5 Tips for Shooting Videos on a Budget

Today on Video Marketing Madness - 5 Tips for Shooting Videos on a Budget: 1) Camera. You can use your iPhone or a good Android (S5 or Galaxy Note). Get an app to control things like the iris and focus. iPhone has one called FiLMiC Pro. You can buy a camera at Best Buy for as little as $400 but make it has an audio input 2) Camera stabilization. Make sure you have a tripod (and adaptor if you use your cell phone). $40 will get you a good tripod at Best Buy 3) Audio. Folks judge a video by its audio. Try to stay away from the built it ambient mic and use a lapel mic that plugs into the camera. KV technologies has an adapter for cell phones. Rode makes a mic for cell phones and iPads. Ray sells a mic and tripod for cell phones. 4) Editing software. IMovie will edit right on your iPhone or iPad. Android has an app as well. Adobe Premier works on a PC or Mac. WeVideo.com is a good, free online editor 5) Lighting. Make sure you have plenty of that. Shooting outside is good.
