But, most small business owners aren’t experts at video and are concerned over the proper techniques in how to use their video camera. Sites and backgrounds are very important in creating professional looking videos. Here are some background and site location tips for how to use your video camera to best promote your business.
1. Think of Different Locations From Which You Can Film.
Avoid staying cooped up in your office taking videos of you just talking to a camera. Shake things up a bit by finding an interesting site that relates to the subject of your video. In front of a brick wall to discuss getting out of a rut, or a busy street corner to discuss making the right choices might be good ideas. Any location that conveys the message of your video in an inventive way will capture your audience’s attention.
Anticipate different weather conditions when you go on location. Keep a strong cover for your camera and other equipment handy in case of rain or snow. And if the sound quality could be interrupted by wind or background noise, be prepared to re-record in a quieter location later.
2. Vary the Backgrounds In Your Videos.
Not only can your locations help to emphasize points, but your background can as well. Video is so powerful because it speaks to your audience’s visual senses as well as their audible senses; this can make a powerful non-verbal statement if you select your background well.
A noisy subway would serve as a much different background with all its sounds than a quiet cornfield, or being outside during a hail storm. Your neighborhood will have all different kinds of background options right nearby, so keep your eyes open for possible settings you can use.
3. Design Your Background.
Because the visual aspect can make such an impact, it is important to take extra time to position your setting so that there is a sense of balance in the shot.
If you have a large background, for example, you probably would want to balance yourself between the camera lens and the background. Too close, and the background will be lost. Too far away, and the viewers won’t see you. Keep in mind that you need to stand further back than you think you should. A wide screen setting is the default for most video recording, so you need about 10 feet to give your viewers the entire picture.
Video is the future of Internet web video, and knowing how to use your video camera effectively will make it easier for a small business owner to shoot effective, interesting videos quickly and easily. Having the right setting and backgrounds will go a long way to creating Internet web videos that work.
