Q&A for How to Create a Good Video

Try using iMovie and wait a couple of seconds for the camera to settle before you start filming. Also, try to get a stand. Try to zoom in as little as possible when you're filming your video because when you zoom in the pixels get bigger making the quality a lot worse.

Yes, of course! You may want to install a program like iMovie to use.

That depends on what you want your camera to be able to do, but I would go with a Canon 600 or 700D for starters.

It depends on your need. If you want professional editing and effects, use a professional editor. If you can do well with Viva Video, use that.

You don't need to be attractive to make videos. But if you're particularly sensitive about the way you look, don't read the comments on your videos.

A selfie stick is a good idea especially if you are making a personal movie or a vlog.

Even without a good camera, you can make a great video. One way is to make the video "about" being cheaply made, like the Blair Witch Project or the experimental films of Kuchar. If you aren't going for the D.I.Y. aesthetic, one way to make a cheap camera still look good is to focus on keeping the camera level, using a tripod or other flat surface. As far as editing goes, there are some great movies that don't have any edits at all, like Warhol's Vinyl or Snow's Wavelength. That said, you'll probably want to edit. Check out free or low-cost editing programs online.

Move the camera from left to right, although don't make it too shaky. You can also watch movies and see how, and also making the scripts nice and looking like a character would say in a movie.

The Canon 80d will do an excellent job for your video!

PowerDirector works well, but if you have a hybrid computer/tablet, it will crash.

Action, romance, documents, comedies, drama, fantasy, realistic fiction, and apocalyptic are all really popular genres right now.

Yes! Sony cameras are high quality, so you should have success with it.

You must have a verified account on YouTube if you want to add a thumbnail.

That depends on how you define a video that is the "best". But if you want to make a very good video, definitely edit the video, make it smooth, make sure it has good quality, and have it be interesting.

That's okay! You can use that aspect to make your video distinct, or incorporate it into the video. If you don't want to do that, there are camera lenses you can buy that attach to your phone lens to improve the quality.
