Before you start to create your review, consider these good practices on how to make a good video:
- Make sure to polish the lens on your webcam (any textile should do well for this)
- Avoid direct light from the background, like daylight through windows or bright lamps
- Make sure there is enough light on the person reviewing (e.g. place a lamp behind the camera/computer)
- Avoid background noise (sounds)
- Check your microphone: when you speak in a normal tone of voice, it should be just below the red area (most video-recording software has a live sound meter with a scale from yellow, green to red)
- Remember to speak loudly and clearly and not too fast
- Look into the camera as you speak
- HAVE FUN!
