What is required tools for shooting YouTube Videos
Before you sit down to create your first video, you will
need to gather a few pieces of equipment namely, a camera, a dedicated
microphone, and lighting hardware.
While establishing your budget, remember a couple of things:
1. Camera Quality : It depends on the types of videos you
want to shoot. Today there are very cheapest way available to shoot videos.
Smartphone : In 21st century everyone has a smartphone,you
will be able to record fairly high quality videos with smartphones.
Camcorder : When you are certain, buy a good camcorder and
record your video with it.
Screen Recorder : There are many software and Android and
iPhone apps from which you can easily record the activities of your computer,
laptop or smartphone screen. Use such software and apps.
DSLR Camera : Digital Single-Lens Reflex (DSLR) cameras
include a wide array of devices, but generally entail a high standard of
quality. You will want to tend toward high-profile brands like Canon or Nikon
if purchasing a DSLR, but remember to ensure that your selected camera includes
video recording as an option.
2. Microphone : Audio is often overlooked when shooting a
video.
What is worse than
having a video where the audience can barely hear the speaker?
Usually, the camcorders built in speaker is not sufficient
in creating an optimal listening experience for the audience.
Considering investing in a better microphone, one that can
be positioned above the speaker, or one that is directly attached to the
speakers shirt.
3. Lighting : Lighting is crucial when shooting a video. You
see so many videos that lack proper lighting and contrast that any glimpse of
such, results in immediately exiting the video.
Using the sun or room light as your “lighting” is not
sufficient. Doing so can actually result in worse colour and contrast. To
combat this problem, purchase a camera mounted light or flood lights.
