Welcome to this series of One Minute Micro-Masterclass BLOGS, where in less than one minute, you can learn how to get Comfortable, Confident and Credible on-Camera.
Please click on the video below to watch this Micro-Masterclass on “Stock Footage”.
In today’s Micro-Masterclass we’re going to talk about shooting some stock footage.
Having stock footage is really handy because it means you don’t always have to go out especially to shoot some generic footage of the context that you might be talking about.
At the moment I’m driving so I’ve got someone to hold the camera and allow me to shoot this while I’m driving.
The point is that, if over time you can build up a small compact library of stock footage, it means that it saves you a lot of time because you don’t have to go out the shoot fairly generic stuff for every video that you create, you can catalog what you shot and then you can use that in a video you make in the future.
We will look at ‘Aesthetics’ in the next masterclass.
