Don’t Talk While You Are 
Recording.
 Hearing instructions 
or parts of a conversation 
detracts from your video. 
Remember, the mic is on 
the camcorder which means 
your voice will drown out 
environment sounds. 
Consider Dramatic Low-
Light Shots.
 Play with your 
camcorder’s settings before 
your trip so you’re not afraid 
to shoot twilight and sunset 
shots. Some camcorders feature 
technologies that ensure crisp 
images even in low light.
Create A Travelogue.
 Write 
down the date, time of day and 
where you’re shooting so you 
can put together a storyline 
later when editing your video. 
Some camcorders feature 
a built-in GPS receiver that 
automatically tags your current 
location and date while you’re 
shooting.
Be Prepared. 
Always have 
charged batteries and extra 
memory card or blank media 
for your camcorder ready to go.
Keep Your Shot Steady. 
Cup your hands around your 
camcorder to compensate 
for camera shake. Some 
camcorders have a stabilizing 
feature that keeps your  
shots smooth.
