1: For steadier shots you can use tripods. But don't think that just because the tripod has legs that it must be placed on the ground. Static shots and slow steady pans can be used with a stationary tripod, but for the MOBILE hand held shots, you can simply fold the tripod and aim it at your shot. The added weight of the tripod will help steady a lot of the camera shake. I had to learn this the hard way, and even now there where subtle nuances and tricks I am experimenting with to allow a substandard steady-cam type result.
2: The audio tracks need mixing so the result is a more uniform overall volume level. When adding the sound effects, voice overs and music, pay attention to the volume level of the surrounding clips so as to NOT over do or under do the end result. I am still wrestling with volume issues on sound effects and music soundtrack for my videobloggs. It takes a lot of time and patience to replay a scene over and over again during editing tweaking the volumes on all the different tracks, but it's worth it in the end.
3: Character placement is a small detail that makes a big difference when trying to keep your audience in the story. Remember there perspective of the action is only what they see from their seats, they are not there to see the surroundings in person.
4: Body position between cuts, try and take note of the position the characters in when changing camera views, especially if your only using one camera and don't have the freedom of overlapping different angles.
5: DON'T GIVE UP, DON'T GIVE IN, IT'S YOUR IMAGINATION SO PROVE TO THE WORLD HOW ENDLESS IT IS.
