There’s no better method to capture your precious moments than recording videos. But do you know the tips to record good videos with your phone? Look at this article below and you will be “enlightened” !

Record good videos with your phone: It’s all about the way you hold your phone!

First of all, if you wanna record good videos with your phone, keep it horizonal while recording. Many of you may think that vertical videos can be better viewed on your smartphone screen. But the thing is, such videos suck when you view them on other devices! Laptop, PC, TV,… all of them come with a horizontal screen. So if you intend to view those videos on your phone only, you can shoot vertical videos. In other cases, horizontal videos will be a better idea, cause such videos are greatly viewed in any devices!

Secondly, hold you phone smoothly and steadily! The key is to use both hands to hold the videos! If you don’t find it stable enough, lean your elbows onto you body! It will make it much easier to record good videos with your phone! I’m sure that you cannot eliminate 100% of the involuntary movements but with this tips, at least the videos you recorded won’t be shaky or leave you with dizziness. In case you wanna move the camera to another landscape, keep your upper body in the same position, then move your feet to change the angle of your videos!

Third, use classic compositions in order to record good videos with your phone. The most basic composition is the rule of thirds! Many smartphones support this feature in the camera (grid). It divides your screen into 3 equal parts, both horizontally and vertically. The main interest of the video should be placed on the dividing lines. If you wanna record a person, put her or him in the position like in the photo above and you will have a good video!

Record good videos with your phone: Make use of the light!

Last but not least, make use of the light while recording videos! When you shoot outside videos, make sure you choose an angle where the sun is shining the scene you wanna shoot! If some objects or people in the video are too dark or bright, change the angle until the light works! And that will help you record good videos with your phone.
