[Spark] Tips for recording
Here are some tips for the recording:
Tripod/Stand : Place your phone on a tripod/stand, next to your laptop. You can also keep it behind the laptop.
Back camera : Use the back camera to record, instead of the front. The back camera usually has better-quality sensors.
1080p @ 30fps / HD 30 : For iPhones, record at "HD 30". For Android phones, record at 1080p and 30fps
Landscape/Horizontal : Place the phone horizontally, to allow for capturing any lateral movement you may make during demonstration.
10GB free space: The recordings will usually be around 3-6GB - for a 60-90min class. Ensure you have sufficient free space on the phone.
Bonus idea: Record from a side angle i.e. where you're NOT facing the camera.
This makes it more obvious that you're actually in a class teaching - and could increase the authenticity of the clip.
You could even consider including the laptop within the frame - so it's obvious that it's an online class.
Our goal is to get strangers to become more comfortable with the idea of you being their online teacher. So, whatever might help make that happen, is worth trying.
