Professional Tips For Shooting Better Home Movies
Posted on December 31, 2007
- Ensure Proper Light. When shooting indoors, turn on all the lights in the room if possible. This will avoid graininess when your camera tries to brighten up the image. As a last resort, use an on-camera light, although it will give you a more “deer in the headlights” look compared to the natural beauty of multiple lamps. When shooting outdoors, keep the sun above your subject, or to the side. This will prevent your subject from having to squint in the sunlight, or from having the background too bright.
- Turn off the Auto-Iris (exposure) if Possible. The iris is what controls the amount of light coming into the camera. Normally this is set to be automatic, so you don’t have to think about it. But this results in the video image being brightened and darkened constantly as you pan between subjects, or having your subject darkened to where you can’t see it because you had a bright window behind them. If you camera has the option of using manual exposure, be sure to turn it to manual so it stays even.
- Avoid Zooming. Walk in close (within 5 ft.) to your subject whenever possible and avoid zooming, which makes your image shaky and obscures the field of view around your subject. Plus you continue to lose light as you zoom in. If you’re shooting people or children, a close up of them while you’re completely zoomed out seems as if you’re right there next to them, not some distant stranger trying to peek in. Furthermore, your audio will be much louder, cleaner, and tighter when you shoot close up to your subjects.
- Frame your Subject Properly. Now that you’ve got the camera close up to your baby in the walker, now frame the shot where the head is NOT in the center of the viewfinder all the time. Always try to put the back of their head near the edge of the viewfinder. This is a much more pleasing picture to watch, instead of having faces bumped up against the edge of the screen.
- Overshoot, then Edit Later. You will get far more memorable moments on camera if the camera is actually recording compared to when it is turned off. So overshoot constantly even if nothing seems like it’s happening, because eventually it will! Go back later and edit out the slow stuff. If it seems too tedious or too expensive to invest in all that tape stock, consider upgrading to a non-tape camera, such as a DVD recorder, hard drive recorder, or even a good digital still camera can shoot decent full screen video and record it to a memory card. This way you can record nonstop and delete the boring scenes instantly. The result will be beautifully composed, lighted, and entertaining home movies that your family will cherish forever.
