Key points for short video shooting, what are the four elements of short video shooting?

When we are watching short videos , we often see that the video content of some accounts with millions of fans is very clear, but the likes and fans of the videos we shot ourselves are very few. That’s because we don’t know how to shoot. Whether it is shooting videos or photos, good use of light can greatly improve the effect of the photos or videos we take. Below, Feng Chao, an operator from Jimifeng Technology, shares what are the four elements of short video shooting?

Key points for short video shooting, what are the four elements of short video shooting?

Four elements of short video shooting:

1. The picture should be clear

The picture should be clear, very clear, not too blurry. Many people will ask after taking the photo, why is my photo so blurry? What is the reason? In fact, the fundamental reason is the problem of light, and another possible reason is the problem of mobile phone pixels.

2. Composition is key

In photography and graphic design, what matters is composition. The creator must express the subject matter and theme and combine them well according to the requirements. In order to create a coordinated and complete picture, it is necessary to properly organize the images to be expressed. When making short videos about new things, we must pay attention to combining them with the traditional arts mentioned above and pay attention to composition.

3. Anti-shake is essential

We often see that when some people shoot videos, the picture shakes badly, which makes people feel very uncomfortable and don't want to continue watching. We can use anti-shake equipment, such as tripods, monopods, anti-shake stabilizers, etc. There are many anti-shake devices sold online now, such as for mobile phones, cameras, brackets, etc. We can equip one or two according to certain equipment.

4. The duration should be appropriate

Nowadays, most videos played on short videos are generally between 20 and 60 seconds. For most of us, our visual acuity starts to decline after 30 seconds, so we recommend that you don’t shoot videos for too long, and keep it within 60 seconds.

Today I will share the four elements of short video shooting. When shooting a video, you must have a theme. What is your video about? What do you want to show? The story must be complete. When shooting, you must pay attention to the changes in the picture. Don't keep one focal length for a long time, and don't shoot the whole process in one pose. We need to use some push, pull, and follow shots, and shake the camera horizontally to make the picture full of changes.
