After the filmography was fixed, the following changes were observed:
| Metric | Before Fix | After Fix | Change | |--------|-----------|-----------|--------| | Top 10 Videos – Avg. Views | 145K | 210K | +44.8% | | Click-Through Rate (CTR) | 4.2% | 6.7% | +2.5 pp | | Watch Time (Popular Videos) | 320 hrs | 495 hrs | +54.6% | | Cross-video navigation (clicks) | 1.2 per session | 3.4 per session | +183% |
Key Observations:
Fixed filmography relies on the cut, not the pan. Instead of panning from the host’s face to the product, just cut to a fixed close-up of the product. Jump cuts are the best friends of static shooters. They keep the pace fast while maintaining the stability of the frame.
Video codecs hate movement. When the whole frame is shaking (handheld), the encoder has to work overtime to redraw every pixel 30 times a second. This creates artifacts and blur. With a fixed shot, the background is static. The codec only updates the moving parts (the subject). This results in a sharper, cleaner image even at lower bitrates.
