How to Learn the Basics of Good Camera Work:

Keep your hands steady when holding the camera, or get a tripod.

Camera panning means moving the camera steadily across the scene. Camera tilt is when the camera is panning up and down. I knew that already from reading scripts and I have proven that in my www.badcb.blogspot.com. I usually write about a scene and describe it, and I mention those terms.

He mentions framing, which I don't totally know about. He says to divide the screen in thirds and place your subject in it, and the person's eyes should be in the upper third portion of the screen.

How to Make a Home Movie with your Camcorder:

He introduces that most home made videos you find on Youtube are amateur. If you want to step up, and make videos of special occasions like a birthday, here are some tips.

Don't drag the shot on for longer than 15-20 seconds. Cut to a shot of something cute, then cut someone smiling, then cut away.

Put some music in it that's related to the video.

Shoot some coverage. For example, like shooting Christmas morning. Instead of shooting the kids opening present after present, take a break and cut to shots of the Christmas tree, or the house.

Making home videos:

The tips are like the above. Move the camera around instead of staying in one spot. Instead of shooting the action that's happening right then and there, get shots of different things like the decoration, the people.

How to Make a Movie Trailer:

A movie trailer is a calling card for the film. What is the tone of the film? What will hook and draw the audience in?

Get the best and creative shots of the film and put it in your trailer.

Establish the characters, and the story.

At the end of the trailer, put the one last line or shot that lasts a little bit longer and will leave a lasting impression on the audience that will want to watch your movie.

A trailer is usually 30sec to 2min long.
