Professional Looking Videos
WHAT YOU NEED:
➽ A camcorder, with or without
tripod
or a very powerful camera although be
careful if you are on the move – buy what
you can cope with/can aff ord to replace
➽ Professional video editing
soft ware
Corel VideoStudio or Sony Vegas
equivalent
➽ Some Royalty Free Music
I use all free music from sites like
Incompetech or Silverman Sound Studios
➽ A plan of what you want to share
From experience, a Canon
digital camera for £75 is
plenty po werful enough
to create a good quality
video. You don’t need
to splash hundreds of
pounds out on the newest
Panasonic camcorder,
just something that
is preferably 720p or
1080p as a minimum (HD
camera specs). Don’t buy
something that you would
be extremely upset about
losing – out and about
without a convenient adult
to carry things equals a
higher risk your camera
could get broken.
Also, don’t spend
thousands on the newest
Adobe suite if you don’t
want to. Corel VideoStudio
at £60 does the perfect
job – I have used it for
three years and have to
say it is very good for
everything I have needed
it to do. Windows Movie
Maker however doesn’t
really do the job for
