Cameras
Believe it or not, you have everything you need to make TikTok videos right on your phone. That’s right. You don’t need to buy any additional equipment if you have a camera phone.
You may, however, want to inspect your lens before shooting to make sure it’s clean and free from anything that could change the way your videos come out.
Because TikTok is a platform for vertical videos, best practices suggest shooting your video vertically to maximize screen space. Composition is also important, so be mindful of where your subject is in the frame. For example, it’s a good idea to have your subject away from the right side of the screen where TikTok’s icons appear.
Next up: movement. Consider moving the camera around your subject. This allows the user to engage with your videos in a more dynamic way. As you record, having the camera be mobile can make your video more interesting and shows viewers how creative you are. You could also shoot in new backgrounds or locations and show your audience something different.
