Tips for Making Smartphone Videos
You need to get a video out quick for a message. But How do you do it without looking very unprofesisonal.
Here are some tips:
A tripod is a great start. A steady film is a good sign of quality. Try positioning the camera at eye level or slightly higher, gives a better angle and helps your videos look a bit more polished. If you’re looking down you’re hunched over and it looks as if you’re stealth filming! 😊 Yes, avoid up the nose shots. Everyone looks better from an angle shot from slightly above. Adding some text/captions + a logo can go a long way! good tip! A small transparent logo or name in the top will pay of so good for brand recognision! Depending on where you wanna post it i'd always take horizontal videos over vertical videos, always always always. But ofc when you wanna do story videos its vertical. I'd get a tripod somewhere. I bought one of amazon for my phone some weeks ago. Was about 15$ and its absolutely great, has a small bluetooth remote to toggle. With a tripod you wont need to film you in selfie mode. You get your full HD video if you have a good smartphone. As well as positioning in front of the camera, i would try to not film from below or up but have a nice straight eye level as well as dont be too close to the camera. Of course in that case of being a little further away from the camera look that your background is nice.
ou need proper lighting and angles, shooting at proper angle in general and also specific to you, search out evenly lit shade outdoors or being in front of window light indoors, never in bright hot spots in direct sun with dark shadows, camera higher and not pointed under your chin, see a professional photographer for some headshots and learn some posing techniques that you can continue to use for your videos, and depending what where video is displayed, perhaps landscape orientation, and tripod :) It's better to have the proper lighting when creating it, it's not about a filter later :D good luck! here are a few factors for creating better videos, especially when filming with mobile devices & they have nothing to do with filters, etc. • Stabilize your camera/phone • Step back away a bit from the camera • Don't film outdoors if you can help it • Film in landscape not portrait • Upgrade to better audio • Upgrade your lightning indoors when you can • Look up the rule of thirds for photography/video.
Adding graphics, etc. can help add to the video. Just a quick screen grab of one of my YouTube videos. Manage Image may contain: 2 people, people smiling, beard and text 2 https://www.facebook.com/groups/socialmediamanagers/permalink/2505620809463854/
how did u add graphics. Is it a certain software? Yes. I use Adobe Premiere Pro CC however there are other apps (if you prefer) that can do similar additions. One of my favourites for mobile applications is called Videorama. I believe it's $20 for a lifetime subscription to that app. Not a bad deal at all.
Stabilize your phone. Then consider iMovie to spice up the video

In High School, the Kids Are Not All Right
With social and academic pressure mounting, a teacher shares what he’s learned about tracking his students’ mental well-being.
This article By David Tow summarizes a serious issue:
This article By David Tow summarizes a serious issue:
I lost my first student to suicide not long ago. The student was no longer in my class at the time, nor even at the school, but I was flooded with the expected surge of feelings: overwhelming sadness, periodic despair, compulsive frame-by-frame replays of our every interaction. I felt the loss deeply. It was unspeakably tragic—for the student’s friends and family, for me, and for the world I’d hoped the student would help shape.
"I was haunted, too—I still am—by the fear of a similar tragedy among my raw-nerved and anxious students," Tow says. "And the recent spike in teenage suicides in my area has underscored this fear sharply."
Based on my observations, the lives of the high school students I teach are hemmed in everywhere by social pressures and expectations: high-stakes testing, the looming shadow of college admissions, the fiercely competitive school system, the painful process of figuring out who you are, and the ubiquitous desire for peer acceptance. Add to this the unseen pressures—fractured or fragmented home lives, emotional or physical violence and abuse, struggles with substance use, legal problems, and the wide range of issues borne by the many immigrant communities across the country—and it makes for a period of unsustainable emotional distress. In recent weeks the constant pressure has meant dealing with student depression almost daily, and helping support those who I feel might be toeing the line of self-harm.
