There’s no denying that your property listings must stand out in a fast-paced online environment. The growth of social media channels has led to a corresponding demand for high-quality, inspiring videos that speak to consumers.
So, creating best-of-breed, cutting-edge walk-through videos are the perfect way of selling your property in Danville, Contra Costa. And because attention spans are becoming shorter by the day, creating highly engaging videos is a priority for property developers, sellers, and investors alike.
Here’s how you can create a perfect Danville walk-through video for your property.
1. Use your smartphone
While smartphones present a great option for making a walk-through property video, the quality of smartphone footage won’t match that of a pro with high-level gear. However, for your homemade video, this self-filmed footage may just get the work done, especially when you’re working on a budget, and you want to get the word out there about your property listing in Danville.
2. How to use the smartphone?
When using a smartphone to make a property listing, you can follow the following steps:
- Film all the clips in high-quality, sufficient-light settings
- Export the clips to your computer, laptop, or work desktop
- Stitch together these clips using apps like iMovie, Final Cut, and Adobe Premiere Pro.
By stitching together functional clips, you can add professional descriptions to communicate verbally about the various layouts of your property. Always review all clips before selecting or prioritizing them for the final clip.
3. Offer a 360°-degree virtual tour
It’s advisable and possible to offer a 360°-degree virtual tour of your property –whether commercial or residential. And while generating an end-to-end virtual tour seems a bit sci-fi, it’s quite impressive, especially when done rightly.
The 3-D virtual reality tour will enable your audience to navigate every section and part of your property through a full 3-D property walkthrough. And if you’ve ever looked at a company’s 3-D view over Google Maps, that’s exactly how it looks.
4. Plan for your walk-through video
Virtual video tours are the new norm, and it’s important to carefully plan for your tour before shooting.
So, plan for your video walk-through tour by doing the following:
- Prepare a list. Prepare a list of rooms and venues inside the property and decide what will be your focus in each of these rooms.
- Study the best features. Pinpoint or prioritize key focus points or areas of your property. Preparations for the most appropriate, most desired features of your walk-through tour will ensure that you only focus on the most important bits and you avoid errors.
- Clean the property. Clutter will discourage the viewers and prevent you from showcasing your listing in the best light. Viewers are drawn to good-looking and attractive environments and views. So, ensure that the property listing looks its best during the shooting.
- Stage the property. Sellers usually stage the property to look more appealing, especially in real estate property selling. This concept further applies to rental homes. Before staging the property, ask yourself this question: does the space look homey? Are there plants? And does the furniture fit?
These preparations will ace your walk-through video.
5. Properly set up your camera and tripod.
Tripods make videos appear professional because they eliminate shakiness. So, opting to use one will ensure stable videos and walk-through tours. To properly set up your tripod, consider the following:
- Straighten the perspective. Ensure you have an aligned and horizontal perspective. Tripods balance the weight of your camera, helping you capture straight and uniform shots.
- Select a landscape format. Always opt for the landscape format for a widely cinematic view and appeal. In addition, shooting in a landscape format is ideal for a wide variety of media, including YouTube. And this traditional tact is more appealing and comforting to your audiences.
So, ensure that you properly set up your tripod for uniformly appealing walk-through videos.
