everyone is an expert at creating a high quality videos on their own! Luckily, our video production experts have outlined the 4 Key Elements to consider when setting up for your 'at home' video shoot.
#1. Strive for Quiet
Choose the space in your home that is the farthest away from any outside noise, loud appliances, and other people in your home. Unless you’re using a professional microphone, even the slightest ambient noise can because a distraction for your audience.
#2. Make it Bright
When it comes to smartphone cameras and webcams: light = information. The more information you can give the camera the better. If your room is too dark, the camera will try best to boost the brightness, but this creates a lot of digital noise and image distortion – it may not be noticeable at first glance, but it will definitely be an eyesore for your viewers.
#3. Get Connected
Internet bandwidth is crucial regardless of what device you’re recording or streaming on. Ensure that you’re using either a wired ethernet connection, or have rock-solid wifi and/or 4G cell service.
#4. Keep it Clean
Check your frame, or what the camera is seeing, and make sure that your space is tidy. Too many objects in view or a cluttered work space can be distracting to the viewer and aesthetically unpleasant. You want your audience to focus on your message, not your messes!
