Study existing funny cat videos

Make a little research online and find out top funny cat videos and study them. Understand why they are so popular, what good points they have. You will also find some minus points. You will feel that the pet-owner shouldn’t have done a certain thing and if he hadn’t done it the video would have been still better. You can avoid those things while shooting and do those things which were good.

Have a correct lighting

While studying many existing cat videos online, you will find a faulty lighting. It is often seen that the cat has an extreme black coat and it is kept in a dark corner of the house, and most of its funny acts are not seen in the video, which spoils the amusement. It should also be remembered to avoid very bright light, which dazzles the film and makes the picture abstract. So, achieve just a correct lighting. You can do this with practice.

Don’t be a director

You are not a film director and are not shooting with people whom you can direct to do things you want. You are shooting an animal which is not aware that you intend to shoot a particular action. Generally cats look adorable and do adorable things. So, don’t order your cat to do an action, but just be ready with your camera to catch those cute moments in time.

Create opportunities

As you can catch funny moments with your cat in the camera, you can also create opportunities for it to act funny. There are plenty of things which attract cats. Cats are extremely inquisitive and want to know a lot of things. They are playful too and play with many things. You know which things your cat loves the most and keep them scattered haphazardly to catch its attention. A string e.g. is a simple, yet the most effective thing to bring your cat in a mood. Cats like to play with strings and you can shoot a nice video of the play. A mirror, a dance program on TV, curtains, woolen ball, and many such things make cat excited, and give you fantastic opportunities for shooting amazing videos.cat playig with a string
