Video Tip #3: Take Advantage of the natural Light If your project allows it, shoot in the more interesting morning, afternoon, or golden sunset light. Since the mid-day sun usually produces an uninteresting flat light and unflattering shadows, only shoot during it when an event or schedule situation demands it. If you have a choice, engage in another activity between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. and leave the shooting for the mornings and evenings. It is also worth noting that domestic video cameras give the best results when shooting in natural light conditions.
