Basically the article says that even if fonts don’t make or break your movie they do make a difference. They can make you look more professional and help relay your overall message. The four best things to remember when picking fonts is be bold, be careful when choosing colors, consistency is key, and stop short.

I learned that using consistency when using multiple graphic can help you look less like an ameteur. Also not to use cool or pretty fonts in they’re hard to see because it will make the video harder to understand. Choose colors that go well with the background, this will also help people read it easier. Lastly don’t write/ have them read to much, they may lose interest, if theres a lot to say it would be more entertaining to use a voice over.

In my upcoming videos I plan to use consistent titles, colors, and transitions in each video. Hopefully this will make my videos seem more professional. Also to continue using voice overs because they seem to be the best way to relay information without losing interest.

Using smart phones is a really good Idea because I you would use it all the time and any were you go.

“Recording good footage means keeping the smartphone as stable as possible. Fortunately there’s a wide range of tripods available for your smartphones, allowing you to capture the best footage possible.

Managing your sound is also important when shooting with your phone. Recording sound with a phone’s built-in microphone isn’t the best way to tell your story. The sound captured won’t be ideal and could harm the overall quality of your video. External devices exist to alleviate this problem, and we suggest using them. If you record with the internal mic, make sure you’re in a quiet area (limit background noise) with your actors close to the phone, er camera.”
