Use Your Camera Like a Reporter

How do you you make your speech or presentation more captivating and memorable?

There are, of course, a variety of techniques, one being to use your camcorder like a T.V. reporter would -- illustrate what he or she is covering.  

Like them use your camera like a notebook whenever you can. Show your subject or subjects, as much as possible, in action rather than trying to explain everything with just  words, words, words.

When you use clear -- relative digital video or camera shots you make it easier to lift your presentation out of the humdrum into something that is clear, memorable and motivating.

An insurance investigator who came to check our house before renewing our landlord's insurance policy recently showed just how easy this type of thing is  with the small camera he pulled out of pocket. It was little bigger than a cell phone yet  it enabled him to take vivid pictures in some very congested area to prove his point that our landlord had some repairs and updates to make to bring the building up to snuff 

Just make sure your  camera is top quality and your shots are pofesionional -- which might mean working with a professional photographer or "videographer" until you gain the skills you need or you update your camera.
