PRODUCTION POINTERS
 
 

We get that recording yourself can be difficult, so if you need to beat writer's block or have camera anxiety, we've pulled together some starter questions to help you tell your story as well as a list of production pointers to help you create a high-quality video!

FOR EXAMPLE:
 
  • I am a court reporter!
  • I get to set my own schedule
  • I get paid to watch sports
  • I can write over 223 wpm
  • I get to listen to interesting grand jury cases
 

CONSIDER YOUR ATTIRE
 

If you can, dress as if you were attending a deposition! Solid color shirts and simple jewelry are best for video.

CONSIDER YOUR BACKGROUND
 

A clean space behind you or blank wall works best! Or, if you're using Zoom, try a blurred background.

CONSIDER LIGHTING
 

Check to ensure your video is lit up well. Check for awkward shadows and keep light sources in front of you for the best outcome!

CONSIDER SOUND
 

Check for background noise. Noise interference from traffic, leaf blowers, children, pets and more can all contribute to background sound that could make it difficult to hear your video. Do your best to record in a quiet space.

CONSIDER YOUR CAMERA
 

If you are using a phone to record your video, be sure that the phone is horizontal. A horizontal video will result in a better playback for the viewers. Think about using a phone tripod or a friend to help you hold the phone or video camera you are using. If it’s easier to record through Zoom on your computer, you can do that, too!
