10 Great Video Project Ideas for for Videographer Newbies

As a scope of videography one should expect to be unique, not all videographers are the same. Videographers tend to be categorized by their genre and appeal when making videos, but not all of them stands out because video making is good for newbies also. Videography is a refined art of creating and producing videos, video production is the main process where it all begins. Planning your productions takes a lot of time and patience; it requires a unique style of presentation and skillful eye to observe everything that is happening on a video.

Here are some 10 video projects ideas to refine that talent as a videographer:
Video Blogging Start a video blog, a video blog can be anything it fits all genre and this depends on your style. Video log as others may call it, the everyday story of an ordinary person can change ones thought in a day. I have been inspired to watch some video blogs on some bloggers, they even teach some points or two.Video blogging is easy; it only requires minimal set-up or none at all, you got to have a comprehensible accent (I' am not a racist), you talk about the things that is happening on whatever account you may choose, may it be news, sports, comments, opinions or debates. Making a video blog benefits both parties; you can boost your confidence, practices simple video editing (transitions, clips, apply footages etc.), and be helpful.
Tip(s) in making video blogs. If you want your videos to be recognized you should be helpful and friendly always. Act normal, or silly sometimes, even stupid if you will to put some drama into your Vlog. Plan and prepare the set-up, it doesn't need to be high budget, but try to be more outstanding with just simple backgrounds.
Biographies Research something about the person that is motivating; be inspirational about this one as well as the person you are interviewing. Biographies are good stories of a person living or not that is worth mentioning. Point out the strong and weak ideologies of the person, Create a scenario of the person, reenacts some life instances that is good for screenings.
There are lots of people out there that are worth mentioning, even ordinary persons doing extra ordinary things. The Artist: the Actor, the Inventor, the Scientist and the other few characters that is good to follow. Choose the best person to interview that you can relate to, and be open-minded.
Commercials Commercials are good ways to start a video making career. They are fun to make, and it gives you the brainstorming agenda of producing it. The primary objectives of the commercial project will be to inform the viewers in regards to the item, as well as encourage them to be interested to make a purchase about the item.
If you watch too many commercials on TV you will actually get the main idea for the script you are going to make. It's to provide the facts about the product, give it the three general rules of marketing. That is the Necessity, Benefits, and the Quality. Give them something to think about, it's good to have commercials that they (the audience) can relate to.
Travel Videos This is among one of the popular videos for videographers. If you are always travelling it is always good to record your findings, discover places and explore diverse cultures. Film your entire trip to the Sahara, or Alaska. Create a bunch of helpful tips and guides, and also some experiences good or bad from your travel.
Travel footage's, or shall we say it as Road-Trip films are created and directed individually. If you have friends coming along with you, include them throughout the trip. Friends are good time-wasters when travelling anywhere. Having fun is the main scheme for this project to work with, and informational too.
Cartoons and AnimationThis a good form of entertainment, creating and producing animated videos is good way to capture an audience. Storytelling is one of the best ways to communicate, especially with children and even adults alike. If you are an artist or cartoonist, this is a good talent to be improved with.
Animated video covers a lot of characters and genre, what's hard about this project is the requirement for software tools and the skill and experience to use them. There are a lot of software applications, also there are websites offering you to animate videos for free, the best thing about this project is that it pays of well.
6. Music Videos
Music videos are a good start to practice and produce videos. Making a story out of music is cool once you get the hang of it. If you love great music, you will even love producing videos out of them. Give them the story of the song; create the scenes and set-up those cameos for your actors/cast.
This is a good way to test your skills in producing videos. You can even be credited for the whole clip for such doing a good job. Music videos needs a lot of creativity, it needs attention to details and a good understanding of the music itself. If you want to produce music videos better start taking film courses and classes.
7. Outdoor Videos Visit a place that is unfamiliar to you; create a scenario out of it. Be creative and let the inner you take form through that video. Observe things that are awesome, for example. I once made a film about a snail for a video project. I know snails are boring, but what if you put some music and some scenarios the life of a snail isn't that simple you know. It crosses an open path longer than its body, and do you ever wonder what snails eat? That's for you to know.
Explore the beautiful nature and the way it changes; be keen to your surroundings. Making videos outdoors are good motivators to induce your audiences on going outside. Have fun creating the things that are unseen to others. Let them see the beautiful environments of having a walk in the park, going picnics, and having lunch with families outside. Go give them the wake up call to be outside and have fun.
8. Tutorial Videos Are you good at fixing things? Well, that can be a good way to produce videos. Fixing things is a unique talent, as well as creating something from trash is really worth anything. Video is an art, so why not create an art of fixing or creating items. It could be anything; fixing a phone, a stereo, a dvd-player etc.
If you're asking why it's necessary to film these things, the answer is, it's kind of pretty boring to watch a hand and a speaker talking in a video. Want a great tip? Fix the item with style, create a stop motion film of how you fixed/created it. Make them move, this is a good approach why? All you see in the film are tools moving, the moving parts of the contraption, you can emphasize the whole thing without explaining it, and just add good music to it that suits the video.
9. Sports Filmmaking Among the popular creating and producing films are sports footages. A sport is entertaining itself, you need little edits and it opens you a whole point of view watching it. Be the first to create a new sport, maybe you could capture an audience and they you give you credit by creating it.
10. Inspirational Videos One of the unique talents a videographer can have is the act of roleplaying. Roleplaying is not easy; it requires a lot of experience on a certain field. Capturing a certain scenario of storytelling can be a great experience; it can benefit both parties and audience. Inspirational videos require no genre, for it tells the direct story itself.Having created and interviewed a video about a fire survivor is an epic tale of self-preservation. Reenact the situation, give the audience a thrill and let them be inspired through that act. Beholding it not only dwells in the mind, but also through the heart, the feelings it gives to the audience when they watch it makes them feel happy and can also act like in the form of their will.
