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.
