Tips & Tricks:
1. Prepare. 📝
Write down your thoughts that you want to include in a video beforehand! It will eliminate uncertainty, so once you step in front of a camera - you’ll have nothing to worry about!
2. Introduce yourself! 👋
Now is the time to show off your powerful and unique talents. Whether you're a parent, pet owner, or dancer, show off what makes you, YOU!
3. Length. ⏰
The video should be 12-30s. Do not exceed the 30s. Brands will use your material for their ads, and the restrictions are quite strict about video duration.
4. Aspect ratio. 📐
Ensure the video is 9:16 in aspect ratio. Not sure how? You can use the InShot app, click “canvas” to edit the format.
More information on aspect ratios and resolution is here.
5. Light. 💡
Shoot in a well-lit place (preferably - natural light). Choose a non-distracting neutral background.
6. Give Yourself Some Space! 🌎
Keep a good distance from the camera. Just leave enough room above and around your head. You can turn on your grid (in-camera settings) for a 9:16 aspect ratio!
7. Camera level. 🎥
Ensure the camera is stable and at eye level. Use a tripod or just put the camera steady.
8. No filters. 🚫
Do not add any text, filters, social handles, or music to the video.
9. Branding. 🤓
If you have a product in your hands - make sure the branding/product packaging is readable. If not - just flip the video and you’ll be all set! ⬇️
10. Energy. 🙌
HYPE YOURSELF UP! You are the only one in the room and you are the director. Get excited with your favorite track, shake it off, and let loose. Imagine yourself talking to your loved one - keep eye contact and avoid looking away from the camera, bring passion to your thoughts. Confidence is key!
