HOW TO FILM YOUR VIDEO In efforts to help you produce the best video possible, follow these guidelines. Video Specifications Before you begin, adjust your camera settings as follows:
Lights! Choose a brightly lit area. Make sure there is no light source behind you. Ideally, there should be some light source on the face. Camera! Do not shoot a vertical video! Hold the camera in a landscape orientation. Use the back camera. The camera should be at the eye level of the speaker. Action! Look into the camera. Speak loudly and clearly. The camera-person should stand at least three feet from you. Make sure there are no distracting sounds around. Pay attention to the wind direction. WHAT TO SAY IN YOUR VIDEO In your Caribbean language, narrate the following: "Welcome to the Society for Caribbean Linguistics - SCL, where we Celebrate All Caribbean Languages through Research, Documentation, Analysis and Publications" |
