We will explain how to make a video for the internet
in the simplest way possible,
without editing, without professional technical means,
and without special effects.
Press REC and 3 minutes later at most
press STOP.
We will distinguish two situations.
The first: You have a message, an announcement to make
and you speak directly to the public by looking at the camera.
The second: You collect a testimony in the form of an interview
between two people.
In practice, what can you film with?
You probably think that you need professional equipment?
Nope! You can use a camcorder if you have one.
You can use a digital camera;
Most shoot in high definition.
Or your smartphone, and possibly a webcam ...
Objects that you may own at home.
Let's take a look at the shot, that is to say the framing.
For a good framing, make sure that the eyes line
is in the top third of the image.
I represented a cut-out of the screen
in 3 rows and 3 columns.
If the subject faces the camera, it must be centered
and his gaze must be aligned with the top line.
If the subject does not look at the camera
but speaks to someone you do not see,
you have to position his eyes
at the intersection of the upper line
and one of the two vertical lines;
The left line if the other person is on the right,
and vice versa.
Very important: make sure to fix your camera.
If you have a tripod or a fixture, it's perfect.
If you use a phone or camera,
put it down so it does not move.
