Video Production Tips: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 11:00, 6 September 2013

These are tips intended for video production done by DILC.

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)

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

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

body font between 30-34 pts
title fonts between 38-44 pts
high contrast pictures and letters
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.
