--> SEARCH A NICE PLACE

We all know the importance of an appealing and invigorating environment. When shooting your video, ensure that the ambiance of the location is attractive. However, make sure that the screen space is not all that crammed up which makes you look just a mere prop. The background should amplify your performance. If you have too may distractions, then the viewer's attention would be distracted from your performance and you wouldn't like that. Isn't it? Pay attention to the room tone and ambient noise. It's important to avoid shooting in overly noisy areas, unless the background sound fits the message of the piece. In other words, if you’re shooting a piece on manufacturing, you probably won’t mind hearing the natural sound from that environment in the story. However, if your space has a hum, or echo, the microphone will pick it up also. Consider eliminating all the sources of sound.

Consider the Lighting

If you are planning to shoot your video outdoors, make an effort to shoot at dawn or at dusk. The light is more subtle which could give a dramatic effect.

--> SHOOT YOUR VIDEO

Always remember!! All the Pros were amateurs someday. If you are shooting your video for the first time, it's natural that you would be nervous. However, with a little planning, you will be raring to go. Whether you 'll be singing, dancing ,acting or playing any instrument, it would be a great idea, if you prepare the flow script . A proper timed script gives a proper shape to your video. Before you start hitting the much dreaded recording button, it would be advisable to rehearse your act a number of times. If you know, you'll be recording your video only once, you'll feel nervous. So it's best to record a number of times and consider the perfect bytes for submission. After all these painstaking efforts will pay off once the judges choose you and people would appreciate your work. Also consider showing your video to your friends for their feedback.

--> SEND IT TO US

After you would have registered with us, now send your video to us. Use the HOP android application app and upload your video after filling your application form.
