Tips on Shooting Professional Video

Want to create a cinematic, professional video for your audience? Consider our video production services at 2Bridges.

There are several ways in how we make great, quality videos for our clients.



Use Lots of Light


Many cameras don't do well in low light, especially iPhone footage. This is why you should use professional videography services if you have the budget. You'll need a pro eye and pro gear to get great results. The old adage - "you get what you pay for" - certainly applies when it comes to video production.

Emphasize Clean Audio


The film saying "fix it post" does not apply to sound. If you get the sound wrong, it will be very hard or near impossible to fix in post production. A simple hiss or an echo from a large room can be ameliorated to some extent in post. But very low speech or very high speech may not. It's better not to give your sound editors nightmares and just do it right in actual video production.

Limit Shaky Footage


Unless you are running and shooting in a parade, it's best to keep the footage stable. There are times where for stylistic purposes -- it's okay to have shaky cam. If you are doing a documentary style film or shooting a video like the show Parks and Recreation, the shaky cam is okay. However, for most corporate video production, it's important to have a steady professional shot.
