How To Shoot Videos Properly Outdoors
Does your video shoot call for exterior shots? Filming outdoors has many benefits to take advantage of, such as the location and lighting. However, filming outdoors requires certain elements to fulfill before filming your video. Reviewing the location, the time of day, and the types of camera equipment you may need are some factors into preparing for your outside shoot, so you will know if you need permits, an external power source, lens, or other equipment, for example. Don’t let the birds chirping, the cars driving past you, or the endless amount of rules and regulations you have to follow deter you from filming outside.

Are you planning on shooting outdoors?

In this clip from our video content course, we go over tips and advice to make filming outdoors a breeze.
Suitable Camera Equipment for Live Streaming
Live-streaming is a way for a more authentic connection to your followers and viewers. If you’re considering filming a live broadcast, make sure there is nothing on the technical side deterring you from having a successful broadcast. You’ll need the proper equipment to ensure a well-executed broadcast, because you don’t have time during it to change the battery or fix the WiFi, for example. Your focus should be promoting an authentic experience and providing content for your viewers. This article has created a helpful guide on which external equipment to buy for your live-stream video. The audio, sound and video quality are all important to video making, so using smartphones with an internal microphone, may not give you that professional effect. The article recommends using an external microphone, a video encoder that uploads your live video, an internet device for a strong WiFi connection, a battery power system needed for long streams, and a tripod. The article also lists a variety of camera types; external webcams, DSLR/ mirrorless cameras, camcorders, and action cameras. This list includes budget-friendly cameras, cameras that capture high-resolution videos, and cameras with many functions such as color correction functionality and time-lapse options.
