Video should be recorded in good resolution. This can be
adjusted in the Rear Camera Settings. Keep the device steady. Avoid shaking. It is better to use a device holder/Tripod. The student should be visible till Waist level. Shoot video in PORTRAIT mode. Hold the device VERTICALLY. This is for SINGERS. Piano Players and other Instrument players should shoot in LANDSCAPE mode. Holding the device HORIZONTALLY. If possible, use blue or green background for shooting otherwise any plain simple background. Avoid heavy décor behind. Lights play a very important role in Video recording. Stand in such a manner, where the light is falling on your face and not coming from your backside as it will produce a dark image. For example, standing with your back facing a Window results in a Dark image. Better to stand facing the Window (In case of Daylight). The idea is that there should be light on your face. While shooting, play the track on a device and sing along with that with proper expression and lip sync. We will remove your Voice later from the video. But for a natural looking video, sing along with the track. Use Google Drive Link ( prabhakar.hanu@gmail.com) with Editor Settings to share the file or on Teams Chat. Please do not use Whatsapp for sharing, as Whatsapp compresses the File Resolution for viewing on Mobile. The required format for VIDEO File is MP4. No other format please.
Technical Guidelines to record an effective Audio
While recording, the room MUST be completely SILENT. Switch off the Fan and AC too as sometimes even AC produces fine sound which gets captured along with the Audio. Please make sure that there is no other Background noise. You will need 2 devices for Audio recording. Play the track in your Earphones only from one device. Leave one ear open so that you can hear your own voice. Record the voice in another device, so that we can get pure Vocals without any other sound. Sing along with the track maintaining a Secure pitch and pulse. Practice several times before final recording.
P.S. – A good raw material yields a good product. Please
create your Videos keeping these points in mind so that the end product turns out to be beautiful.
