As I mentioned in my last post on An introduction to making property videos, using a camera requires a certain amount of skill and the best way to start this is by trial and error. If you havent read "5 Ways to make your Real Estate videos a success" these tips will also assist you before you get started.
Here are some pointers to get you started:
1. Move the camera slowly. Remember that you want people to be able to clearly see the images of the rooms and property in your video. If you’re using The Flip Video, move it even slower than a normal camera.
2. Start outside. Start your first clip of the outside of the house and then zoom into the entrance area.
3. Cover every room. Enter each room and pan from one side to the next.
4. Keep still when you zoom. Make sure that when you zoom in you’re not walking with the camera. Stand still, zoom, and then move the camera to the left or right, up or down.
5. Make sure you’re in the video. This is the ultimate goal but you need to prepare properly. Introduction is important: try keeping the same theme/detail in your introduction so people can become familiar with your videos. Then, write a small point-by-point script of what you want to say, and keep it short and sweet.
Once you’re finished making each separate video clip, the last step is to put them together to make a full video. There are several software programmes that let you do this, such as Windows Movie Maker if you’re on a PC or Final Cut Pro or iMovie if you’re on a Mac. Good luck!
