Vlogging is a great way to share your passion and interests with your audience. It is also a great way to build your brand and grow your social media following. But before you start recording your first vlog, there are a few things you should know to make the process as smooth as possible.
Plan your content: To be successful, you need to have a clear vision of what you want to share with your audience. This will help you avoid getting into a rut and create videos that are both engaging and appealing to your viewers.
2. Record in landscape mode
Most websites will show videos in landscape mode, so unless you have something that would look better in portrait then it's worth recording in the landscape. Using the camera in this way is a good way to avoid black bars along either side of your video, and will make it easier to capture more footage in the actual video itself.
It's also a good idea to be aware of the lighting in your scene before shooting. As smartphone cameras have smaller lenses and image sensors than traditional video cameras, this can make it difficult to capture quality footage in poorly lit areas.
3. Optimize for noise control
One of the most important aspects when filming with an android smartphone is optimizing for noise control. If you're recording in a busy environment, it's important to understand how your camera and microphone will perform when there is a lot of background noise. This can make or break your video. It's a good idea to practice your content in different settings before you go live to see how much noise there is, and then use that knowledge to optimize for the best possible quality. Ultimately, optimization is a simple and effective way to improve your video's quality. It's also a good idea to test out the microphones that come with your phone to ensure they work properly before you start using them on live footage.
4. Optimize for lighting
When using a smartphone to vlog, it is important to optimize for lighting. Even the most powerful high-quality camera can't make a video look good if it is not properly lit. Practicing and playing around with the best lighting and angles for your videos will help you get great results. It is also a great idea to switch up the light and location every minute or two to keep your audience engaged. This will help your vlogs be more fun and interesting. The best part is that this technique works for almost any phone. Just make sure to test it out ahead of time. You will be amazed at how much better your vlogs can be!
One final tip is to check that your phone has enough storage for your vlogs. Having the right amount of storage will save you time and money, especially when you are making a lot of content.
5. Optimize for audio
The quality of your audio is one of the most important aspects of vlogging. If your viewers can't hear you properly, they won't be interested in watching the video. To ensure that your content sounds great, optimize your phone's microphone for the environment you're recording in. Eliminate background noise, such as wind or chatter, before filming so that the audio can be captured without interruptions. This is an especially helpful tip for vlogging in noisy environments, such as restaurants or busy shopping centers. Alternatively, you can use an external microphone for better audio.
