Our Top Ten Tips For Recording Your Own Videos!

We’re always looking for great videos to feature on our social media channels. Why not send us a short video featuring you and some of your friends getting ready for the Vhi Virtual Women’s Mini Marathon? You could either be filmed training for the event; sharing some of the fun ways you are fundraising, or simply talking about why your charity means so much to you.

It couldn’t be easier to record a video, and we have some simple tips to help you along the way: 

  • Use a smartphone to record your video. (It’s easy to make, send and post!) 

  • Film your video in landscape (horizontal)– it looks better, and it’s easier for us to add subtitles to your video that way. 

  • Use an interesting background – for instance, film your video outside or in front of a colourful wall or backdrop. Just be wary of background noise on a windy day or from nearby traffic! 

  • If you’re fundraising for a charity, wear your charity t-shirt so everyone can know who you’re supporting. 

  • Check your lighting – make sure your video isn’t too dark or too bright. 

  • Avoid using zoom as this can make your footage shaky. 

  • Keep it simple, avoid using filters. 

  • Send us your video. 

  • Send us your charity’s logo, so that we can include it with your video. 

  • And make sure to have fun!
