These are tips intended for video production done by DILC.

Studio Setting

For resource persons and talents:

  • Confirm way in advance your schedule for video shoot
  • No green wardrobe please. The background screen is already green. Blue and white are not encouraged. Other plain natural colors are most suitable for the camera.
  • Avoid wearing clothes with patterns.
  • Please avoid wearing glasses, as they might reflect studio lighting.
  • Wear some make-up.
  • Bring your presentation materials. Better still, send them to DILC in advance for comments.
  • Highly recommended: practice with your script and slides. Time yourself.
  • To simulate looking at the camera, practice in front of the mirror (more on the point of practice)



Live Lecture

  • Use monitor facing the speaker so s/he doesn't have to turn to the screen to check or read the slides.



Slides

Slides will be incorporated into the video. We suggest that the slides will have the ff:

  • title fonts between 38-44 pts
  • body font between 30-34 pts. If you expect your slides or video to be projected in a large hall, use even bigger fonts.
  • high contrast pictures and letters or texts
  • make charts, graphs and the likes occupy the whole slide
  • If the slides are so numerous, group them into 20-minute long segments or parts. Recommended: introduce each segment or part in relation to other parts and the overall topic.
  • save presentation file as .ppt or .pdf and send it to DILC way ahead of time.
  • Choose an appropriate color scheme



Also get some tips on slides preparation (and some more tips).
