If you're going to video yourself Here's some quick tips.
Tip Number 1 Put the camera at eye level.
This really puts you right in front of the camera like you're talking to a person and you're in a conversation.
It looks a little bit more amateurish if you're looking down into a laptop and you're shooting up someone's
nostrils unflattering.
Tip number two put yourself in the center of frame this Strozzi attention right on you.
Since you're the one speaking.
You can put yourself on the third if showing the background adds something to your story or you're trying
to create space for a graphic.
Tip number three.
Put yourself in a medium shot that way you're not too small when you're being watched on a mobile phone.
So how do you do all this if you're by yourself.
Try to find something that's your same high and put it in the same spot that you're going to be standing
in.
This tripod head is pretty much right where my eyes are and where I can stand.
So now I can make sure to get focus and frame up correctly.
It's also much better looking.
I mean some newer cameras have flipout screens autofocus and face detection.
Also some smart phones will do the same thing even when shooting on a smartphone.
Remember the rules of eye level and setting yourself unless you're trying to show something behind you.
