  • Often the simplest is the most important. Great tips.

  • Another good idea is to use a camera stabilizer when on the move. I've been using a Cam Caddie SCorpion they're inexpensive and very effective!

  • Great video for beginners. Composition is soooo important. Great job.

  • if you place a person in the middle of the screen right between two vertical lines, would this be not following the rule of thirds? should we avoid this?

  • @j1mmyarts Yeah, i know he is, they just moved the camera so his face wasnt in the intersections right as he said to put the objects in the intersection. I thought it was kinda funny.....

  • @FyreHD he is following the rule of thirds there.

    you should put the objects on the intersections, so where the vertical and horizontal lines cross

  • "where these points intersect is where you want to put your subject"

    *camera moves to the side*

    XD

  • Another rule they should know is the 180 degree rule...
