Tips To Create YouTube Content Video On A Limited Budget
1. Camera
When you are stepping into YouTube production, nothing matters more getting your first video published does.
Another fact is, you don’t need an expensive DSLR to shoot your videos.
You can get started with YouTube even with your smartphone camera.
If you think the quality of your smartphone camera is not good, you can consider using the web camera of your laptop or computer. You can also invest in a new-generation web cam; it does not cost much but delivers exceptional picture quality.
A web cam will cost no more than $20.
2. Tripod
Tripod is a tool that holds your camera still. It does not let the camera move or shake, and helps you create stable, highly-professional videos. And it frees you hand, so you can express your thoughts and ideas more effectively to your audience in your video.
If you are using smartphone for recording your videos, make sure your tripod is able to hold it safely.
You can buy tripod between $5 and $10 in your local market.
If you want to save that cost as well, you can consider learning how to make DIY phone holder on YouTube.
3. Audio
Audio is the essence of your video. So, you should not compromise on that.
Record your video and audio using your smartphone or web camera, and check the quality of its audio.
If it is low or has disturbance, it would be wise to invest in a Bluetooth/wireless microphone. This will enable crystal clear audio quality, and help you deliver your message to your audience more clearly.
A Bluetooth mic will cost somewhere between $10 and $15.
If you don’t want to invest that much amount initially, you can consider using the mic of your wired earphone. You will just need to set it up.
A new wired earphone will cost under $5 in local markets.
4. Lights and Background
If you do not have a dedicated space to shoot your YouTube videos, you can consider using nature as your background.
Out in the nature, there are natural light and naturally beautiful views. And the best part is, it does not cost you a thing.
If the nature of your YouTube video is indoor, you can consider using any peaceful area of your home for your background. You will need a couple of light sources, which can be your table/desk lamp or a professional shooting light. The latter will be quite expensive though.
If you do not have a table lamp, you can learn how to make a table lamp from YouTube using waste materials like cardboard and packaging wraps. It will just cost your efforts and time.
Place lights in a way to create a cool background effect. You can use lights to hide the mess in the background as well. However, you will need to test the light from different angles for this.
You can also use your smartphone flash light, which again will come free of cost.
And for reflector, you could use a white bedsheet or paper.
Conclusion
To finish your video and add effects to it, you could use free video editing software. Once you grow as a YouTuber, you should invest in better shooting equipment to deliver improved experience to your audience.
