THE PROBLEM

I have watched a number of videos online with brilliant content except for some easily resolvable drawbacks with the videos. Most of the problems were in relation to how the videos were recorded and edited. Chief among the problems is what is known as jump-cuts as well as other issues which cumulatively took the shine and focus away from an otherwise brilliant presentation. I was particularly worried because there are simple solutions to these problems which I find with a lot of online content even from well-established and well-resourced content creators. As a trained and professional video producer, I thought I should do something about it and that is what my class is about.

THE CLASS OVERVIEW:

This class is about giving tips, tricks, and hacks on how to make very classy and professional-looking videos, particularly for online video content creators.  Irrespective of whatever tools are available to you, even if it is just your phone, you can make very classy video content with these simple tips, tricks, and hacks, and at the end of it all, you also get insight as to how to make extra income from the skills learned. I will teach on 3 basic topics namely:

  1. Basic video recording skills and tricks with a particular focus on avoiding common mistakes that make a lot of online videos look very messy, unplanned, and unprofessional.

       2. Video editing made easy. I will show you basic video editing skills and tricks that will make your                   videos stand out.

       3. Finally, I will teach on screenwriting which is writing scripts for anything that is meant to be seen or               watched on a screen i.e. Phone, tablets, PC, TV, film etc.

I chose to focus on these three because for me, videography, screenwriting, and video editing are all the art of storytelling just that they are done differently. Unfortunately, that is where I see a lot of simple mistakes being repeatedly made on otherwise brilliant content on videos online.

 

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN.

At the end of each lesson, you will have a deeper understanding and knowledge of certain basic principles, skills, and tricks in video content making that will drastically improve the outlook of your videos henceforth. You will also learn how to make some money and a living, no matter how small, out of the skill and knowledge you will acquire from this class.

At the end of the entire course, you will become a smarter, professional, and multi-skilled content creator with knowledge not only about how to express your creative abilities better but more importantly, the opportunity to make a living out of your creative skill and talent.

 

WHY YOU SHOULD TAKE THIS CLASS.

These days, it is easy to record and upload any kind of video to the internet; but if your objective is to make a living or career out of it, then you have no choice but to do it right and that is what this class is about.

This class is very important because I have watched some amazing and wonderful videos on social media which were great content but not in the manner in which these videos were recorded and as a trained videographer, I know that most of the problems were due to little or no knowledge by the content creators of the right way of recording and or editing their video material. All this go a long way in taking some shine out of their videos.

For instance, there are numerous videos on the internet even from well-established and well-resourced content creators, where the video is recorded in one long single shot with no variations in image sizes and with a lot of what is known as jump-cuts. Jump-cuts are unpleasant flicks in videos where two shots of the same image sizes are edited together because there were no variations in image sizes at the time of recording the material. This is a very simple problem that can be easily rectified but surprisingly, it is a very common problem with numerous videos online. This and many other such little mistakes do not only make your video look unprofessional, but also give the impression that not much thought was put into producing the content and therefore of the viewer. All these commutatively do take a lot of shine away from an otherwise brilliant video, particularly on its professional outlook.

The good news is that most of these problems can easily be rectified with simple tricks and available technology. But until people know and understand why what they do may not be right, they will continue to repeat the same mistakes and that is why I am teaching this class. I want to put my many years of experience in encountering and solving these same problems at your disposal because I know most people conceptualize, develop, film, and edit their content themselves. If you consider yourself a serious online content creator be in whatever genre, with the objective of creating a brand supported by the quality of your videos, then this class is a must for you.

WHAT THE COURSE ENTAILS.

This class will introduce you to and provide you with some very important skills of videography. What you must know so as to make your videos look classy and professionally done. It is nothing deeply technical. Just simple to understand and simple to learn concepts, tips, tricks, and hacks for making a great video. You will learn:

  1. Tips on recording video to engender pleasant viewing
  2. Simple video editing with a touch of class.
  3. And tips in writing creatively for the screen.

After completing my class, all your videos no matter what genre and no matter what you use in recording it, will always look very classy and professionally made.

 

WHO IS THE CLASS IS FOR?

1. Class Introduction Video: Hello, My name is Yang. I'm a professional script writer, TV producer, and director. And I have over ten years working experience behind me in those that have developed and written for a number of very successful TV shows and programs in Ghana. Currently, I develop a produce content on TV that is technical, vocational and ICT education and skill acquisition. And how those clothes can easily help you create a job or career for yourself. I currently do this on YouTube, Facebook, instagram, Twitter, and LinkedIn. You can find the links to my social media hundreds in my profile. So for this class really about the best way is to show you a little bit of the class work. What the class is about is discussed. Let's watch this. I've worked so many videos on the Internet with great contents, except for how these videos were recorded. And there's one thing that I noticed in spite of the amazing content that they provide, there was something about the video recording that was not done, right. Usually, they record in one long on various shots because the original material was filmed in one long on vertex shots. When the edit Thompson outs and join those speeches together. That is what we call a jump cut at the point of edits. Now, let's watch it. This preliminary people to come and realize that maybe sold his company to me. Wow, you're monster. The contract in Liberia. And so because he was leaving, he wanted to sell the company to me, but we didn't want to put to know that. I don't want his family people to know that. That's what he has done. We sat down, we went on our agreements are for what's in their mind, but I was able to put lights report on the Monday. Okay. He means times? Yes. He handed everything to me that he lives. This is how's most videos are edited. Okay. The long shots, and he just added some things out, put them together, and then it's uploaded. But that's a better way and more appropriate way of editing such videos. And I'm going to show you how does seem material. This is how it can be edited to look like family people to come in and realize that maybe just sold his company to me. Wow. Let me see. Your master had the contract in Liberia? Yes. And so because he was leaving, he wanted to sell the company to me. But we didn't want to put to know that. I don't want his family people to know that. That's what he has done. Okay? Yes. So we sat down, we went on our agreement for watching diamond, but I was able to put their money. Okay. And he means times, yes. He handed everything to me that he lives. So did you notice the difference? The same clip, the same raw footage, but edited differently? What's the difference here? A very simple skill that I'm going to teach you to make your videos look better and more exciting and professional, where you can make the same footage, that same one low borane single image shot footage, cut meat, look like a multiple camera, work with different viruses in the image sizes and even movements in the camera to make it look as if there's a pan and zoom when in the actual for the, nothing of that sort ever happened. What everything looks like a multiple camera work when in actual fact, it was a single camera work. These and many other things about videos and upload that I see on the internet that I think can be improved and MIT data. And that's why I want to offer this course and this class or this little adolescence, go a long way to take a lot away from your video in terms of their professional outlook. So that's why I'm here to offer you a class where I'll teach you the little tricks of the trade terms that you should look out for and how to set up the right way and make your videos look very professional and pleasant to look at. So I'm going to be teaching on three main topics. I'll be talking mainly about script writing, particularly screen writing. I'll be talking about videography. We focus on directing. And I'll be talking about editing videos. I'll be concentrating on these three because to me, scriptwriting or screenwriting, videography or directing and video editing, all the art of storytelling, but done in different formats. So I'm going to be teaching you the skills, the tricks, and what you should know. And at the end of each session of the class, you would have had a deeper knowledge of and learn some of the tricks and tips of the tree. And at the end of the entire course, you will become smarter and multi-talented professional content creator with knowledge, not only about how to do your job better, but most importantly, you'd have learned how to leverage your skill too, a carrier and job for yourself. So I'm excited and happy to impact my experience to you to be an importation of experience and less of theories. So I'm looking forward to a very interesting and engaging interaction with you. And of course, to also learn from you. And I can wait. Come on, let's get rolling. 2. Tips Trikcs & Hacks of recording video that every Video Content Creator Must Know: Hello folks, and welcome to the first class in the course which are flattered video content creation. Do it like a proof. This will be part one of a two-part cos. I need to be mainly for people, will record video or materials. For social media. In particular. This is because I've watched a number of amazing videos online with amazing content set for how those videos were recorded or edited. There were a few issues that I found with those videos that could have easily been corrected. Which somehow took a lot away from the professional outlook of these videos. As somebody who is a trainee TV producer and also produces content for social media than before. But actually, yes, work experience behind me. I thought that's why to teach. I explain to people how to film and edit. This video is to give them a much more professional outlook. We're going to be talking about some of the little tricks and tips in recording video. To be the cost one then cos two will be on editing videos to look like a pro. Then clustering will be on screenwriting. There's a difference between gets written anything or any script at all. And then writing specifically for the screen of a video. I'll be showing you some tricks of the trade in cost rate, which is screenwriting. So in cross one. So we're going to be talking about video content creation. Do it like a pro cross one, part one. The inside tricks, tips and hacks every content creator must know. So we're going to be talking about what video recording is more about unless off. Then we'll talk about the three basic in the sizes and framing and what each means and the implication. In post-production. We're going to be talking about the imaginary line and why it is important to know what it is. And at the same time why it shouldn't be a hindrance. There will also be talking about multiple camera work, the advantages and disadvantages. Then lastly, for part one of this course, we'll be talking about how to and tips on filming with a single camera and making it look like a multiple camera work. They are the end of the course. I'll give you a little exercise. So you go and attack. So we see if you've really understood what you've talked about. So let's go on and tackle question one. What we do recording is more about unless off on the Internet you see a lot of videos. So I just recorded for foreign, somebody has to, somebody doing something interesting and then record and upload this onto the internet. But for those who are doing specific content to provide a specific information, it's trying to provide professional services, particularly for money. They need to structure how you record your videos because we do record them to all extinct and purposes is an art of storytelling. So the first important to understand is that whenever you recording a video for your social media handles, you are essentially telling a story. Therefore, like any art of storytelling, you should know how to structure it. So that will attract or make the viewing of your video much more appealing. You will bear with me that not everybody is a good storyteller. Give a number of people the same story and ask them to tell it back. And each person would get the story in a different way and in a different format. So it is with video recording. You are not just recording, but you are telling a story with your videos. So there's the need to know some essential things that you need to know to enable you tell your story in a very interesting and appealing way. The number one thing I wanted to know about is the three basic image sizes and framing. In video recording, there are varieties of image sizes that you can frame your video in. Now with image as if we are talking about how big or small, whatever it is you framing or whatever it is you record it, looks on the screen. So for instance, if you look at this image, these are the various sizes that you can frame an image of, whatever it is you record any. And each. It's supposed to tell a different story about what it is. You add the recording. So we have the extreme long shot, which usually the center of attraction is usually a long way off. Then we have the long short, which is the person. The center of the attraction is a little bit closer to camera. And then we have the flu shots. We have the median flu shots. Medium shots. You have the medium close-up. We have the close-up, an extreme close-up, which is also often referred to as the Chaka. First as this will be a medium long shots. This long shots. This is a typical close-up. And this is what is typically a TrueCar. Usually, I typically took us depending on what it is you want to concentrate on. It could be of the face, the eyes like what we have on screen or sometimes on the mark or thought I'd guess just above the chin and then around the forehead, depending on what it is that you want the viewer to concentrate on. So these are the various image sizes, and each one is intended to add a specific effect on the viewer. So usually for anyone to introduce people to people is usually a medium long shot, depending on if it's, say, a monologue like we're doing now, there is a medium long shots or a medium shot. And then depending on fish stage or the program, you want people to get closer to you. You could get close to a medium close-up and what you want people to pay much. But as you go to a close-up in-between these, they are various directions that you, as the director or the one in charge or video recording will determine which emits that will best tell the story that you're telling. Whichever image that you choose. A specific thing about the story or whatever it is you are filming. So for instance, in the close-up visuals is used to depict closeness or to depict emotions, is like when you're talking to somebody and it's telling you a story or whatever actors. There are aspects of storytelling that you prefer to just sit back and listen to the person. They are aspects of the stairway. You pay more attention. And then there are certain aspect of store where you really want to look closely to the person's eyes. I got to see what is this that the person is feeling or to try and measure the emotions that the person is speaking with is the same thing. Whatever it is that you're recording, there's the need for you to accepting points, get closer to the person asset in peds, go back and relax and then asserting that you want to get closer to the person. Listen to what it is that it's talking about because that's pushing is AGA, very important or it is very emotional. And you'd like to pay much more close attention to whatever it is that it's been set up to you to determine those portions and give the viewer that visual. So it is up to you to determine which part of your story that I would like to pay close attention. Are you Like the viewer to pay close attention to? So in recording, you do this. The need for you to record in at least two or three basic image sizes are to give the viewer that variation image sizes. So as the passive is closer to the vest and feel relaxed, that residency much more intimate with whatever information it is that you're given out. Apart from that, the variation in image sizes also make their storytelling much more interesting. It is much more appealing to watch a story that gives you different aspects in variations in the image and aspect and angles of the same thing that is watching. So it is very important that you know this image sizes and try to record accordingly. Now that is the first step, but the importance of human senses, the second thing about image sizes is that it is very crucial at post-production at the editing stage. Because at the editing stage, as I've said, the more variations they are in your image sizes, the more interest in your video is to watch. If do have different images to edit with, then what happens, and I've noticed in most videos is that the film in one long, medium, long shots or medium shot. And then when they go to the editing stage, because there are no other in these sizes to choose from. The stack with the long medium shot that they used or whatever. It may say they used, the edit out, whatever they want to take out, and then they join all these image sizes together. Now what happens is this. When you drink the same image sizes together, there's always gotta jump cut, which is unpleasant flick. At the point of edits. It is much more appropriate if you drink two different image sizes together, or if you edit two different image sizes together from a long shot, you join it with a medium close-up or a close-up. That we, that transition on the eye is much more pleasant and smoother. Now let me show you what I mean by that. Primary people to come and realize that maybe, yeah, I sold his company to me. Wow. You must have the contract in Liberia. Yes. And so because he was leaving, he wanted to sell the company to me, but we didn't want people to know that. I don't want his family people to know that. That's what he has done. We sat down, we went on our agreements are for watching diamond, but I was able to play like what are all the money? He means times? Yes. He handed everything to me and he lifts that same material. This is how it can be edited to look like family people to come and realize that, yeah, steward his company to me. Wow. Let me see your master contract in Liberia. And so because he was leaving, he wanted to sell the company to me. But we didn't want people to know that. I don't want his family people to know that. That's what he has done. Okay? Yes. So we sat down, we went on our agreements are for watching diamond, but I was able to report out the money. He means times. Yes. He handed it to me and he lifts. So did you notice the difference? The same clip, the same raw footage, but edited differently. What's the difference? Is there's a very simple skill that I'm going to teach you to make your videos look better and more exciting and professional, where you can make the same footage, the same one long, boring single image shot footage. Cut me to look like a multiple camera work with different variations in the image sizes and even movements in the camera to make it look as if there's a pan and zoom when in the actual footage, nothing of that sort ever happened. Everything looks like a multiple camera work when in actual fact, it was a single camera work. So it's always important that you feel your material in as many different image sizes as you can. So that's when you get to the post-production stage, the editing stage, it becomes easier for you to vary your images and make your video look much more pleasant. This is something that you have to know, understand why and plan accordingly. Now, another thing I noticed with most videos is that this is not really a limitation as such, but it does matter. Sometimes it takes the shine or professionalism away from the video. It is what we call the imaginary line. Now with the imaginary line, if I record it to people, that imaginary line is supposed to be drawn between the ghost, between them. Let me show you what I mean. So this a typical, a basic lesson of the imaginary line. Now, if you are recording these two people talking, the imaginary line is a line that you draw across the two people. It passes through the two individuals or two people you are recording. Now, depending on which cell you want to place the camera, assuming you place a camera here on this side of the line. Anywhere within this arc, this 180 degrees, OK, that you place your camera. You have the person in blue will always be looking to the right of camera, and the pestle in red will be looking to the left of camera. Where you put your camera on this side of the UK or the 180 degrees, you maintain that same proof out of the blue person looking to the right. And then I represent looking to the left of camera. However, immediately you cross this line, suddenly the red person will be looking to the left of camera and the blue person will be looking to the right of camera. So you have to decide which parts of the line you placing your camera on and maintain that. So if you're using a die, one camera or multiple cameras, you can place the multiple cameras in a way from the line and any point within this arc. You'll be okay. You will maintain the same profile. You have this blue person look into their rights and their direct person to person. The rest are looking to the left. Now what happens if you're recording a single person like myself? When you're filming a single person, the imaginary line is supposed to be drawn through the person. Now this an imaginary line is not an actual line, is that yes. And align that to you. The person recording should have in mind. Now, depending on which side you choose to place your camera, or if you choose to place the camera on the line. Itself. The person will be looking straight into camera. Now that I look into the left or right, like I'm doing now, that imaginary line is supposed to be straight through me, gone to me. So you can decide either to place the camera on the line or to the right and left of the subject. And whichever side you put the camera on will determine which profile you have to maintain drew out the recording. For instance, if you put the camera zooming, you put the camera to this side of the line. It means the object will always be looking to direct off-camera. If you put the camera here. If we decide to put the camera here, it means that subjects will always be looking to the left of camera. So you maintain that perfect throughout so as not to get the viewer confused. So depending on which side or angle you want to place your camera, you have to maintain the Central Valley. If you put it to the right, you can put the camera anywhere on this site and you still maintain their profile. Or you can put a camera on this side. If you decide to put the camera on this side, you can put it anywhere here and used to be slaves to maintain the sim profile. If you are doing a multiple camera work, you can decide to place your camera, maybe the first camera. You can place the first camera here. The set, a second camera here. And maybe a tech camera. Here, are recording the theme subjects. But each will be recording a different image size. So you can have this one recording. It may be long shots, this one in medium shot, and this one in a close up. That's when you go to the editing stage. It becomes easier for you. If you want a close-up shot of the just select the material from the occlusal camera and then you edit with, we will have any problem. But what I've noticed is that Let's put our lesson is they are imaginary line. What are we most videos is that the police, they starting shots. The camera is looking to the right of camera. They suddenly, when they take the image that the person is looking to the left of camera. Now what that creates is confusion. The drug gets confused as to the orientation, whereas the passive system in relation to the camera. And then they keep on interchanging these different web in one, show the passage, look into the rest of camera in their nature doesn't look into the laptop camera. What that means is that during the filming, the personal started with the camera, placing the camera here. And then maybe because I wanted to change angles are some disorder. A person now shifts the camera up to this anger. And then films. Now from this angle, the pest is looking to the right. And then from this angle the business looking to the left of camera. So for instance, if I'm looking, the camera is on the imaginary line. I don't know if I'm to move the camera anyway to my rights, are also always maintain the proof. So let's assume that the camera, they have moved the camera to the right now. I'm looking to the right of camera right now. Anyway, I move this camera to this side of the line. I'll always be looking to the right of camera. Okay. Always be looking to the right of camera. Okay? But if I cross the line, now suddenly I'm beginning to look to the left of the screen or camera. Now you notice that now if I place the camera on these different parts of the line and edits, what will happen is that in one shot I'm looking to the right there. That's what I'm looking to the left. And maybe most people are not aware of this, so they just join the two shots together interchangeably. And you notice, I've seen this so many videos. And I think this one than that you should be careful of when you're recording a video. Choose one side of the imaginary line to place your camera on and maintain that. However, this should not be a limitation that in any creative work, these kind of rules are not meant to limit you this supposed to make you creative so that you can break this rule, of course, an imaginary line, but you do it creatively. For instance, people will intentionally cross the imaginary line to create confusion in the minds of the viewer. You know, I'd have to deliberately disorientate viewer. It is used so many times, particularly in action movies, where a person may be. Episode, for instance, is running away from people chasing him or air gets replaced and then gets confused as to where he is. So in that instance, you can shoot from different angles crossing the imaginary line deliberately so as to create that confusion that the actor or the subject is confused. You can use it in that creative way. Or even during filming of an interview of this nature. You can deliberately lead G10. You are crossing the line by doing it in one long pan, or a deliberate movement where the viewer sees the action of crosses the line in that manner, the viewer automatically orients him or herself to the change in perspective. So you can imagine I should not be a limitation. It will make you much more creative. You can break it in whichever way we want to create whatever effect that you want. But in most cases, if you want to maintain a correct, perfect. If your intention is not to confuse, if your intention is to maintain that attention of the viewer, then this is beta. That you maintain one angle or you stay on one side of the imaginary line so as not to confuse the viewer. So we've single people, the imaginary line goes to the person so you can decide to place their camera either on the line or two, either side of the line. If it's between two people than if I was talking to somebody, then the imaginary line will go through me and that person. And you can either decide to stay on this side of the line or to stay on that side of the line to record is up to you. So that's one thing that you should always be mindful of when recording a video. That's what I mean by knowing what the imaginary line is so that you know how to film appropriately if your intention not to confuse the viewer. That's one thing about the imaginary line. Now, our next topic is the multiple camera work. The advantages and disadvantages. Now, as I've already said, multiple camera work is just between two or more cameras to record the same action. Now, this is done mostly for the purposes that are isolated areas so that you can very different image sizes in your editing process. So usually you have the main camera, which will be positioned somewhere here. And this will be giving you the long shots. Okay, sorry for my writing. I'm trying to do this with their mouse is a little bit difficult. Then you have maybe a second camera. Notice that they are all on the same side of the imaginary line, which is supposed to go straight through the person. So this will be giving you a medium shots. And then there could be a pet camera or even more cameras. This will be giving you a close-up. So all these three cameras will be recorded the same action but in different image sizes. So that's when you get to the editing stage, it becomes very easy for you to choose whichever image that you want. Now the advantage of multiple camera work is that you have a lot of different image sizes to choose from. And this makes your work very interested to see with different angles to the same action. That disadvantage. The disadvantage, however, is that it is quite expensive. And this created a longer time editing all these things out. But at the end of the day, your wax looks much more interesting, much more professional. So if you can afford it, it is always better to use a multiple camera work. However, these days, the means and ways of recording with a single camera, like I'm doing now. And yet make it look like a multiple camera. Work with different image sizes to meet the viewing of your video. Much more pleasant. So this is what we call multiple camera back. So you can decide either to place all the cameras on one side or the other. Whichever side you decide on is up to you, depending on your situation or circumstance. You can place all your cameras on one side of the imaginary line. It's giving you a different image size. You can of course, cross lines in-between to still create variations in their angles and all that you can do whatever it is. Don't let the image cranial line be a hindrance. Rather make you much more creative. So that's what there is to see about multiple cameras awake. Now how to tips on filming with a single camera and making it look like a multiple camera work. Now, I'll be going into details. In subsequent particular, the editors, did. You see what I'm talking about? What I'm talking about will be much more relevant when we get to costume, which is editing videos. And I'll be showing, you know, where, how important social distance or when we get to that stage. However, because multiple cameras work, tends to be much more expensive, because you have to get three cameras. You have to either buy or pay for three cameras and all the lightens that needs to go with it. Probably. The crew that will be handy. It's camera, it becomes a little bit expensive. Didn't multiple camera away. But these days, you can do so with a single camera. And this is how to go about it. If we are let me clean this thing off. So if you are using a single camera, like I'm doing now, you can record one camera and then doing the editing stage, either expand or contrast the video into whatever size you want. So with what I'm recording now, later on, I can either expand or contrast this video and give it whatever Amy says I want and can do it virtually every record in whatever format you record with. However, if you are recording in standard definition, all high-definition, whenever you expand the video, what happens is that the outcome may be a little bit pixelated. Pictures don't look as sharp as they should. But scraggly standard deviation, I would advise that you try to simulate a multiple camera work when recording the standard deviation because immediately you start expanding the image, it becomes pixelated. So even when you join them, what will happen is one image looks up, the other, we'll look a little bit pixelated. The same thing for high-definition videos recorded in HD. Though the images will still look a little bit subduct still be some pixelation with expanded image. So the best format to recording if you want to use this trick is to record in for K. Now, a lot of cameras communities, they have the ability to record and for k. But if you're going to do that, make sure that the editing software that you're using has the ability to handle four key or your machine or a PC as the ability to 104 key images. This is very important. Otherwise, you'll find it difficult editing FOK material because it's quite a heavy fell. Now, for k videos are about four times the resolution of High-Definition HD video. So what that means is that when you even expand a fork a video, okay, let's see, from a long shot to a close up, you still maintain a definition as SAP as an HD video. So if I record a long shots, if I recall as I'm recording right now in for K. So even when I expand it, did you know to a close-up, the picture will still look sharp. And I'll demonstrate this to you in a second. But I can't do that with video recorded in HD or high-definition or standard definition. Immediate gras status for expanding the outcome will be pixelated, all pixels that looks up. So it's always better if you want to record a single camera work and make it look like either multiple cameras to record in for K. So what happened is that if you're going to do that measure, That's the initial angle is which record in their image. Image size. Recording is either a short or a medium long shot. That way, you can then vary the image sizes to either a medium close-up or a close-up to come. Now, if you're recording a very Titus in the close-up, there's no way you can contrast that video to make it look like a long shot. You have what you started with to play with. So if you're going to record a single camera work and make it look like a multiple camera away. Make sure that that video, the original material, is recorded in either a medium long, short, or a long shot. In that way, you can get in a close-up shots are closer. Image sizes from that starts in the post-op, or a made-up goes up in that way, you are limited. You can't do much in a medium, plus that's the best you can get at odds with, is either a close up or at your card has it. But if you coordinate, WE DO long shots. You'll have other images that you can get out of it. And I'll show you what I mean, how this works into detail when we get to the editing stage, and you understand what I mean by saying recording a single camera work and making it look like a multiple camera that will be in costume. So if you do this, make sure that you get a fork, a camera and this, this, there are many cameras you can get. Usually have four K written on it. Like this. This camera, the camera I use. Okay, so we have four K routine is, what it means is that it's recording for this, this style of recording is cheaper because you have only one camera to record. You can record with one camera from different angles. But usually that is more appropriate for scripted dialogue or script there the recordings where you can easily go repeat for the biases that you are recording because it is scripted. So you place one camera here, you record the long shot, and then you change the angle to a medium shots, they record the same thing. You repeat the same thing, depending on a number of different image sizes. You want to record the camera angle to do that. But if you want to do this upset, always do for a camera. We can record in four key like this one, it's already written on it. Although for the specifications, you know, when you're going to back, I'm going to do for the specifications. And then make sure you get a fork, a camera. And I'll be recommending various equipments and softwares that are used that are very, very, extremely beneficial. And you can check my profile to see some of the things that I recommend. And when you can get them, I'll put all those in my profile, which are links to where you can get all of their pigments that I use, or where you can get some of the equipments that will give you the kind of results that you want. So that will be the end of part one of this course. But then this is the project that I want you to undertake and then load it up so that we discuss film yourself or someone doing a presentation in the different image sizes and indicate which image size you will use at which point of the presentation and why. So either record yourself or somebody doing maybe a one-minute presentation or not more than two minutes presentation or whatever it is. You want to record a presentation or anything else of your choice. But to record this in different image sizes and then tell us why you recording the different image sizes and at which point of the presenters you use what Image Size and y. So there's the project for you. Load it up. If you have any questions, if you have anything you'd like me to talk about or dwell on. If you're in a mortification you want on anything, I'm always available, just get in touch with me. Next class which will be patched to video content creation. Do it like a pro. In that we're going to be talking about tools and gadgets you must have in order to make professional-looking social media video content. And then we'll be talking about the importance of knowing which production start to use for which project. Example, animation, point and shoots, talking head or documentary, product demonstration, scripted drama, green screen. Chuck are 0's, etc. These are different production styles that suit different production objectives. Will discuss all these different productions there so that you'd be in a better position to choose which one would best suit your objectives. And of course, we'll be talking about leveraging your videography skill to n 11 and opportunities that are available. Now this is very important because with every cos, I'm going to be telling you about how you can make money out of Gaskill. The same with this guy. As we add in this one. I'll be telling you how you can make a living or extra money with whatever skill or knowledge that you've gained from what we've learned so far. So datasets, let me know what you think. Let me know how you think we can improve this interaction or the course or the content better if there's anything else you think you would like to know more about, just let me know and I'll do a class on it for us to discuss and interact with each other. But I want to also learn from you. So I say I give these steps will be learning from each other. Thank you very much. Have a wonderful day, and I'm looking forward to seeing the completion of your project so that we discuss it together and have a good time learning together. Thank you. God bless you, and see you soon. My next video. Bye.
