Light and sound: the secret of clean video

Most of the gap between amateur and pro content is good light and noise-free sound.

Light from the front

Keep the light in front of you or slightly to the side, never a window behind you. Soft light beats harsh direct light.

True product colours

Don't mix warm and cool lights. The product on screen must match reality, or returns and complaints go up.

Quiet sound

Film in a room with rugs or curtains, switch off the AC if you can and stay close to the mic. Record two seconds of silence at the start for easier editing.
