Hold your shots for at least 15 seconds, before you pan, zoom or go onto another shot.
That way you'll be sure you have enough video of a scene to work with later when you do your editing.
When you're starting out, silently count out the 15 seconds to yourself - "1,000 and one, 1,000 and two, 1,000 and three..." - to make sure you've held a shot long enough.
Remember that you can always take a 15-second clip and make it a 2-second clip during editing, but you can't take a 2-second clip and make it into a 15-second clip.
