Video Tips for Do-It-Yourselfers
HEAD HIGH, CAMERA HIGHER.
Best video position is looking slightly up from eye level so as not to be looking down. Good posture including shoulders straight and back and head held high gives the appearance of health, strength, confidence The camera should be just above eye level so you are looking ever so slightly up to the camera. Do not have the camera below looking up your nose!
STEADY, AIM, SHOOT
If at all possible, use a tripod or other steadying device to keep your camera still. Get focused and start the video.
PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE
Do yourself a favor and practice the presentation as many times as you can until you feel comfortable and get your timing down so that you get all your info in without rushing thru it and are able to speak clearly and confidently.
