Whether you are busy in doing your small business, or you just want to show the moments of your life to your friends and acquaintances, making and posting your Do-It-Yourself videos is definitely a good way to catch your viewers’ attention. In order to give your followers a wonderful experience, you need to spend some time on considering how to make Facebook video which can stand out. This article is going to show you some tricks for making awesome Facebook videos.
Tricks you should pay attention to
Be Funny or Be Touching
It’s recommended to use a camera to shoot a video with high quality, although it’s also OK to shoot the video using your phone. After all, editing, instead of shooting, is the most important step to make a video closer to perfection. As for the video content, a rule of thumb is choosing something which is both entertaining and funny. For example, children always think and speak with an ignorance of convention, which often brings lots of fun to audiences. However, sometimes a warm and touching event can have a more significant effect than a funny video, so you can make a balance between these according to your preference when you decide to make Facebook video.
No More than 3 Minutes
A video on Facebook can’t be too long, and it’s recommended to be no more than 3 minutes. In fact, it doesn’t matter whether you shoot a video with the duration exceeding 3 minutes or you shoot several video clips, for that you can trim or combine the videos before uploading them to your Facebook page.
Add Effects to the Video
It is a big plus for your audience if you add background music to your video! However, you can ignore this if you want to keep your original sound in the background. Most of the time, a suitable music in a video can help promote the video’s atmosphere, be it a jazz, blues, folk or pop song, etc. Apart from adding background music, you can choose whatever effect you believe will make your video fascinating, such as filters, overlays, and transitions.
