Top 4 tips for creating YouTube videos using your smartphone
Good lighting
Lighting has a colossal effect on phone cameras since they have small sensors and focal points. Record your videos in bright areas and have a lot of natural light, which will help you avoid any shadows in your footage. Avoid pointing your camera at the light directly, or you will end up with a lot of overexposed footage. You can control the lighting and focus on your latest phones with a tiny setting option that appears on your screen.
Stay steady
Users on YouTube do not appreciate shaky videos. You need to keep your camera as stable as possible while recording. Always use both hands while recording or invest in stabilizers, tripods, or stands that will help keep your phone still. Smartphone stands aren’t expensive, and having one will help you while recording long videos.
Audio quality
Imagine creating a great video with poor sound quality? All your efforts have now gone down the drain. It is challenging to get great audio quality through smartphones since their built-in smartphone don’t have a great range. You will have to try and shoot at places that aren’t noisy or too windy. For professional shoots on a budget, it’s best to have another spare phone solely for audio recording purposes. Today, many apps help you insert audio once the video is shot and edited; you can opt for this option too.
Use video editing apps
