Do you want to start making videos? You want to start vlogging but you’ve got no idea where to start? So, here are my five tips for vlogging on your phone.

Tip 1 Prepare your phone

Now, this is very simple but it’s just about making sure you’ve got enough memory and space on your phone. Filming, editing, and saving videos can take up a lot of room. So, let’s just make sure that your phone is ready for it. If you want to try and keep the file size down of each clip, go into your video settings on your phone and select 1080p 30 frames a second. That’ll be a much smaller file size than if you were to film in 4k 60 frames.

Tip2 Check your battery life

No one wants the phone to die while they’re trying to make a video clip. To always film your videos landscape, never portrait. If you film videos in portrait, you end up with these black bars inside of your video and you post it on YouTube or Facebook and that looks shit and more importantly you can just fit more in the frame when you film landscape.

Tip 3 Lighting

It is probably the most important thing to think about. When making videos whether you just plug in or making a feature film, lighting is crucial. So, just make sure your subjects are really well lit. Avoid great big windows behind you and if you are still outside maybe avoid the Sun behind you as well. Turn around and have the sunlight on your face and it’s very simple but it does make a big difference.

Tip 4 Editing

It might sound a bit scary but it’s crucial if you have an iPhone, I recommend using iMovie. It’s really easy and it’s free to use if you use it. Android- don’t worry there are tons of Reddit and apps you can download as well and except for I don’t have an Android. So, I don’t know what they are time just going to put them all on a screen you can cover.

Look, so the basic premise with editing a video on your phone is, you import the clips, you edit the clips in order and then you export the video. If you’re super confused about this editing section, don’t worry there are millions of YouTube videos on how to edit.

Tip 5 Make a start

And, you just need to practice your xx video and guarantee will be far better than your first video. Steven Spielberg definitely didn’t make Saving Private Ryan off his very first Go. He probably made thousands of films and attempted thousands of videos before he produced something of that level. Just don’t overthink it. I would just stop filming. Whatever you can whenever you can, get your head around editing on those apps, get your head around posting on Facebook and YouTube. Just keep doing and you’ll get better.
