Here\u2019s how.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-keep-all-your-clips\">Keep All Your Clips<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When you capture drone footage, keep all clips instead of deleting the unused ones immediately. This will give you more material to rework into new content without having to reshoot anything. Let\u2019s look at some possibilities.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-don-t-discount-bloopers\">Don\u2019t Discount Bloopers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you post a video that took some effort to make, you likely have several failed attempts on camera. You can edit these fails together to make a bloopers vid to post after the initial one is posted. This can work well as follow-up content to a successful post to show the effort that goes into producing your work, or it can serve as a background for a motivational message to encourage people to keep trying.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-alternate-angles\">Alternate Angles<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Setting up an iPhone on a tripod out of frame to capture a different angle is a great way to add interest to your videos through different camera angles. Why iPhone? Because they\u2019re good enough to make feature-length <a href=\"https:\/\/www.indiewire.com\/2018\/03\/movies-shot-on-iphones-unsane-tangerine-shorts-1201941565\/\">films<\/a> seen in theatres, that\u2019s why.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That alternate angle also gives you footage to then use on other platforms as well. You could, for instance, shoot vertical video on one angle and horizontal video on another to give yourself footage for multiple platforms during the same shoot.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When doing this, pay attention to the background of your video from both angles so that you don\u2019t accidentally include anything you don\u2019t want in the video, like the other camera or lighting equipment.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re shooting a process video of something happening on a tabletop\u2014how to fold a paper airplane, let\u2019s say\u2013you could have one camera across the table pointed at the person and another to the left or right at a 45- or 90-degree angle. Another option is to film an overhead angle as well as a front-on angle.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The key is to move the second camera to a spot that captures something the first camera can\u2019t to incorporate additional visual information to the scene, rather than duplicating what the first camera sees.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-highlights\">Highlights<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Videos posted to YouTube tend to be <a href=\"https:\/\/contentcareer.com\/blog\/optimal-youtube-video-length\/\">longer<\/a> than videos on other social media platforms. Facebook videos tend to perform best between one to three minutes, while other platforms, like TikTok or Instagram Stories, are made for 15-second videos.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So how do you condense a 10 minute YouTube video into 15 seconds? You don\u2019t. Instead, you pick the parts that work best as standalone content and pull them out as highlights. This could be an insightful quote, an interesting visual, or anything else that catches your audience\u2019s attention.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Using this method, you could mine that one video for several highlights, giving you plenty of content without having to shoot additional videos, thus making one video investment extremely worthwhile.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-remix\">Remix<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you\u2019ve been making content for a while, you\u2019ll have a collection of similar videos. This could be things within the same category, covering the same topic, or things that just look similar. Have a look at all your clips, and pick out patterns or similarities. You can then use these clips to create new videos, such as Top 5 or Best Of style videos.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you\u2019ve been making videos for a while, you\u2019ll have plenty of footage on hard drives. Consider how it can be used to tell new stories or to retell familiar stories in new ways. You could, for instance, re-edit an existing interview or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.diyvideostudio.com\/talking-head-videos\/\">talking head<\/a> video to include interesting visuals that illustrate or complement the audio.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Video is a great way to elevate your marketing efforts. <a href=\"https:\/\/dreamitreel.com\/howitworks\/\">Get started<\/a> with great videos from the team at Dream It Reel.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Creating great videos takes a lot of time and effort, so it makes sense that&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":12755,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"content-type":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[209],"tags":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v21.5 (Yoast SEO v22.2) -
