Camp Cooper Video Memory
Video Guidelines:
The Camp Cooper memory video you are providing will be put into a larger video for our 60th-anniversary celebration. Please follow the guidelines below to ensure the final video project is of high quality and meets the necessary standards.
- Lighting: Record in a well-lit area. Natural light is best, but make sure the primary light source is in front of you, not behind.
- Stability: Use a tripod or a stable surface to avoid shaky footage. If holding the phone, keep it as steady as possible.
- Microphone: Use an external microphone if possible. If not, ensure you're in a quiet environment to minimize background noise.
- Speak Clearly: Speak loudly and clearly, and position the microphone close to your mouth but out of frame.
- Orientation: Use landscape mode (horizontal).
- Length: Keep the video concise. Aim for 1-3 minutes unless instructed otherwise.
- Framing: Center yourself in the frame, with a little space above your head and your shoulders visible.
- Background: Choose a clean, uncluttered background. Avoid distracting elements behind you.
- File Format: Save the video in a common format such as MP4 or MOV.
- Transfer Method: Use a reliable method to send the video, such as Google Drive, Dropbox, WeTransfer, or email.
