Many people pay good money just to be able to watch videos about ghosts and paranormal beings. This is the reason why many people are hunting for ghosts and catching them on tape. These ghost hunting videos are placed on ghost hunting websites to be viewed by millions of users. These websites make money every time a person logs on to their website and clicks on the videos of ghost hunting. Many people nowadays are trying their best to make the best ghost hunting videos. Nevertheless, not all people know how to make a good video.

Make a story line

Whether making a ghost hunting video or making any type of video it is important to have a story line all the time. A story line will help organize the flow of the story’s thoughts and ideas as well as what the video makers are trying to expose. A story line will help formulate what types of entity are trying to be shown. Watching a video is like listening to a story being told where people elaborate on one specific topic.

Planning the set

Having a great location is a must in any ghost hunting video. This is because the location is one of the biggest factors in making the video as scary as it can be. The location can be an old, abandoned building, an eerie house or somewhere that is really spooky and dark. Lots and lots of spider webs can help make the place look scary. The set must also have some history of ghost activities.

Get the equipment

Although many cell phones nowadays have HD videos and features it is very important that the ghost hunters or the video takers have the proper equipment in catching everything on tape. It is ideal when different angles are shot that is why several cameras must also be ideally available. One must make sure that the equipment are in proper working condition and that there are built in and back up batteries since ghostly beings tend to drain the battery from fully charged ghost hunting equipment.

Lighting

Natural light is a great help in video taking or in making ghost hunting videos, but when these ghost hunters hunt at night they need certain lighting equipment. This allows proper visual production in the video. If there is no lighting equipment then they could also use night vision video equipment. This video equipment allows them to see clearly even when there is no source of light.

Edit is credit

Editing is always the key to better picture quality and better videos. This is because the videographers can cut the scenes when there is still no paranormal activity. They could also enhance and put some effects to make the video look scarier and spookier.

Places people! Places!

To make the video more realistic it is best to use live people going inside these spooky areas. As the facial expressions and reactions are more spontaneous, the video look more hair-raising. Their facial expressions can add to the kind of feel that video creators want to evoke chilling or creepy effect.

Making videos of paranormal activities and catching ghosts on the lens of the camera is not just fun and exciting, it is also a form of a revenue-generating profession. Like any other business venture, it is important to put in an investment before making some earning out of it. In making ghost hunting videos, it is important to use the proper equipment, the right people at the right time and place to make the video a successful and scary one.
