Prevent blurring

One of the most common mistakes people make when shooting video is blurring. Blurring of the image vertically or horizontally is difficult to see when the video is played, and in severe cases, the face will not be distinguishable. It is not uncommon for images that have been greatly blurred to be completely corrected, even if correction software is used.

Just by preventing such blurring of the video, you will be able to take videos that look like professionals. The most common way to prevent blurring is to use a tripod or monopod.

Another operation that is prone to blurring is zooming. When zooming up and out, it's important to do so slowly without changing the direction of the camera. If you change zoom and direction abruptly, it will be easy to blur. Also, if you zoom too often, it will look like a restless video, so it is also important to change the zoom by focusing on the scene that you are interested in.

If you are indoors, adjust the brightness manually (manually).

You need to pay close attention to the brightness in the hall. Indoors, the entire venue tends to be dark, and spotlights are often used at presentations.

If you set the brightness to auto, it will adjust to the brightest point, which may cause your child to appear dark. For events held outdoors during the day, there is not much problem with setting the brightness to auto.

Check the capacity of the battery and storage media

In video shooting, you also need to be careful about running out of battery. When the presentation or play is about to begin, if the battery runs out, you will miss the main video.

Another key to videographing is to buy two or three camcorder batteries in advance. In the case of professionals, it is common to prepare not only batteries but also multiple video camera bodies.

In addition, the higher the image quality, the larger the capacity, and there is a risk that the card will be replaced during shooting. Therefore, it is safe to prepare multiple large-capacity types of cards for recording video.

Take a picture before the presentation

Don't start videographing at the presentation, but try to shoot before your kids go out. This is because even casual scenes such as children getting excited in the living room in the morning or practicing will be precious memories for them and their parents when they grow up.

If you don't want to make a mistake on your first videography, it's best to hire a professional photographer.
