Whether you are a professional or not, you can start making short films and videos. It doesn't matter what kind of camera you have, you can still make excellent videos. Post-production is very important, but you first need some good footage! The first thing to do is figure out what you want to film. Pick an interesting person. You won't need a tripod, just a steady hand and a thirst for adventure.
1. You'll rarely want to move the camera. To capture movement, you don't necessarily need to move the camera- let movement enter and exit the frame. Don't follow movement with the camera, just hold it still. If you want, you can pan (but only if you get good).
2. Get a close-up shot. Not only does it draw attention to the action, but it gets the viewer engaged. Don't be afraid to stick the camera in someone's face.
3. Next, get a great shot over the person's shoulder. This is a good perspective to have, and the viewer feels as though they are right there. It's okay if the person moves in and out of the frame.
4. For the previous shots to make sense, step back to get an overview shot. Get a number of different shots by walking around the action (not while recording).
5. The previous shots are the most critical, but after you get those, feel free to experiment with different angles. Get on the ground, or shoot from up above. Refrain from "zooming". If you need to get close, move closer.
Typically, you will want to record 10 second segments of all the shots mentioned. When deciding what to shoot, follow your instincts and capture what your eye is drawn to. Put all these shots together for a dynamic film!
