#Video Blogging ?

Video Blogging ≠ Video Ad

Feature stories of others

Engaging messages

Short videos : Facebook <1min – YouTube <4min

Tips from www.frapadoc.com

#Equipment

A nice camera with sound output

A lavalier microphone

A tripod

#Think

• Think about the editing of the video from the beginning : interview + illustrations

“How will be used my shots during the editing of the video ?

How will it serve my story ?

Which ideas is it illustrating ?”

#Interview + #Illustrations

• Don’t move the tripod once the interview started. If the person shows you something, make close-up shots after the interview.

INTERVIEW

ILLUSTRATIONS

#Positioning

• Choice of the place :

depth of field, ¾ light exposition, ¾ frame, diagonal eyes direction, microphone.

Direction of the eyes

Journalist

Interviewed person

#Frame

Wide body Italian American

Medium Tight Very tight

The different shots’ values (in orange the recommanded ones):

#Frame

Lavalier microphone on the open side

open side

Blurred background

closed side

• Check the focus : that the clearness is correctly made on the interviewed person and not on the background !

• In my case, I shoot videos with a frame rate of 25p (setting of your camera).

#Interview #Questions

• Be sure you’ve got the right interlocutor

• Write down name + job title

• Explain how it will go, reassure

• Always do a warm-up but keep it spontaneous

• Ask relevant “opened” questions

• Start wide and ask to specify if needed “What did you mean by that?”

• Try to make it short…think about the edition after !

#Softwares

• Free and easy to use : Windows Media Maker or iMovie (mac).

• Complete solutions : Adobe Premiere Pro, Sony Vegas, Final Cut (mac).

#StepByStep

5. Add effects 4. Import, cut

#Functionalities

Here are the basic functionalities that I usually use :

• Edit, cut and combine videos : https://youtu.be/xWcv_J-BVss

• Add titles : https://youtu.be/G0r2Vl60hgY

• Improve sound, reduce noise : using Audition https://youtu.be/wgvu4BCpS4s

• Remove camera shake : using Warp Stabilizer effect https://youtu.be/rsR0FVkUJrI

• Add transition effects : for video (ctrl+D) https://youtu.be/Z2gc04zzH0A for audio (ctrl+shift+D) https://youtu.be/4f_lZT65Fe8

• Zoom in and out : using motion effect https://youtu.be/vqD-LsKk9OE

• Fade in and out : using opacity effect https://youtu.be/-Ykv5Zujgbo

#Subtitles

•Create a channel on YouTube and upload your video.

•Connect it to Amara.org to add subtitles.

•Download the srt subtitles files to be able to upload them wherever you need then.

Why Shoot Edit Publish

#Insert #Websites

• Use YouTube « embed » code to insert your video in pertinent pages of your website.

• Share this embed code also to insert the video within articles published by others websites and blogs.

• More « views » and « likes » you get on a single video, better will be your positioning in search results : share a maximum and don’t dupplicate content.

#Facebook

• Upload also the video with its « srt » subtiles files directly on your FaceBook page.

• Create a playlist and feature one video.
