Before you start shooting your first stock video, decide on the niche you want to work in. When it comes to actual shooting, think about every shot and what idea it conveys. Make sure you shoot 4K even if you are to offer HD download — the clients prefer footage with high resolution. Start shooting in natural daylight, then get to top-notch lighting tools for night shooting. Avoid any processing other than basic fixes. And, finally, consider including people and filming from a variety of angles to make the footage more vivid.
