- Use your cell phone or borrow your parents’ phone to shoot your videos.
- Shoot in vertical mode; this is how most people watch videos on their phones.
- Don’t zoom. Stand as close to your subject as possible.
- Use natural light as much as possible. Make sure you can see the subject you are filming. You may need to use a portable light source.
- Tell us your story. We want to learn what you do for your 4-H project. If you don’t feel comfortable speaking, you can use captions on your video.
4-H Alberta Agri-Tale Video Contest Tips and Tricks
- Tell your story with multiple videos. Instead of one long video, make a series of 30-60 second videos.
- Use the video features on Instagram/Facebook or use a video editing app so that you can add fun features to your video, like captions, stickers, music, etc. Remember to save/download your video if using Instagram/Facebook.
- Have fun! We want to learn more about your projects and we want you to have fun doing it. Good luck!
