How to make a video of the baby’s first year?
Here are some tips to keep in mind when creating a video of your baby’s first year.
Duration
When making a summary video, it is essential to consider what we will use it for. Is it going to be projected in the background while the birthday party is taking place or at a specific time? Based on this, its duration can be defined.
The best thing to do is to make a short video that lasts between 3 and 6 minutes. In this case, around 30 or 50 images should be selected. Sometimes it isn’t easy to sum up, a whole year in a few minutes. However, the reality is that if you make a video that is shorter and less than 6 minutes, the guests will stop paying attention.
Photo selection
The quality of the video photos is very important, whether taken through a mobile phone or a digital camera. Therefore, it is preferable to discard dark, blurry or shaky photos not to affect the video’s quality.
On the other hand, individual photos of the baby can be included when choosing the right photos, as well as group photos where family members and loved ones appear. To add a photo on paper, you must first take a good photo with your phone or scan it.
Add videos
The selected photos can be combined with home videos of different moments of the baby. Today, any video editor can perform this simple task and create a great memory. In this case, the quality of the clips to be used must also be taken care of. In turn, you can also add videos of family and friends who surely have some lovely memories of the little one. To make it special, you can customize a baby logo and add it to your baby’s video.
The choice of music
You may have already decided on the song you want to accompany the video. Depending on the result you want to obtain, it can be more emotional or fun. You can choose a meaningful song or just one that you really like.
We can always resort to the examples if you can’t think of any option. If you search on the Internet, there are many options in the data banks where you can select beautiful and happy music to accompany the video.
Share the video with family and friends
A highly recommended option is to share the video with loved ones once the celebration is over. Thus, everyone can take home that gift with the memory of the best moments of the baby’s first year.
At the same time, it also allows you to share an essential celebration with those who live far away and have not been able to attend the celebration. On the other hand, it is an excellent gift idea since it is an economical, emotional and environmentally friendly alternative.
