Part 2 - Essential Tips to Record/Shoot an Engaging Tasty Video

Like yummy foods have their secret recipes, and recording an engaging food video is no exception. In this part, we aim at those essential tips to record a great food video.

1. Choose Where to Shoot Tasty Video for Foods & Drinks. (Lights)

Only with enough lights can your video show color, brightness & freshness. A dim environment often ruins food video quality.

So when you shoot a tasty recipe video indoor, you need to consider lights. Choose a video spot near a window with abundant natural light. Or, if you insist, you can set up lights indoor, like a professional vlogger does.

2. Shoot Vertically, from High Top to The Board, Bowl or Pan

Abandon the standard way to record a cook video. Instead, fix your camera or smartphone on the top where you cook, recording what's going on in the bottom. This way, audiences can see all recipes & cooking details in an overhead view.

3. Keep Your Camera Closer

Want to show how tasty your food is? Try moving your shooting device closer, or replacing with a longer focal length, so that yummy details get displayed.

4. The Importance of Choosing Plates

Foods served in different plates will have a vast difference in video performance. When recording a tasty video, all white or all black plates always perform better than other kinds, and they are ideal plates to record a tasty video for foods and drinks.

Another thing, the simpler the plate is, the better experience viewers have. You'd better not use plates that have prints, since potentially those prints will get audiences attention away from your cooking.

5. Tricks of Table and Table Cloth

Choose a right table. For example, a texture table will reflect how yummy foods are, or how fresh your food materials/ingredients are. Besides, its wooden color will "rhyme" with food colors.

If you think your table isn't ideal for recording a cook video, no need to buy a new one. A table cloth in texture or a single color will save your scene.

6. Keep Your Frame Simple

Don't make your table look complicated or stuff it with other foods. It will ruin the beautify of food cooking and make your picture intricate. - Just frame the ingredients that you are using now.

7. Use Scripts and Voiceovers When Necessary

Especially for recipe videos, it's necessary to list ingredients, favors or other recipes that you are putting in the pan/pot/boiler. Video text scripts and voiceovers will be necessary. Also, some video editors, like FlexClip, can help add them in editing food video.
