Recently, I had the opportunity to create a video with professional lighting and an a7 r3 camera. The video was shot in a cafe called Demkhor and it was about how to brew coffee. The process included steps such as grinding and weighing the coffee beans. Before starting, I wrote a storyboard on a piece of paper which helped me manage and create the video quickly.
The videography style used in this video was b-roll. This means that instead of filming the subject directly, I captured footage of different elements related to the subject. For example, instead of filming someone brewing coffee directly, I filmed close-ups of the coffee beans being ground and weighed, as well as shots of the water being poured over the coffee.
To start off the video, I chose a nice establishing shot of Demkhor cafe . I transitioned into shots of the barista preparing for brewing coffee by grinding and weighing out fresh beans.
Throughout the video, I used hand transitions to move from one shot to another. This technique helps keep viewers engaged by creating a seamless flow between shots. It also adds an element of creativity to the video.
At the end of the video, I included a behind-the-scenes look at how we created it. This gives viewers an insight into what goes on behind camera and helps them appreciate all the hard work that goes into creating a professional-looking video.
In addition to creating this video, I also took photos during filming which captured a series of plans at the same time as behind-the-scenes footage. These photos were then compiled into a collection which was posted alongside the video on Hive.
Overall, creating this video was an enjoyable experience that allowed me to showcase my skills in videography. By using professional lighting and equipment such as an a7 r3 camera, I was able to capture high-quality footage that looked great on screen.
The use of b-roll videography style helped add depth and interest to what could have been just another instructional video about brewing coffee. By including hand transitions between shots and adding behind-the-scenes footage at the end, I was able to create something unique that stood out from other videos in this genre.
I hope that viewers found this video informative and engaging. Whether you are someone who loves coffee or just interested in learning more about how it's made, there is something for everyone in this short but sweet instructional film.
Thanks to hive and ocd, i found the motivation to do big things in a small town.
In conclusion, if you're looking for ways to improve your videography skills or want to create engaging content for your audience, consider using professional lighting equipment such as an a7 r3 camera and experimenting with different videography styles like b-roll footage or hand transitions between shots. With practice and patience, you too can create stunning videos like this one!
I'm still very excited to build my videography community on Hive soon so that it becomes a place to make creative videos and a place to learn and improve video making
