Talking to camera
You, saying your script to the camera. This is what builds trust.
Examples
Steps
- Phone on a tripod, vertical (or someone holding)
- Lens at eye level
- Face in the middle of the screen
- Mic plugged into your iPhone (no mic? quiet room, phone close)
- Look at the lens, not the screen
How to record your script
- All in one recording. Never in pieces
- Made a mistake? Keep recording, pause, say it again
Right vs wrong
02
Selfie
You hold the phone and talk. Feels like a message from you.
Examples
Steps
- Front camera, arm out
- Phone at eye level
- Walk slowly
- Look at the lens
- Mic on, out of the wind
Right vs wrong

B-roll
Short clips of your business, with no talking. We put them over your voice.
Two kinds of shots
Wide
Step back. Show the place and the people.
- Outside & signage
- Your space
- Team at work
- You at work
Close-up
Get close. Show the details.
- Your service in action
- Products
- Hands at work
- Tools & equipment
Steps
- Hold each shot 5 seconds
- Always move, slowly
- Walk closer, don't zoom
- Customer on camera? Get their consent first
B-roll can be lots of separate clips.
Only film before-and-after if we ask.
