It very annoying if you discover that your footage is bullshit and it doesn’t make any sense, but don’t disturb
yourself, it happens to all photographers when they started and even me but I can authoritatively guarantee you that, the best way to avoid this mistakes in not to stop shooting but to continue shooting.
As a professional event photographer I will show you 4 common mistakes and in my next article those easy ways you can avoid them.
To become a professional on wedding image shoots, is not until you know everything but to follow the tip I just listed below:
1 – Panning and Zooming.
When you first start using camera this very basic error you have, no idea of the correct way of shooting professional looking video. It is easy to begin camera recording and just walk around and pan and zoom on everything that you see. The trouble is that their video will always look like home movies and will be hard to edit into anything that looks good. If this is you, without taking the correct skills this will never change and whatever you are shooting will always look like home movies.
2 – Shooting on Auto.
Similar to number one, this problem relates back to ease of use. It is easy to put the camera on Auto and expect that it will record everything ok. Good luck with that, but the reality is video cameras are very easily tricked by one of the many variables in the shots that you are taking.
The auto functions that you need to learn to use manually are-
• Exposure • Focus • White balance • Audio levels • Shutter
3 – Not Thinking.
You have to start thinking about what you are trying to achieve with your story and each shot in your story. Being able to shoot professional looking video is not easy, especially if you aren’t prepared to put the effort and the thought into achieving it.
4 – Not Practicing.
I don’t care how much I tell you or how much money you spend on equipment, it won’t make any difference to your footage if you don’t pick up your camera and start to use it.
Practices makes perfect
