Creating 360-degree videos is the new trend and if you are starting to think about creating some of them yourself then this post is the right one for you. While on a holiday, most of us have started using 360-degree cameras to get a more realistic and immersive video experience rather than using the normal video recording style.

360-degree videos give us the feeling of reliving all those family moments in VR which is pretty amazing. There are a few tips that you could use in order to shoot a really great 360 degree videos and they are as follows.

1. Working with the 360-degree camera

The field of view of the camera is 360 degree so you can turn with the camera, however, the camera does not record anything to the back of it. The camera would take you on a tour giving you a really nice 360-degree view which means a view of things happening in your surroundings.

Make sure to record when everything around you is clear and as you wish it to be. Since it is recording whatever is happening in the surroundings to the camera, there is no such thing as posing for the camera since it would capture each and everything that is happening around you.

Just be careful that everything around you blends well and it is perfectly in sync with what you are recording. This is the first basic step you should look into before you start recording any of your VR videos.

2. Placement of the Camera

Now since the 360 video is to be made from the first person perspective, make sure that you have the camera at a height since it is supposed to give you videos from a first person perspective. It is always better to hold the camera and move it around to record as you like.

You can even keep it on something that is 6 feet tall since it would then feel like someone is holding it and again give you a first person perspective since the main intention of the 360-degree cameras is to replicate what someone saw with their own eyes.

With perfect resolution and recording, it is actually possible to experience stuff exactly the way you had seen it before. The 360-degree cameras are the best for the same reason, the experiences you get are freakishly real and once you get the hang of it, you will start recording all your videos in your 360-degree camera.

3. Get the perfect recording

In order to get the perfect recording make sure you move your 360-camera in all the possible directions and are able to capture each and every moment around you. Make sure that while moving the camera around you do not go too fast else the video is just going to look like someone rushed through while making a VR video, LOL.

Just move the camera around slowly capturing all the aspects and keep in the mind the type of camera that you are using while recording the 360-degree video. Different cameras have different aspects which you need to keep in mind and in order to have the best video, you need to know the important features of your camera pretty well.

Hope these three tips help you understand things that you need to keep in mind before you start recording a 360-degree video and how you can get the best from your 360-degree camera.
