If your amateur filming never quite captures the magic of an event, try these tricks :
Create a story
If you're filming a birthday party, talk to whomever made the cake or is providing the entertainment
Dont rely on what people say.
Add your own narration as you film.
Choose the right light.
Avoid filming high contrast situations, such as people backlit by the sun, or low-contrast ( a dinner party lit only by candles).
Shoot with both eyes open.
Keep one eye on the screen and the other on the action - this will enable you to react quickly.
Give up control.
Lend your camera to a child or suspend it on one place for half and hour - you might get some interesting footage.
