- Lighting: investing in a simple lighting setup will not only elevate the quality of your videos but allow you to shoot at any time of the day. Plenty of budget-friendly options are available on the market depending on what you’re looking for.
- Microphone: a microphone is worth considering if you plan on doing voice-overs or chatty videos. The enhanced sound quality makes a world of difference.
- Video editing software: editing software will go a long way, even if you’re just looking to make some simple tweaks. If you’re a Mac user, iMovie is an excellent option for beginners and, similarly, Movie Maker, its Windows counterpart.
