Framing and composition: the shots that make a video look pro
Good framing is barely noticed, but bad framing jumps out.
Where you place your subject in the frame changes the whole feeling. Clean framing guides the eye and gives an impression of control, even on a simple video.
A few easy guidelines
Leave a little room above the head, avoid cutting yourself off at the joints, and turn on your phone's grid. It helps you keep the horizon straight.
Tidy the background before filming: a messy wall distracts more than you'd think. A simple backdrop puts the focus on what you're saying.
