Looping.
Some of the best Vines we’ve seen are the ones that seamlessly loop over and over. Keep your eye open for a repeating motion, and time your recording so that the loop repeats without any major jumps. Holding still or setting your phone on a flat surface as your record will help you get a smooth loop. You’ll be rewarded with a mesmerizing replay. It’s like looking at a photo that moves!
Hold something over your lens so all you see is black (or white). Now quickly take it away. Doing this gives you a blown out image on your screen, which slowly brings an image into view. It’s kind of like watching a Polaroid develop! Check out our Vine that demos this idea.
Macros are especially surreal (watch this one by Cole Rise). Try shooting through a bottle or plastic for out-of-focus and blurry dreamy video. Use a telephoto to shoot from far away or a fisheye to shoot a rap vid.
Set your phone somewhere where it will stay still (flat surface or on a tripod), place a photo in front of your camera and record for a second or two. Stop, replace it with another and record again. Repeat!
Pick a shot that’s mostly still but has just one or two elements that move. Think, a room with a single fan spinning in the corner or a landscape with a river running through it. Check out Noah Kalina’s account for a couple awesome Vines that show off this idea.
Accomplish this one by editing together totally different shots. This can be to show your followers what you’re up to, or it can be totally fictional, like a mini movie.
You can make your Vines extra cinematic by holding something over your lens to create a black screen between shots.
Keep your phone in one spot, shoot in a place with consistent lighting, have patience, and you’re golden.
Pan across a space for cinematic drama. Try a dolly, a toy with wheels, or simply walking slowly alongside your subjects. Our very own Darby used a table dolly to pan across this dino conga line.
