Videomaker.com - Best Practices for Using a Web Cam



In this short video from videomaker.com, Tom Skowronski shares some Best practices for using a webcam for video sharing sites, video conferencing, and video blogging. While most webcams are very low quality and mainly used for video chat, there are a few simple rules you can follow to get higher quality results.

1. Adjust the positioning of your web cam 
  • center yourself in the camera frame 
  • avoid excessive head room
  • avoid angle shots, face the camera directly
2. Always try to add additional light
  • turn desk lamps and any back lights to emulate 3-point lighting
3. Use some kind of external microphone
  • headset microphones reduce extraneous background noise and reduce echo
  • audio is more crisp and clear
