Think of the video you are making as a story book. Set the scenes, build the characters, narrate the story, then finish. Remember you can only use the vision you have shot, so keep that in mind when you are dealing with the camera.

Setting the scenario
The best place to begin in any video is with an establishing shot. This is normally a wide shot to give the viewer an idea of where you are and what’s happening. Other examples of shooting shots are on-camera introductions, where a person talks directly to the camera to introduce the video. Or you can use a graphic or title page, like ‘Susie’s birthday’.

Tell the story
Now you can start working with your footage to tell the story. You can put shots wherever you want them, imagination is the only key in making a beautiful video.
