Don’t Talk While You Are

Recording.

Hearing instructions

or parts of a conversation

detracts from your video.

Remember, the mic is on

the camcorder which means

your voice will drown out

environment sounds.

Consider Dramatic Low-

Light Shots.

Play with your

camcorder’s settings before

your trip so you’re not afraid

to shoot twilight and sunset

shots. Some camcorders feature

technologies that ensure crisp

images even in low light.

Create A Travelogue.

Write

down the date, time of day and

where you’re shooting so you

can put together a storyline

later when editing your video.

Some camcorders feature

a built-in GPS receiver that

automatically tags your current

location and date while you’re

shooting.

Be Prepared.

Always have

charged batteries and extra

memory card or blank media

for your camcorder ready to go.

Keep Your Shot Steady.

Cup your hands around your

camcorder to compensate

for camera shake. Some

camcorders have a stabilizing

feature that keeps your
shots smooth.
