iPhone Video Recording Tips

Now that you know how iPhone video recording works, let’s talk about how to improve the quality of your videos. 

  1. Stabilize your recording – You can have someone hold the phone to record or you could prop it up against something or use a smartphone tripod.
  2. Place your camera at eye level so you don’t have to look up or down. Frame yourself in the center, but back far enough so the camera can see you from chest up (the news anchor position). Your face should be in the upper half of the frame. 
  3. Improve the environment’s lighting – Lighting plays a big role in whether your viewers enjoy the content. If your face is hidden by shadow or obscured by too much light, they won’t enjoy the experience.

Suggestion for the layout of the 30 second video.

  • 0-5 second mark: Introduce yourself and your company
  • 6-20 second mark: talk about your product and any expo special deals you may be running
  • 21 -30 second mark: invite the viewer to come out to the Show and include your booth number
