How better to look in the video?

Proper lighting angle – a big effect

« If you had to give one tips on how to look good in the video, it would be about lighting, » the videoer said. When filming at home, he advises you to use the natural light, and unscrew your face into the window. Dim ceiling luminaires and face -to -face unwanted shadows should be avoided.

One of the most common mistakes is the lighting located completely above the head or too low, which causes the lower part of the face. When the lighting is just above the head, the strange shadows highlight not your eyes but the eyes. Well, if your face is illuminated from below, you can claim horror movie heroes. Lighting from below is unusual for human psychology, because our subconscious always sees the sun at the top.

« Try to make the lighting source, such as a window, if you do not have a luminaire, 30 degrees from the nose and 30 degrees higher than the eyes, if the lighting source is not the window. This will remain proportional to the face and you will look natural, » E. Mačiukas shared.

Outfit – get ready in advance

You should choose the outfit, fabric patterns, colors and other details before filming. You have to clearly stand out in the background where you will film: If the background is dark, choose light clothes, if light – you will see brighter with darker clothes.

Also, when choosing clothes, think about the fact that the camera « sees more than a person ». Carried tissue, variegated patterns (small dots, lines and other ornaments) can flicker and distract the viewer’s attention. Quality fabrics, monochrome clothing will give you a solidity to both your image and the message you want to convey.

Sweating – a particularly pronounced shot

It’s no secret that even professionals often worry about cameras and sweat. E. Mačiukas advises that it is easiest to hide sweat stains while wearing a jacket. This is not only a practical but also a stylish choice. « During the filming, try not to wear extremely tight clothes or synthetic fabrics, as they are particularly stimulating sweating, » the videographer warned.

Backpower

« The camera never lies, » says Mačiukas, « if the skin is shiny, if acne or other skin defects are visible, then the video is even more pronounced. This is especially important if the video is used for a long time. »

The clean, smooth face is not only beautiful, but also sends a message to the viewer that they are a self -confident person. In addition, the viewer will be able to focus on what you say and show, his attention will not be distracted by shiny complexion or other defects. That is why makeup is important for both women and men.

Sound quality

Unfortunately, even if you look perfect in front of the camera, but your voice will sound like a well, noise, echo or hissing around, nothing will help. A videoographer advises you to film in a quiet environment and use a microphone. « It is best for women to wear a small microphone at the central part of the bra, and for men, a shirt or jacket collar. This will help to ensure a clean sound. »

Filters are not needed to look good in the video, but you should prepare in advance. Not only will you look like this, you will feel good.
