Most of us parents are not videographers but we all want to film our kids growing up. We want to capture those memories so that we can reminisce a few years down the road. These tips probably won't make you into a Spielberg, it'll just make you into a video dad or mom. There is no point having your precious baby as a speck on the screen with this overwhelming background of the pre-cast wall or your beautiful garden. If the child is blowing out his candles on his birthday cake also include his buddies in the video. The duration of a clip is the most important aspect in making exciting non boring videos. Of coarse some scenes such as blowing out birthday candles can be a bit longer. Instead of keeping the recording going for the full 5 minutes, stop the recording, change to a different position or angle and start recording again. Let’s say you are 6 foot 2 inches tall and you are standing upright taking videos of your baby crawling for the first time. Professional cameras with large zoom lenses cost hundreds of thousands of Rands. These cameras that zoom into soccer players on the opposite side of the field have very high quality lenses and are mounted on a sturdy platform. If you leave the digital zoom on you will be tempted to zoom into little Johnny's soccer game when he is on the opposite side of the field. This is when you start recording and rotate the camera to capture a panoramic view. Rather, record, switch the camera off, rotate the camera and start recording again. If you are recording a child and suddenly you want to now record another child who is behind you, first stop the recording, turn the camera around and then start recording again. If you are interviewing people at a party or function get them to talk into an external microphone. If you have to zoom into someone to interview them then they are too far to be interviewed.
