How to Shoot Video That Doesn't Suck
Newly updated and revised, How to Shoot Video That Doesn’t Suck is a quick and easy guide that will make your video better instantly—whether you read it cover to cover or just skim a few chapters. It’s about the language of video and how to think like a director, regardless of equipment (amateurs think about the camera, pros think about communication). It’s about the rules developed over a century of movie-making—which work just as well when shooting a two-year-old’s birthday party on your phone. Written by Steve Stockman, the director of the award-winning feature Two Weeks, plus TV shows, music videos, and hundreds of commercials, How to Shoot Video That Doesn’t Suck explains in 74 short, pithy, insightful chapters how to tell a story and entertain your audience. In other words, how to shoot video people will want to watch. Here’s how to think in shots—how to move-point-shoot-stop-repeat, instead of planting yourself in one spot and pressing “Record” for five minutes. Why never to shoot until you see the whites of your subject’s eyes. Why to “zoom” with your feet and not the lens. How to create intrigue on camera. The book covers the basics of video production: framing, lighting, sound (use an external mic), editing, special effects (turn them off!), and gives advice on shooting a variety of specific situations: sporting events, parties and family gatherings, graduations and performances. Plus, how to make instructional and promotional videos, how to make a music video, how to capture stunts, and much more. At the end of every chapter is a suggestion of how to immediately put what you’ve learned into practice, so the next time you’re shooting you’ll have begun to master the skill. Steve’s website (stevestockman.com) provides video examples to illustrate different production ideas, techniques, and situations, and his latest thoughts on all things video.

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The viewer will give the video his time, and the video will give him an experience that he’ll enjoy. If the video gives the viewer a good time, he’ll even pay it by watching its commercials. But if the video gives the viewer a bad time, he wants out immediately. #2 The first step to preventing bad video is to accept that you must entertain or die. If you don’t, your audience will leave you. You don’t need explosions or nudity to entertain. All you need is competent, compelling video that intrigues your target audience. #3 Select 10 random YouTube videos and try to watch them all. Stop when you feel like changing the channel. How many seconds have you watched. At what moment are you bored. Why. What kept you interested. #4 Every video needs a clear intent. The intent is what you’re trying to accomplish when you make the video. A result happens after the video is done, and you don’t have much control over it. If your intent is to show absurd behavior, you can guess that when you shoot something that strikes you as absurd or funny, you’re on the right track.
