I talk to guys all the time that are not happy about how their videos turn out after they are done with them and they reach out to me see why. Here are some reasons why I think your videos suck....

1. You do not know how to properly run your camera with the right settings
1. Flip it to auto and run and gun (this will never end well0
2. At the very least learn to run your camera with manual focus but we recommend full manual

8. tight shots
9. angles
3. You aren’t producing the talking or getting any talking at all
1. This is something that a lot of the “bigger” productions dont do well and it isn’t hard
2. Formulate talking on camera that is conducive to editing

5. re-create if you have to
6. talk to the camera every chance you get.
4. You don’t pay attention to audio
