redheart 7,440 Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 or you have experience in film making please give me some advice, what are some tips to avoid making cringy videos? edit: my main problem is I have this idea in my head and I have a perfect image of what I want to final project to look like but I don't know how to convey the story? like how to set an atmosphere and keep the viewers interested through out the whole thing I'm fairly good at editing, I did my faire share of editing and I know it adds more dynamism it's more like how do I achieve a decent look from the get go?

VANTE 4,595 Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 partially a film major (film analysis, that is) ummm usually the thing that tips off an amateur video is bad lighting. try and have natural lighting in your videos if you're a beginner and can't afford studio lights also uhhhh dont have cringy content lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hee_woo 5,194 Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Good acting can make the difference, and try to write realistic and meaningful dialogue (avoid typical conversations, every line has to contribute with the story or the character development). Try to have decent lighting and be really careful with the audio recording. You can pm me too if you have any question. I'm still a student but I do have some experience and was a judge for an international film festival. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
