HERE’S SOME TOP TIPS TO MAKE YOUR VIDEO LOOK MORE PROFESSIONAL…
Background
- Nothing looks less professional than a messy or distracting background!
- If you’re doing your video from your home kitchen, make sure it’s uncluttered and clean – same if you’re doing it from work.
- If you’re doing your video at a desktop device in the home, please make sure there’s nothing too distracting in the background.
Lighting
- One thing to avoid is hard overhead lighting as it can cast unflattering shadows.
- Little or no shadow will create a more open vibe.
Audio
- Audio makes all the difference so make it a priority.
- Fuzzy, muted, or muffled audio is a big no-no.
- Be aware of any background noise that you might be picking up – traffic, birds, even the wind will be very distracting.
Avoid Shaky Footage
- It’s hard to hold a camera completely steady, so try not to hold your camera at all if you can help it.
- Instead, set your camera on a sturdy surface or use a tripod.
Use Your Phone the Right Way
- Record in landscape mode (that is, horizontally instead of vertically).
- Use the camera on the back of your phone. The front camera’s quality is not as good on most phones.
Work on Your Camera Presence
- Smile, especially at the beginning of your video. It makes a huge difference in how you come across.
- Slow down slightly when you talk and make an effort to speak clearly.
- If you feel jittery, try using props to keep your hands occupied.
