♪ ♪ what's up, beautiful people? it is yourhomegirl, ms. shameless, back with another tech talk. and this video is all abouthow to shoot video on a budget.
Android video editor, you don't need all ofthese fancy expensive cameras. all you really need is aniphone, an android, an ipad, something thatrecords videos, and with all of the upgrades thatthese phones have been making,
you can get really goodquality at a really good price that has multifunction and purpose. i'm going to showyou how to shoot, edit, and then that wayyou can have a video that you can upload onto anysocial platform of your liking, whether it's twitter orfacebook, instagram, snapchat, blah, blah, blah. there are so many. ican't keep up with y'all. so let's get into this.
so the first thing you need issomething to hold your device. you can use a selfie stick. this one was onlyfive bucks on like amazon. bam. so you can record like so. make sure your lens is clean. bam. need a cloth. so i can record like this. but what if i need my hands? so i need another option.
you can remove thisand attach it to a tripod. which is the safest betto use, because it's sturdy and it's reliable. so here's my tripod.taking it off. screwing it on. goes like so. and then you just putyour iphone on there. or you can use this sucker.it's like a little snake. this, you can justput on a ledge. bam. and then you can record.
look, i have no hands. and finally, if youhave some sort of pad, whether it's anipad or a notepad, they also selladjustments for that, and this secures on, andthis screws onto a tripod. right now i'm going tostart filming on this iphone to show you what you canachieve with your phone. so once that is allestablished, once it's set up and your hands arefree to move and you can
create your videos, we have to work on theexposure on your phone. i have videos onexposures with your camera, but with thephone it's different. you just want toput the ae lock, so that's automatic exposure -- so you press onthe area that you want the camera to expose for. you can adjust the exposureby sliding up and down.
so i'm filming here on myiphone front-facing camera. see, i'm kind of dark because it's compensatingfor the light behind me. so everythinghere is even exposure, but for me i'm too dark. so if i hit on me, itwill adjust for my setting. but i have to lock ithere so it doesn't change. so if i hold down longenough, that comes up. and i can slide it to besuper bright, super dark,
depending on what lookyou're trying to achieve. and then leave it. there. woohoo. so once you have theexposure that you like, it's locked and it won't change, because sometimes if you changeor if you move in a scene, it will do exposures for if you'rewearing a dark shirt, say, and you're fair-skinned. it's going to exposefor your dark shirt.
it's going to keep changing. so you lock it,and it won't change. so you're going toshoot directly from the lens that's in your camera. i do suggest using the backcamera. it's better quality. you can use the frontif you really want to see. either/or works. there are other options forlenses, i.e., this lens case that i featured in aprevious tech video.
and they have all these lenses. they have likewide eye, fish eye. they even have a macro lens. and this is more forlandscape, outdoors. say you're travelingand you want to catch like the eiffel tower. this is where you can have fun. and they sell them online. you can also buy them aturban outfitters, best buy.
but there are options. but if you don't got themoney, just use what you have on your camera. now, the next step is lighting. you want to get yourself lights, and that could be a window. so you would face the window andhave the light fill your face. i have videos on lighting. you can click hereon the description box.
but you need a light source. and i suggest filming inthe day if you're starting out because that is,like, free lighting. or you can get theselights that i got on amazon, and they're really affordable.they're like thirty bucks. and if you just getlike a few of them -- i have two here. i have a diva ringlight and another light. you just need lights.
amazon -- i have linksin the description box. so those areoptions for lighting. natural light or studio lights. now, once you haveyour lighting situated, you can move on to sound. i find the sound that'sbuilt into the iphones, even androids --they're all pretty good. so you can just recorddirectly from your camera. and the audio, so long asyou're close to the camera,
is pretty good. but the minute youstart getting really far, it will start creating echo. so depending on the typeof video you're filming, you can either film theaudio while you're doing it -- there are thesemicrophones that you can use. i like this for road. it plugs directlyinto your camera. and again, i havevideos on all of this,
and you can justlike hide it in here. or you can recordyour voice after the fact, so you open your voicememo, record your voice, and then you lay thattrack on once you're editing. we'll get to that, okay? but for starters,you can use the built-in or a voice-over. all righty. so then you want toget your editing app.
so now i'm usingthe ipad so you guys can see what i'm doing. so i'm openingimovie, creating a project. you can choose movie or trailer.let's just go with movie. and i'm going to picksome photos and some video. create movie. so i have everythinghere. this is the timeline. and this isshowing you what we have. so now you can adjust things.
so say my video startshere. say that's too long. you can cut this. and it already addstransitions for you, so, like, talk aboutmaking your life super easy. and then you canalso move pieces around. so say you'retalking about this ipad. then you can put this there. and then you can alsoadd titles. title there. oh, look at all theseeffects, like reveal.
and then you put the title here. so let's call this"filming on a budget." done. look at all that, guys. oh, look, you canrecord your voice over it. that makes life somuch easier. let's do it. [beeping] filming on a budget. i'm going to showyou guys how to film
on these multiple devicesand make your own videos. let's get started. stop. you can also add music. clearly, this is not ag. elliott [ph.] beat. maya [recording playback]:filming on a budget. maya [live]: see, guys? and that's your video. then all you have to dois export it. hit done.
you can send it toicloud -- don't do email. or you can upload itdirectly onto youtube, and these are all the settings. you can go for 1080. you don't need4k. don't play games. boom. this is the android,and there are options here. it's not imovie,but you have videoshow, vivavideo and wevideo.
so you guys, play around.there are so many options. so, that is how you film andedit on three different devices. android, have fun. play with it. i'm not too familiar withit, but we did look for apps for you, so that'sin the description box. iphone, imovie, solegit. use it. it's perfect. and it's the sameprogram on the ipad. and it's reallysimple and easy to use. you guys, this isjust to get you started.
you can have somuch fun with this. be creative. havelots of fun. take photos. talk about thingsthat interest you. and then look andsee what you create. don't put a lot of pressureon yourself. just have fun. this is all abouthaving fun and creating and challenging yourselfto learn new, fun things on the tech talk. get your love.
remember to do you, boo. be shameless. the curtains absorb the sound.
