• Background
• Research focus areas
• Why you are interested in this topic

RECORDING TIPS
Think about your background—sit in front of a neutral background (garden/backyard, blank wall, clean + empty room, bookshelf, wall with art are all okay).
If you’re filming outside, natural light will look great. If you are inside, ideally you’d want to set yourself up so that your light source is in front of you (behind your screen). If you do have a window behind you, be sure to shut the blinds so you’re not backlit.
Avoid getting too close to the camera so that your positioning remains natural for viewers.
Listen for a minute before you start filming. If you hear too much noise (dog barking, busy street) move to a better area.
Videos should be between 30-45 seconds, with a maximum of 1 minute for optimal viewing on social media platforms.
Check your Zoom recording settings at https://zoom.us/profile/setting?tab=recording and adjust them before you start your Zoom meeting to record. Please ensure that your cloud recording settings match the ones shown in the attached screengrab and that you “Record to the Cloud” once you’re ready to start.
Have fun!
Our social media manager, Shannon Sampson, would be happy to be on hand while they film this recording if any of the instructors do not feel comfortable. We will leave that decision up to the individual instructor.
