Setup Checklist

Recording at Home Guide

Before you record anything, look through this guide to ensure you’re on the right track.

Your Camera

• Make sure your camera or phone is on a stable surface.
• Using the rear-facing camera.
• Make sure your camera is set to 1080p or 4K.
• Make sure the camera isn’t pointing up at you or down at you.
• Record horizontally with the rear-facing camera.
• You can record vertically with the front-facing camera (like a selfie) if needed.
• Ensure your face is centred in the frame. Don’t cut off your head!

Your Background

• Record in a well-lit area against a solid, plain background
• Avoid blinds, curtains, decor or paintings/photos.
• Make sure the space you’re recording in is quiet.

Your Clothing

• Wear solid colours that contrast with your background.
• Avoid patterns or prints.
• Neutral colours are always best.

Audio

• Please ensure there’s minimal background noise (cars, equipment or music) so we can hear what you have to say.
• Avoid moving around with your device so it doesn’t pick up any unnecessary noise.

Final Notes

• Please don’t alter, edit or compress the video in any way.
• We should only hear your voice on the recording, no music.
