Snapchat allows you to use both photos and videos to send to your friends, family or list of followers. While both have their advantages, you could arguably make the case that video has more potential for business and that it will be better for creating something engaging and persuasive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But of course Snapchat video is only as good as the videographer \u2013 which in this case is you! The question is: how do you go about creating something on Snapchat that will be fun, engaging and professional looking instead of something that\u2019s awkward, grainy and kind of embarrassing? Follow these tips and we\u2019ll look at how to create stellar, professional Snapchat video content!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Invest in a Good Mobile Phone<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s got to the point now where you can\u2019t be a digital marketer and not have a great smartphone. Smartphones are crucial for updating your WordPress blog and updating people on Twitter \u2013 but now it has become even more important for creating live video, for taking photos for Instagram and for making Snapchat content. A good camera phone is what will dictate the quality of your story \u2013 so don\u2019t cut this corner!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Find a Good Angle<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s worth playing around with the front-facing camera a little to find what the most flattering angle is for your face. At the same time, you equally need to make sure you\u2019re holding the device the correct distance from your face and that you\u2019re being picked up by the mic well. Try making some video for yourself with the front-=facing camera and then comparing what the different angles and positions do for you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Find the Right Spot<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This is particularly important. If you\u2019re walking down the road then make sure that you aren\u2019t too near to busy traffic or noisy crowds. Likewise, if you\u2019re filming in your home then try and stand near the window but make sure the window is well positioned to light your face from one side. This is called \u2018Rembrandt\u2019 lighting and it\u2019s the most flattering way to light your face on camera. Brightness and lighting is just as important for video quality as your camera!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Use Filters the Right Amount<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you are using filters all the time, then it can be distracting and ultimately look a little unprofessional. There\u2019s a video of the Rock (Dwayne Johnson) speaking with one of the new filters on and it\u2019s hilarious. But it\u2019s funny because it\u2019s not something we see all the time and it\u2019s unexpected. This is a perfect example of \u2018less is more\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Have Something to Say<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This is important no matter what type of content you\u2019re trying to make! But it\u2019s actually particularly important with Snapchat because you are interrupting your audience\u2019s day in order to alert them to your message. If it becomes instantly apparent that you haven\u2019t put any thought into what you\u2019re going to say, then you\u2019ll find that your audience quickly becomes frustrated. Have a rough plan and discard anything that isn\u2019t engaging or captivating.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
