Video Tips and Tricks
All the tools you need to record your assessments can be found on your phone!
Getting Started
All smartphones come with the ability to record video. With a few simple tips and tricks, you will be able to record and send the videos required to complete your assessments.
Before hitting the record button, it’s important to consider a few key factors.
Audio
Built-in microphones on mobile devices are very limited. If you can, try and get as close as possible to the source you are shooting. And make sure to listen for noises around you as well. Make sure there are no cars driving by or buzzing from lights – anything that can interfere with the audio signal.
Lighting
For the most part, cameras on mobile devices work better with as much light as possible. So if you can, avoid dark areas. And also, try to avoid getting the sun, bright lights, or windows pointing directly into the shot.
Shot Composition
On mobile devices, zooming is very limited. So if you can, physically move the camera forward, back or side to side, to fill up your frame. And try to stabilise the shot best you can. A good tip is too lean up against something. If you have a tripod or flat surface nearby, that will work great as well.
