I'm working on my third vid ever (and my second in the Doctor Who fandom), so clearly I'm not an expert or anything, but I've picked up a few tips and tricks here and there. I'm not listing things like how to get episodes (my method is insanely complicated and probably very wrong), what video editing software to use (I like Final Cut Express even though it's probably way overpowered for what I need it to do) or anything like that.
No, these are just things that I've run into which weren't immediately obvious to me, but which made me go "Hm. Neat." Some of these (especially at the beginning) are specific to Doctor Who. Others (especially at the end) are more general.

- Fear Forecasts. These are minute-by-minute recaps that the BBC posts with each new episode (starting with World War Three back in Series 1), following four children as they watch (and are terrified by) Who. They can give you a good idea of when a certain event occurs in an episode, time-wise and they're really quick reads.
Series 4 recaps aren't collected in any one place as far as I can tell, but they're easy to find. http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/s4/episodes/?episode=s4_01&action=fearfactor is the Fear Forecast for Partners in Crime. Just replace the s4_01 with s4_episodenumber for other eps, so http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/s4/episodes/?episode=s4_02&action=fearfactor is Fires of Pompeii and so on. - Picspams - People are squeeful about great moments. What catches other people's eyes will probably catch yours as well. These can be great inspiration. Just be sure to leave a comment (where possible) thanking the poster for their help.
( More under the cut... )
