    7 Tips for Making Great Home Movies

    7 Tips for Making Great Home Movies
    One of my favorite things to do is make home movies. (Is "home movies" an antiquated term now? Is it "home videos" at this point?) But no matter what the motivation, regardless of the subject, no matter where it's shot, or what the intent is, every movie I make does have one thing in common -- I consider it to be art. No. That doesn't make me Scorsese. Far from it. But that doesn't mean I can't take pride in my modest endeavors. And if you're one who hasn't made a lot of videos, but would like to - I have 7 tips for you that I've found useful: - By John Cave Osborne

      Voice overs can be golden
      Not for everyone, I realize, but don't underestimate what a voice over here and there can do for your videos. Of my very favorite home movies, all but one features me breaking down the action at some point via a voice over. They're easy to do and can add quite a lot.
