Filming at Home

If you have been asked to record a video, here are a few tips to get the best end result:

  1. Choose a quiet, well lit space for filming. The light should be in front of you so that your face is well lit - ideally have the window behind the camera. Make sure there isn’t a significant light source behind you (such as a window or lamp or the sun!) which would make your face dark. If you can, record during the day rather than evening as the light will be better.

  2. Set a phone / tablet / camera or computer to record your video in landscape (not portrait). Position your device so the camera is at eye height, and close enough that there is a clear shot of your face and shoulders without zooming in. To reduce camera shake, find a sturdy position for your device/camera rather than you or someone else hold it. An upside-down paper cup with a slit across the top can make a remarkably good phone tripod (or if you have a tripod to hand, please use it!)

  3. Remember to smile and look straight into the camera as you record :-) Try to glance at any words or notes as little as possible.

    • If you need to look at notes or are recording a reading, find some way to attach these as close to the camera as possible (or have someone hold them for you). You might want to print the words/notes out in a large font size, or have them up on a second device (in which case turn down the brightness to avoid screen glare reflecting on your face or glasses).

    • If you are reading from the Bible, an alternative is to be holding your Bible in your hands so that it can actually be seen on camera, and you can then easily glance down to it when needed.
