IPHONE PRODUCTION TOOLKIT
Tried and tested to prepare you for the spotlight! This is my favorite! It's affordable, compact and easy for travel to capture content on the go.
4 ELEMENTS OF GOOD VIDEO
Audio / Video
Clear sound quality keeps viewers engaged and makes your message easy to understand, and a clear, non blurry video makes it easier to connect with the speaker.
​
Lighting
Good lighting enhances your appearance and video quality. Position yourself in front of a light source rather than behind it. Filming in front of a window is a great place to start.
​
Stability
Keeping the camera sturdy will ensure your content looks polished and easier for the viewer to watch.
​
Framing
When framing your video, think of the video frame divided into 9 quadrants, centering your face on the line below the top quadrant. When filming landscape, position yourself in the center of the screen with a few inches of space above your head. This makes it easy to repurpose the video into shorts or square video. Place your phone or computer on a stack of books to level the camera or use a tripod to adjust the height.​
AUDIO
​This RODE wireless mics come with USB-C Iphone input and (2) wireless mics. Packaged in a self-contained charger that continues to charge while in the protective hardcover small case. Plug it in, and the audio records to your phone. Also available in red, blue and white. Tip: Be sure to choose the correct version for your phone - lightning or USB.
​This RODE handheld adaptor for the wireless RODE microphone. Insert the microphone, put on the foam cover, and you are ready to record. Also available in red, blue and white.
LIGHTING AND STABILITY
Travel tripod with sturdy magnet Iphone holder is my new favorite. It's so easy to use! One of the tripod legs extends for overlay shots, avoiding a glimpse of the tripod in the video.
A MUST HAVE!! This ring light is my fave! It will light up a room. I recommend using the white LED light, though it comes with an orange filter. It includes a phone holder, though I recommend the adaptor attachment below.
I like this light because I've been able to use it to completely light a green screen set-up in a dark room. It's adjustable, comes with a compact carrying case and a great option if you are filming on-the-go.
