Increase your Value


Today topic is making your work in to a cinematic piece of are by using inexpensive ways to increase the production value with out breaking bank. I know the plan is to hit up YouTube and be the next YouTube star, or you just want people to see your work but in order to get view you need to understand you need to focus on one audience, then you need to advertise your product (video) through a social network like Facebook, and MySpace these are good site where your friends will see the videos and if they are good they will want to share with there friends.

Now this is the part where I try to tell you some faults and how to improve them like the first thing I see in videos are the two shots of people speaking, sure dialogue is important but it not suppose to be boring, and the best way to improve this through a cut between lines and understanding the 180 rule (Which I will discuss next blog). Another thing is get a camera man with a steady hand if every shot you use is static (aka your camera sitting on a tripod) a great and inexpensive way to juice up a camera shot is getting a Wal-Mart $10 skateboard for a mini push dolly and make you some epic pulls, pushes, and what ever you can come up with a skateboard.

Now live performances I know its hard to record a concert and even with one camera and the best way to do this is focus on one song. First is to focus on the singer for the full song of your chose because it is hard to dub lyrics to the singer sing something different. Next for every other song take video of the rest of the band and some wide shots and at the end you will have one have to edit the video to the lead sing video and try to make a music.

That the blog this week I hope it helps, now grab your camera, your script and your talent and make a movie.
