Helpful You Tube videos

MUST DO’s FOR YOUR FILM

• No background noise, film where it is quiet and when it is not windy. If you need to record speaking over your video.
• Hold ipad in landscape every time. Cannot use video in portrait.
• The best videos are still, try not to follow a character with the ipad. Let the character move.
• Press record, count to 3 before you start your scene. You need to be able to edit.
• Delete mistakes as you go otherwise you end up with sooooo many videos and it takes time to go through.
• Film in scenes/little parts. Do a part and then stop and then do the next part. You edit together in imovie.
