Advice
- Light test. Install the lamp above the desk or desk and cover the lamp with a sheet of paper. You can also create an indirect light source on the wall to reduce the brightness and still get a good quality movie.
- To minimize the size of the footage, record against a simple background. A mobile wallpaper looks more dynamic, but the file size will be much larger and consume more bandwidth when you export the file.
- Turn off noise-producing devices such as radio or television. The webcam’s microphone picks up the noises and amplifies them in the footage.
Warning
- Colorful or plaid clothing can distract people from your face while filming. Red is the most difficult camera color to capture, while blue is the simplest. If you wear white, your skin will look darker; If you wear black, your skin will be lighter.
