Tips for video taking wiht your digital camera or video cams

Do you have the experience that most of the videos taken cannot be shown to others? Either too shaky or too boring. And Christmas is coming soon, you would love to keep some of your good memory. Here got some useful tips for your video taking by using your digital camera or video cams.

Avoid excessive panning and zooming. To avoid getting your viewers "sea-sick," try to minimize the amount of panning and zooming. If you are using Canon, try to use Canon’s Smooth Zoom Control (fixed zoom speeds) can give your video a more professional look.

Keep it steady. To keep your video steady, turn on the camcorder’s image stabilization. Leaning up against a wall or tree will help provide support. For extended shooting, like a dance recital or a soccer game, use a tripod.

Light. When shooting indoors, the more light available, the better. Using your camcorder’s built-in video light, or even turning on some room lighting will help improve the quality of your video.

How low can you go? To capture better video of children and pets, sit on the floor so you are down at their level. Shooting at a low-angle will give your video an interesting perspective.

Don’t shoot video... tell a story. Watching video is great when it tells a story. Before you begin shooting have a story in mind -- a beginning, a middle and an end. It will make getting shots more efficient and fun!
