1. Quiet Location
2. Tidy Background
3. Good Lighting
How do I choose a quiet location to record?
Record at a time where you wont be disturbed by people or pets.
Have as little background noise as possible.
This is usually easier to control indoors than outdoors.
Close windows and turn off anything that makes a noise – fans, music, TVs etc.
Turn off all phone notifications.
What should I have in the background of my video?
It’s easiest to film in front of a plain painted wall.
If this isn’t possible please tidy the background as much as possible.
We want the focus to be on you not an untidy background.
How do I get good lighting?
Natural sunlight is best so stand or sit in front of a window in daytime if possible.
Have the light source directly in front of your face but behind the recording device (your phone or computer).
Don’t have the light behind you.
Try and get even lighting across your face.
