Wondering what I mean by yourself to observe the weather condition before starting to shoot a video?, of course the quality of the display would in great length play a major role in drawing the attention of your viewers, Although there is no specific time frame that I could recommend to you, because the earth is very large with different time zone, it may be 10:00 am in Canada while the Africans would be between 4:00-5:00am, as the time zone differs by country, so also the weather conditions, more to that we have longer day shorter night, shorter day, longer night, I have no specific time frame for you to begin shooting a video but take note of the following regarding the settings of the sky before shooting a video.
1. Allow the sun to be at the center of the city:
Not necessary, but before shooting a video, when the sun is at that position this reduces or erases unwanted darkness on images, instead of having one part of the body looking bright and the other part looking dark and dull it is better to wait for the sun to be at the center of the city, as this would result to a nice looking shot. and also would hide shadows from accidentally appearing on the screen
2. When shooting a video indoors, or in a room, try using fluorescent bulbs at least two, to get a clear view of Objects in the room, whether or not the room is dark, before installing the bulbs try out different positions in the room, if you have found the best position that fully lights the target of the video you can make use of it.
3. Sometimes, even with the presence of sunlight, it can also affect the images on the screen, do not let the rays from the sunlight to get in contact with your phones camera, by this you would be able to get an image without poor image quality, if the sun seems to cover the area, use a board or carton to cover your phone.
Camera positioning:
Are you experienced in taking photos, you might be familiar with the way you are suppose to handle your phone, when shooting a video do not bring your phone very close to your body especially around your chest, this would not give you a nice 3D view, instead you make sure that your hands are firmly holding your phone at the same level between your Nose and eyes. Turn your phone to landscape mode, instead of postrate, Do not be carried away from what your eyes are seeing with what the camera is actually viewing, instead of focusing your eyes on the real life acting, it is better to fix your eyes on what your phones camera is actually viewing, than been carried away with the original activity, you might lose the target object as soon as a change in positioning occurs. It is better the camera moves a bit backward with the phone turned in a landscape manner, so you could capture every part of the show.
1. Get a separate device for recording of your voice, if not available, do not speak when the camera is moving toward your direction, instead allow it to face you before you begin talking,
2. depending on the video type that you are shooting, do not shout while speaking as these would look irritating, or cause the speaker to glitch, instead I recommend that you speak In a moderately loud manner, if in case you are not sure of yourself perform an experiment by testing the first 30 second of the video to know if there is any adjustment needed for the tone of your voice.
3. Go to quite environment, but in case the video should be filmed at public place, it is recommended that you get close to the face of the person before they begin speaking, if the video is an interview with pedestrians and you are not satisfied with the sound quality, it is better you write down the whole expressions of the person, then after which you must have moved to a quite environment, so you record your voice speaking on behalf of the person.
4. If you are creating an entertaining video I recommend that you begin by adding the sound and voices of all characters together then you save, study the sound together with the other participants, after which you follow up the sound while the camera is viewing, at this point you only move your lips with demonstrations so that your viewers would understand the video. In fact this is the best way to act an entertaining video on your smartphone.
5. If you experience low video sound, Make use of sound increasing softwares
to improve the loudness of audio.
1. Cut off non reasonable part on the video
2. Add sound effects to videos, that is if you are creating entertaining videos,
3. You can add subtitles to your videos, (optional) that would make the video look more proffessional.
2. You can insert music at any point you wish
3. Add movie title
4. Write subtitles if you feel it would be coool
