Technical Guidelines
Here we list some guidelines for video content for your community.
Orientation
As Memberse is a mobile app, we suggest you to shot your videos vertically (9:16)
Lightning
Avoid pointing the phone or camera directly towards the source of light.
Stability
Try to keep the phone or camera as steady as possible. Use a tripod if you can.
Airplane Mode
If you use a phone for filming, switch to airplane mode to prevent interruptions. Shut down background apps.
Additional Footage
Shoot as much footage as possible. This gives the editor more options to make the best out of the video.
Transferring Materials
We recommend MyAirBridge (up to 20GB) or Google Drive for bigger transfers.
Resolution
Set image quality to HD (1080×1920) and frame rate preferably to 30fps.
Zooming
Zooming in almost always loses video quality, so try to avoid it.
Clear The Lens
Dust or small stains can make the footage unusable, so always clean your camera lens before recording.
Positioning
Try to place the object not too close to the edges of the screen. Using gridlines on your phone or camera can help with that.
Here’s what you need to be aware of, regarding the sound recording.
Environment
Make sure there is not too much background noise or echo.
External Microphone
If possible, invest in an external microphone that you can plug into your phone or camera. Alternatively, you may record sound with a second smartphone that you place closer to the speaker.
Stability
Try to keep the phone or camera as steady as possible. Use a tripod if you can.
Clap
If you record sound separately or use several cameras, do a clap with your hands after you have started recording. This makes it easier to synchronize the footage later.
