When more interesting was the entrance of the tips to make better videos Yesterday I go and make you wait (what audacity) 24 hours to read the rest of the recommendations. I hope the wait (worth the redundancy) was worth it. Here are more tips:
You are also the protagonist. The other day we said that you also deserve to appear in the photos, because in the videos, more of the same. Leave the camera fixed (I recommend a tripod), rotate the screen 180º and get into the action. This way you will see what you are recording and you will be part of the memories that you will see in the future.
Down. Recording babies from the height of your head makes them appear even shorter and smaller than they are. Approach him, record him from his height level, lying down or on his knees, as if you were another baby watching his life go by.
Record yourself on another plane to add yourself to the scene. Surely this has some more professional name, if so, I'm sorry, but I don't know. Use the flat plane. It is to add a little humor to the moment.
I explain with an example: if you are recording your baby camera in hand and extend your arm to make cuchi-cuchi You can then record a shot of yourself, placing the camera where the baby is, as if the recording were his vision, and do it again cuchi-cuchi.
At the time of mounting the video alternate both planes and in the video you will see what you see and what your baby sees (that is, your priceless face of dad making cuchi-cuchi), as if you were maintaining a visual dialogue.
Cut, cut and then cut a little more. I tell you from experience. I had my friends swallow half an hour of video of my first child when I was barely a month old.
Imagine the plans and the little variety it brought. It seemed all important to me, but since then there is someone who doesn't talk to me (and now I watch the video and it seems moderately heavy).
Add photos This is a personal option, but I really like doing it. In a chronological way I usually intersperse photos with videos (with fades between them, of course). They serve to add variety and there are so funny that they enrich the content of the video.
Put a soundtrack. Good music can save a bad video (because at least, if you don't like what you see, you entertain yourself by listening to music). If the video is good, then with music it will be even better.
The dialogues of adults are usually not very enriching, sometimes they even record phrases that should not have been recorded (“and your mother says that…”), so a little song-setting musician and, if there is anything the child or someone says that is of interest, you lower the volume of the music, you upload it to the original audio and so the moment is heard.
I hope that with these tips you can do interesting things. If you can think of some more they will be accepted willingly.
From here a few days, to take a hand in the choice of music, I will publish an entry with songs dedicated to babies and children.
