Producing

As far as audio is concerned it is important to scope out the scene in which you will be recording. The idea is to take note of the surroundings and the possible distractions that could ruin your recording. When it comes to picking the scene for visual purposes you want to make sure or at least try to pick a place that will allow you to be in control so you can have a wide range of choices with regard to the setting of your shoot. There are a number of shot types that can help you set up the scene, from extra wide shot to close up and even over the shoulder or point of view(from the main character's perspective). If you are on camera try to be animated but keep it natural, be yourself and always remember to make eye contact with the camera. If you are the one running the camera and you need some action shots, say you're chasing some predator during a hunt, you can use a shoulder stabilizer brace that will help with your run n' gun method and it can be used while standing still by just simply bringing it to rest on your shoulder, oh, and don't forget to turn the camera on!
