Tips for filming

Here are some filming tips to help you submit high quality videos: 

  1. Make sure it looks good 
    • Use a tri-pod, or place your recording device on a sturdy surface such as on top of a book stack or a shelf.
    • Film in a well-lit place.
    • Make sure you're centered in the frame.
    • Try to get the camera as near to eye level as you can (we want to avoid low-angle shots as much as possible).
  2. Make sure it sounds good
    • Film your video in or near a silent environment.
    • Film multiple takes if you need to get it right. 
    • Playback your video and make sure that your sound input is good. 
  3. Don't worrry about editing
    • You don't need to make edits or cut down your video. The video team will make edits if neccessary.
  4. Have fun!
    • This is the most important tip! Make sure you have fun filming and let your personality shine through.
    • This will be a celebratory, upbeat video, so we encourage you to film with excitement and enthusiasm!
