Ask yourself
What is the purpose of my video?
What tools and resources do I have at my disposal?
Can I do it myself?
1. Audio
Eliminate background noise as much as possible
Remove anything that might interfere with the mic pickup
Get as close to the mic as possible
Add pillows or cushions behind the mic
Test your audio
Use an external mic if possible
2. Lighting
Experiment with available light sources
Add portable lights to balance existing lights
Diffuse overly harsh or direct light
Avoid shooting against a window or bright light
Provide space between the subject and the background
3. Composition
Use the “display grid” option on your device
Adjust angle and elevation
Adjust zoom
Choose an appropriate background
Check the foreground
4. Being On Camera
Students want to see their instructor
Students are forgiving of imperfections (audio is more important than video)
Speak at a reasonable pace
Use notes instead of scripts
Strive for a conversational tone rather than perfection
Keep recording, even if you make a mistake
5. Review
Watch your video and (if possible) edit out unnecessary material
Use headphones
Rewatch it after uploading to ensure that it plays properly
