Video Production Tips
From Iskomunidad
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 is not encouraged. Other plain natural colors are most suitable for the camera.
- 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)
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.
