In today’s competitive housing market, real estate video is one of the most powerful tools for property marketing—especially here in Devon, where the landscape and lifestyle are key selling points. If you’re looking to make your listings stand out online and attract more serious buyers, working with a professional property videographer can make all the difference.
At Flow Motion Studios, we specialise in cinematic property videos tailored to Devon’s unique charm. Whether you’re an estate agent, developer, or private seller, these expert tips will help you get the most out of your next real estate shoot.
1. Use High-Quality Equipment
Professional visuals start with professional gear. As a property videographer, we always use high-resolution cameras, wide-angle lenses, gimbals, and lighting equipment to ensure crisp, bright, and well-composed footage. Quality counts—especially in property marketing where first impressions are everything.
2. Keep it Steady
Shaky footage feels amateur and distracts potential buyers. Whether you’re filming with a phone or DSLR, use a tripod or gimbal stabiliser to keep your shots smooth. A professional property videographer will always prioritise stable, cinematic movement to draw the viewer in.
3. Highlight Unique Features
Don’t just show the space—tell a story. Focus on selling points like underfloor heating, bifold doors, period details, or energy-efficient upgrades. We often start by identifying the 3–5 standout features that a buyer will love and build the video around them.
4. Film with Natural Light
Nothing beats the warmth and clarity of natural daylight. Mid-morning or late afternoon light (often called “golden hour”) is ideal. An experienced property videographer knows how to maximise natural lighting while avoiding glare and dark corners.
5. Include Aerial Drone Footage
In scenic Devon, aerial views are a must. Drone footage showcases proximity to the coast, countryside, or local landmarks—offering buyers a true sense of place. A licensed property videographer (like us) can safely capture stunning aerial shots that elevate your listing.
6. Keep It Concise and Focused
Your real estate video should be 2–3 minutes max. Long videos lose viewer attention—short and impactful keeps people watching to the end. Structure is key: start with an exterior overview, move room-to-room, then finish with neighbourhood highlights or a contact call-to-action.
7. Add Music and Voiceover
Background music adds emotion and flow. Combine it with a scripted voiceover or on-screen captions to guide the viewer and highlight key points. A professional property videographer can handle the sound design, editing, and scripting for you.
8. Feature the Neighbourhood
In Devon, lifestyle sells. Include exterior shots of local cafés, walking trails, schools, shops, or beaches. This gives your video depth and helps buyers picture themselves living in the community. As a local property videographer, we know what to capture to showcase each area’s best features.
Why Work with a Professional Property Videographer?
Creating a great real estate video isn’t just about pointing a camera—it’s about storytelling, lighting, editing, and understanding what buyers are looking for. A skilled property videographer brings all of this together to create content that not only looks amazing, but sells.
