TIPS FROM PRO VIDEO EDITOR (ONLINE COURSE) The two that really stuck with me: 1. Establishing shots: frame the scene then cut to more focused shots* (e.g., Seinfeld caf ) 2. Cut on action: natural transition* (e.g., chef chops knife down, cut to another shot where the knife is still down) *Unless you deliberately want to elicit a particular reaction
OTHER TIPS Modern phones often have a Live ( )/Motion ( ) Photos mode (Harry Potter ( ) pictures) Use it by default!! Use video rather than still images as much as possible to take advantage of the medium* Text should be minimized Show don t tell Plenty of other media for reading Pacing: steady* *Unless you deliberately want to elicit a particular reaction
