 Product videos aren't just for show - they're a powerful way to boost sales and make your brand shine, especially on platforms like Chus.vn and social media. 

And guess what? You don't need fancy equipment! Chus has a straightforward guide to help you create amazing product videos using just your smartphone. Let's dive in!

Easy Steps to Film a Winning Product Video:

1. Prep Like a Pro:

  • Plan your shots: Really think through the main steps of your product's creation that you want to show off. This will keep your video flowing nicely and keep people watching.
  • Lighting is key: Either find some good natural light or set up some extra lights to make your product really pop.
  • Keep it clean: A simple, uncluttered background will make your product the star of the show.
  • Stabilize your phone: Use a tripod or phone stand to get rid of those shaky shots. If you've got one, a gimbal will make your movements look super smooth.

2. Film with Confidence:

  • Sharp Focus: Tap your product on the screen to ensure it's in focus.
  • Mix Up Those Angles: Don't just film from one spot! Move around. Get in close to show off the tiny details, then pull back for a wider view. Think about how you'd look at it if you were holding it.

  • Smooth as Butter: Keep your phone steady. Slow and smooth movements are your friend. If you really want to emphasize something, try slow-motion.
  • Clear audio: If you're recording sound, find a quiet place. If you're serious about it, grab an external mic. Otherwise, just make sure there's no distracting background noise.

3. Edit & Share Like a Star:

  • Use whatever editing works: CapCut, InShot, or even just your phone's built-in tools.
  • Keep it short and engaging: Hit the highlights to keep people watching.
  • Spice it up: Trim, tweak colors, add music or text - make it look good.
  • Add subtitles: If there's talking or anything unclear, subtitles help a ton.
  • Right size, right place: Export in the correct format for your platform (e.g., 1:1 for Instagram / Chus.vn, 9:16 for TikTok / Reels).
  • Music that fits: Choose background music that complements your video without overpowering it.

Pro Tips for a Polished Look:

  • Stick to a simple background: You don't want anything distracting from you.
  • Find a quiet spot to record: Minimize background noise for clear audio.
  • Natural light is your best friend: Natural light looks authentic and flattering.
  • Keep the camera steady: Use a tripod or gimbal for smooth shots.
  • Build a consistent look: Maintain a consistent look to build brand recognition.
  • Don't be afraid to try new things: Try new techniques and pay attention to viewer feedback.
  • Get creative! Make your videos fun and interesting.
