How to Film yourself (Cinematic)

👇🏻 How to make yourself interesting, not boring, is to take multiple stages in one shot.

Essential equipment

1) Camera Anything you have

2) Of course, any kind of tripod can carry your camera weight. I personally use the Tilta VT05 of

The basic distance should be

1) Wide Shot tells where we are. Understand the atmosphere and context of the clip.

2) Medium Shot, the eye distance that looks like we are in that event, seeing the head to the waist, about what the subject is doing.

3) Close-Up The zoom pierces on the face or object to highlight emotions. Let the viewer really feel with us.

Take a variety of pictures, shoot in case before, and our editing will be easier.

How to manifest MAIN CHARACTER ENERGY ✨
1. Be alone on purpose. Main character energy starts in quiet moments. Take a solo walk without music. Put your phone down. Let your own thoughts echo louder than the noise around you. Most people are uncomfortable with silence—you’ll thrive in it. 2. Curate: Design your presence Caption: Eve
