How to make better videos(12 helpful tips on planning, conducting surveys and processing of filmed material)
Excellent results can be achieved, if given due attention to the most simple of preparatory operations. All the way from the moment you picked up a video camera, prior to applying the finishing touches you can do a lot to your movie turned out as best as possible. Below are 12 tips.
1. Advance implements their ideas in the script. Before filming, try to imagine how the final version should look like film. If you are good to know that you want to get in the end, it will be easier to prepare for taking and obtaining the necessary video.
2. Excellent digital movies start with a large amount of raw footage. Videotape is cheap, so shoot more - even more than you think, might be useful. You always manage to discard the unnecessary, but will never be able to enter the fragments are not removed.
3. Make a wide variety of images. Shoot close-ups and panoramas. Shoot the same scene from different angles. Especially do not forget to capture the underlying long-range plan, and they are very good for the introduction of new video sequences and serve as a perfect backdrop for the titles.
4. Whenever possible use a tripod. Shaking when the camera is almost not noticeable when images of size 320x240 pixel. But even short QuickTime movies will look much better if you keep shooting with a tripod.
5. Optimize your hard drive. Before you start your digital coding of video, be sure to use the tool, for example MacTools firm Central Point, to defragment your hard disk. Defragment you get on your HDD optimal recording speed.
6. To enter and store video clips, use the maximum computing power. When you enter a video do not run other programs in the background. Disable AppleTalk and restart your Mac with an absolutely minimum number of busy control panels and extensions.(QuickTime software to be loaded.)
7. Enter and save videos in small fragments. Every plan of footage provides a separate episode. When editing movies is easier to work with short fragments than with long, containing many scenes.
8. Inspect each piece after it is submitted in digital form. Make sure that there is no interference, and that he played smoothly, parasitic effects in the performance of QuickTime compression software sometimes cause the appearance of one or two foreign staff. Remember that the edited movies cannot be better than the original clip.
9. Enter and save your video exercises, under the specifications for the final film. In other words, if you want your movie to use 16-bit color representation and the frame size of 320x240 pixels, then enter and save your snippets in accordance with these specifications. Programs such as Premiere and VideoShop, can subsequently change the frame size or color depth, but it takes a long time and sometimes degrades the resolution and sound quality.
10. Choose the correct frame rate. The video, recorded c at 30 fps, does not necessarily ensure a more smooth picture than that recorded at 15 fps. If the baud rate at a higher frame rate exceeds the capabilities of equipment, then begins to drop the QuickTime footage that equipment could cope with information flow, this leads to very poor quality video. In some cases the films using a high frame rate looks even than those obtained at lower temperature.
11. Enter and remember movies with 16-bit color performance. Films c, 16-bit representation of the colors look almost as good as the movies with 24-bit performance, but they played twice more smoothly.
12. Do not get carried away with exotic special effects. Too many unnecessary fancy transitions can spoil the impression of your final movie. Very effectively be used a simple transition, repression and nodules. The special effects leave for only a few key points.
