Tips for Creating a Video

You don’t need fancy video equipment to make high-quality videos. Creating content from your smartphone can happen anytime and anywhere. Check out these tips and tricks to get the most out of your mobile masterpieces:  

Prep for success: Make sure your phone’s lens is clean, and switch to “Do Not Disturb” to avoid distractions. 

All of the lights: Natural lighting is the key to quality. Be sure to steer clear of harsh shadows, especially near your face. 

Loud & clear: Although an external one is ideal, your phone's mic will do the trick. Keep your phone close, and avoid echoey sets for the best possible sound.

Action: Use the grid feature on your phone to keep your eyes in the top third of the video. Also, focus on your phone’s camera lens rather than yourself to avoid looking off camera.
