Video Content for Webpages

Adding videos to your webpage can be done so easily. This feature will allow viewers to the page to engage with your program in a more meaningful way.

The videos can be created using a cell phone or a basic video camera.

Included in this section are best practices for you to utilize when filming. These tips can be shared when engaging residents/fellows and faculty to create videos of themselves.

Landscape orientation provides the highest quality during playback
Camera should be at eye level or slightly higher
Person in camera view should take up about half of the screen (waist line to above head)
Place phone/camera on stationary object to prevent camera swaying
When taping outdoors, be aware of wind. The microphone on phones is very sensitive to wind noise.
If taping indoors, be aware that a room with primarily hard surfaces may have bad echo. Even when this isn’t audible to the person/people recording, the video playback will show the echo.
When filming someone, video should not cut off below the waist or at mid-chest.
