5 Videography Tips for Beginners

[@BrianGG]

That last tip is so important. I see all these amazing videographers on KZbin who have very well edited and color graded videos. Naturally we compare our work to them because their content is so high quality but for a beginner it's all about learning one thing at a time; the professionals have been learning and practicing for years or decades.

[@keymochi_]

Agree 💯 the last point is really important

[@kennethdomingez7863]

Thanks❤️👍🏼📸

[@segura455]

You right.. I am trying to learn everything at ones

[@buffnipz]

@@segura455 It's crazy that to make a good youtube channel you have to be good at graphic design, sound editing, visuals, writing etc. I'm trying to improve at all of them for my channel and it's a never ending journey. I love it though

[@tehanireyes9956]

I looked up videography for beginners and your video was first that popped up! After hearing you say you had at free course I immediately signed up!!! I appreciate that soo much! I'm gonna try and learn. I'm mostly doing because I just don't want to forget any family memories. I NEED to capture what I can. My deepest fear is forgetting. So im glad to learn and take the steps to create memories for my whole family. Thank you for this.

[@honestdave9886]

Thank you for the spark notes my man

[@ivorydesigntrading]

The last tip takes it all, it applies on every idea you might have. Focus on the small wins, is good to look up to experts but only for motivation, dont let their craft overwhelm you.

[@1ROME5MARLEY3]

Free training course is clutch! Support the creators that support you! Instant like and subscribe. Keep up the awesome content my man!

[@zenzo2758]

I retired fully as a photographer, and always wanted to go into Videoography, these helped alot thank you!

[@livieegee]

Really great tips especially for people who refuse to learn how a camera actually works. I’m a still photographer who wants to get a little more into videography so this was great!

[@Dmogul]

100% great advice ive rented alot of gear lately because ive really wanted to narrow down what i will be using regularly before i go all in on buying something, but if i won the powerball id buy 2 of everything ..... even pentax lol. great video

[@FiaTheArtist]

Thank you so much for the amazing tips. I've been in the videography game for about 2-3 years now and I'm always looking to learn new things. This video is great for anyone. Also, HUGE bonus for the free course! Easy sign up, right to the point. Thank you so much Brandon!!! You gained a new, loyal subscriber and supporter!

[@devinmorales7782]

Knowledge is free people 🙌🏽🙏🏽

[@SuburbanK9DogTraining]

Lighting is key! I love that point. We have struggled so much with lighting. We have seen that our nicer camera takes more skill to use (which we apparently don't have) and we often get better shots from an Iphone.

[@christhompsonphotography6783]

Amen to not buying a lot of gear initially. Renting and borrowing saves lives, money and room.

[@Dmogul]

[@jojox1904]

Just watched this video and did the free training. Absolutely loved it, this was a perfect overview over all the basics and it got me really inspired and motivated to finally dare to start my own videography journey. I've been wanting to dive into it for a while but always got discouraged by seeing people that have been doing this for so much longer and it made me feel like I could never get to that level anyways, so I really loved how you made everything so realistic and showed that this is something that anyone can learn and you just have to give yourself time and put in the effort.

[@bwashmedia]

Thank you so much! I'm so glad the course helped you.

[@WyvernX_]

Have you put anything together yet?

[@jojox1904]

@@WyvernX_ Not really... :( Wish I could tell you otherwise but I keep putting it off because uni is pretty stressful and I have other priorities at the moment. It's still on my list tho. Lmao now I feel bad 🥲

[@WyvernX_]

@@jojox1904 Lmao my bad, I was hoping to have an inspiration story was all. There's no time like the present though!

[@dance2jam]

Brandon, I enjoyed this video (I am a beginner to video) and I am going through your short beginner course. It's not the first video I've watched on this topic, and I appreciate your quick summary style. That said, I am pretty sure you know this, but ISO does nothing to "boost the light" available to the sensor. I am also sure you are aware that the "native ISO" is the base to which there is no amplification. That is why it is the recommended ISO. In the film days it was an exposure triangle for stills. I understand why you would present it that way for simplicity these days. That said, however, turning up ISO is like turning up the volume on your MP4/CD stereo. The analog or digital data is already recorded. All you are doing is boosting the signal by adding volume, or in photography, adding gain/amplification of the signal already recorded based on aperture and shutter speed. Both of those entities determine how much light comes in. ISO just amplifies the signal after it is recorded above the base. Yes?

[@hen1588]

The free course was very helpful in understanding videography for beginners, thanks for the course. As an photographer it was helpful for the transition I am about to partake in.

[@pearceproductionss]

This is awesome, thank you! I was a film student for a while but I left after getting discouraged with the process and the industry, but I'm excited about my journey again and I've been studying video/film making tips in my free time before going back to school. A lot of the videos I've seen are excessive and redundant but this was extremely helpful. Thank you for sharing

[@welmasykes2016]

I am very confident in my ability to do photography and the idea videography is a bit scary. But now I am less scared and more excited. The guide on your website has answered all the questions that I had. So thank you and I pray that you will influence more creatives like me.

Your video is the first video that popped up. You gave great advice, straight to the point , very articulate, a free class, and a brotha 🙌🏽 I’d be a fool to not support! Thank you kindly! 🙌🏽

[@henrywestridge7298]

Would you recommend a video explaining the basics (absolute beginning) of videography, bits, lux, grading etc.. please

[@prithvijangid6472]

Thanks man, i tried that free course! I have no words to say how much it helped me

[@RobertGossCreator]

[@DeanReynoldsMusic]

Yow BW! I’ve just watched your free course. Bro, thx for offering! I actually watched and consumed it twice. You’re really adding value dude.

[@Hals-Ueber-Kopf]

Thanks for this great introduction

[@SuperDavidBrothers]

Thanks for this video Brandon I definitely appreciate it!! Can you please talk about which laptop is the best for making KZbin videos (whether it's Windows, Mac, or ChromeBook)? I personally use my Windows laptop but that's only because that's what I can afford not because I like it better than Mac or ChromeBook (actually I do like it better than Mac but again that's not the main reason, I already said the main reason). Also, I would like to hear you talk about what materials you need to make audio production (or music production I should say) and what the prices are for those please. Maybe you could talk about an application for both audio and video production too like how to use both audio and video production in movies or how to use it in like you said weddings (and you're already teaching us how to use video production in this video here), and maybe also talk about how specifically to use both audio and video production while making music videos or albums as well (like behind the scenes of how those people use those in their songs or videos because that's always been very interesting to me to see how people do that exactly).

[@shafakkhalil5797]

Hello my friend, I want to start photography, but I did not have a Panasonic P2 camera, and there is nothing on it about ISO, aperture, and lighting, and setting it so that no lenses are attached to it. I love professional photography, but I do not have money.😢

[@orangejjay]

Lighting is SOOOOO sexy! Messing the lighting, at least for me, is the coolest part. ❤

[@v.s4970]

How do I get the course I went on to the website but I can’t sign up there is two options to subscribe but not sure if that has video lessons I just want videogrpahy course

[@zaymax_7]

No i clicked on this video because A. Beginner tips with a c70 on the thumbnail hahaha B. Brandon washington

[@SuzetteButlercrafts]

Thanks for the info. My first videos were not so hot not because of bad lighting. It was because I was using a S6 tab which is blurry the camera is like that. I try do my videos in daylight these days, thats a big plus. I now film with my S10. It is very high quality, I love the way it works for me.

[@Clickshanks]

Best tip: start simple. Simple and polished always looks good.

Camera terminologies: 1. Aperture: Refers to the opening in the lens through which light passes. It is typically represented by an f-number (e.g., f/2.8) and affects the depth of field and amount of light entering the camera. 2. Shutter Speed: The duration for which the camera's shutter remains open, allowing light to reach the camera sensor. It is measured in fractions of a second (e.g., 1/500) and controls motion blur and exposure. 3. ISO: Stands for International Organization for Standardization. In photography, it refers to the sensitivity of the camera's image sensor to light. Higher ISO values increase sensitivity, allowing for better low-light performance but also introducing more noise. 4. Exposure: The amount of light that reaches the camera sensor, determined by the combination of aperture, shutter speed, and ISO settings. A well-exposed photo has balanced brightness and details. 5. Depth of Field: The range of distance in a scene that appears acceptably sharp in an image. A shallow depth of field has a narrow area in focus, while a deep depth of field has a larger area in focus. 6. Focal Length: The distance between the camera's lens and the image sensor when the subject is in focus. It determines the field of view and magnification of the lens. Shorter focal lengths capture wider angles, while longer focal lengths capture narrower angles. 7. White Balance: The adjustment of colors in an image to ensure accurate reproduction under different lighting conditions. It helps to remove unwanted color casts caused by different light sources. 8. Megapixels: The resolution of an image sensor, measured in millions of pixels. Higher megapixel counts generally result in larger image files and the ability to capture more detail. 9. RAW: A file format that captures all the data from the camera's sensor without any in-camera processing. RAW files contain more information and offer greater flexibility for post-processing compared to compressed file formats like JPEG. 10. Autofocus: A feature that allows the camera to automatically focus on a subject. It uses various methods such as contrast detection, phase detection, or a combination of both to achieve sharp focus. 11. Burst Mode: A shooting mode that allows the camera to capture a rapid series of images in quick succession. It is useful for capturing fast-moving subjects or capturing a precise moment in action. 12. Viewfinder: An optical or electronic device that allows the photographer to frame and compose the image before taking the shot. It can be an eyepiece or a screen located on the back of the camera. These are just a few camera terminologies to get you started. Photography is a vast field, and there are many more specialized terms and concepts depending on the type of camera and photography you're interested in.

tip 1 also.. there are so many budget gear items for those who really dont have much of a budget that is super solid... and man.. i def went lens crazy now im tryna minimalize lol

[@singulardude6453]

Ok hear me out I have a canon t6 so the lowlight isnt that good, and not having a flip out lcd screen upsets me when I’m filming video which is what I primarily wanna focus on. And If I have to switch over to Panasonic or Sony or something else so be it, I can just get an adapter for my canon lenses and still use them unless another canon camera is another option. I’m looking around 800$ -1000$ range (used if cheaper) considering I want to get a career in videography, what should I search for?Primary new focuses for a new camera are... 1. flip out screen 2. good low light capabilities 3. it shoots 120fps 4. and 4K would also be nice.
