What Should You Do With Your Hands On Camera?
Ever wonder what to do with your hands on video? It's simple: keep them in the frame but not too much. Using your hands helps you talk expressively, but too much movement can be distracting.
Here's the trick: use your hands a little, not a lot. Keeping them slightly out of the frame lets you gesture without going overboard. This adds life to your voice and keeps things interesting.
But don't keep your hands stiff by your side; that can make you sound robotic. Learn from reporters—they use subtle hand movements without being all over the place.
So, use your hands to emphasize, explain, or add flair. Balance is key; it helps your message shine while keeping your audience focused. Use your natural gestures to make your point and keep your viewers engaged.
