a fluid head tripod. Even though you are using a stills camera, you do need some video tools and accessories. A fluid head tripod is one of them. This will allow you to do smooth pans side to side and tilts up and down.
7.
When shooting, don’t be lazy and just continuously record. You will end up with hours of rubbish to trawl though in the edit. It is better to turn over (record) 4-5 seconds before your action starts and cut 4-5 seconds afterward. If you are doing a move i.e. a pan of a landscape, then record 5 seconds of the static frame at the beginning then pan then continue to record 5 seconds of the end frame. This will give you 3 shots instead of just one.
8.
Make sure you use manual focus. Auto focus, can be great on stills, but for the moving image it will continuously ‘hunt’ for focus. This is because the camera will be looking for what to focus on. This is especially true in low light situations when you have a much shallower depth of field. Practice following movement, the more you practice the better you will get at manually focusing.
9.
Take your camera off Auto. Learn about Manual Exposure. It is 100% better to manually set the aperture (F Stop). This way you expose for what is important in the frame and the exposure won't change when you pan from something light to dark. Exposure has a direct effect on depth of field. Read up on this and how you can select what is and isn’t in focus. A shallow depth of field will give your image a much more 3D quality.
10.
Use good filters. Buying a screw on neutral density (ND) filter will help you control the amount of light that enters your camera and hence the exposure. This will help you correctly expose using a wide aperture and regular video shutter 1/50 shutter speed ensuring a shallow depth of field even in bright light.
11.
Talk to who you are filming, build a relationship with them. Get them to feel comfortable with you and being filmed. Giving them encouragement will increase their confidence and in turn increase the quality of the end product.
12.
Learn how to frame. Framing is one of the most important aspects in filming. Watch movies and good quality TV series with the sound off - This way you will concentrate on how the images are framed without getting drawn into the story. Look at how the sequences are edited together and how different angles cut together.
13.
Enjoy and experiment. Try shooting hand held. Learn how to be comfortable with the camera. The more you feel comfortable and in-control behind the camera the more your filming skills will improve.
14.
Get hold of some basic accessories to make your life easier. A follow focus unit will make focusing much more accurate. A viewfinder will allow you to see your image much clearer so you can spot focus and exposure easily.

The Smart thief had actually
used the stolen cell phone to
text the husband in the contact
list and got hold of the pin
number within 20 minutes and
has withdrawn all the money
from their bank account.
NOTE:
There is nothing really wrong in
disclosing relationship between
you and people in your contact
list. I AM NOT ADVOCATING FOR
OR
AGAINST the use of names like
home, honey, hubby,
sweetheart, dad, mom, etc
What's important here is, when
sensitive information is being
asked through text, “confirm”
by calling back...let's be wise and
sensitive.
Also, when you are being sent
text by friends or family to
meet them somewhere, be sure
to call back to confirm that all
message came from them. If you
don?t reach them, be careful
about going places to meet
“family and friends" who text
you. SHARE WITH FRIENDS

A photographer puts more on the line then their
expensive gear and their reputation while shooting.
Bad habits and poor equipment choices can lead to a
number of painful and potentially career-ending
injuries.
Slipped discs, muscle spasms, rotator cuff syndrome,
tendinitis and carpal tunnel are just a few of the
occupational hazards that can come from lugging
around a heavy bag of gear and turning yourself into
a human tripod for a living.
