Recording video - top tips

Sharing your story is a powerful way to support our cause and recording a high quality video will help get your message across to people more effectively. Here are our top tips to help you record your best video.

​

1. Hold your phone in a portrait (upright) position - if you have a stand or tripod then put your phone on that to make it more stable​

2. Find a quiet space with lots of light - this could be in a well lit room or outdoors

3. Switch your phone to the front facing camera

4. Make sure your face fills the screen with a narrow border around the edge

5. Get the light source behind the camera - face the window if inside or the direction of the sun if outside

6. Keep your video short. Try to aim for a 30 second video
