13. Shoot to Edit

This particular “pro-tip” simply means that you should think like an editor when filming. When recording a scene, you’ll want to capture several angles and a few “safety shots”.

Plus, it will prevent you from settling for subpar shots that will make your work look unprofessional.

You can learn from our video editing tips, which include simple yet professional techniques aside from the simple cutting, clipping, and correction of video clips and audio levels.
