Were you asked to record yourself giving a presentation or a course?
Below you will find a series of recommendations to help you record a quality video using just your smartphone!
• Record in a well-lit area.
• Avoid backlit or harsh overhead lights and, where possible, face the light source.
• Your face should be lit evenly and not have unwanted shadows.
• Find a quiet place to film the video.
• Avoid areas with ambient noise or echoes.
• If possible, use a Bluetooth microphone for audio recording.
• Make sure to tidy up the background before recording, removing any clutter or distractions.
•Record using the main camera rather than the front camera.
•Set the image ratio to 16:9 (widescreen) and position your phone horizontally.
• Position the camera lens directly at your eye level, never looking up or down at you. If possible, use a mobile phone stand to stabilize the phone.
• Aim for a "medium shot," where your eye level is near the upper third line of the frame, with a small amount of space above your head.
• 3–4 feet (approx. 1m): Ideal for desk setups, vlogging, and webcams to ensure clear audio and video.
• 6–8 feet: Better for standing presentations to allow more room for gestures.
