Making a home video is not difficult as long as you have all the necessary filming gear and video editing software. The knowledge required to create a video is quite accessible for mastering.
Required technique
Any technique capable of recording video files is required to record a video. It can be a mobile phone, camera or camcorder. The choice of this or that means for recording can be associated, firstly, with the convenience of its use in shooting conditions, and secondly, with the requirements for the image quality of the future video file. Thus, if you need to create a high-quality video that depicts any subtle details of the image, then you should not use a camera or phone with insufficient shooting quality for this purpose. If you just want to experiment or you would like to capture some fact of your life, then you don't have to think about what to use to shoot. However, your hardware should be convenient for later reading data from it and transferring video files to a computer.
Script, plot, voice acting of the film
In any film, first of all, the script and the storyline are important. Of course, given that you are going to create an amateur recording, these aspects may seem unnecessary. However, it is still worth taking care in advance of what the video will contain, what is its structure. This information will also indicate the minimum length of the movie, and will also allow you to remember to record important moments when shooting. You can also come up with the text content of the movie in advance if you are going to insert it.
An important role is played by the soundtrack of the video. It should not be too intrusive, but also please the ear when watching. Sounds and music can be selected based on the script, then the voice acting will seem meaningful and help create the right impression while watching.
