How to Get the Best Lighting For Video

Are you struggling with getting the right lighting for your videos or while you are in a video conference?

Here are some lighting tips:

1. Position yourself in front of a light source (window or an artificial light) when you are on a video conference or recording a video.
2. Avoid having any bright lights/or window behind you because you'll be in the shadow​ and people won't be able to see you clearly.
3. Natural light is the best so place yourself in front of a window.
4. If your room is dark and no matter what you do, you can't seem to get  yourself well lit in your videos. You will need to buy artificial lighting and a ring light is what I would recommend because they are really affordable.
5. I recommend buying a ring light with 2 adjustments (one to adjust the temperature - cooler or warmer; and the other one is to adjust the brightness). I personally don't like the ring light with different filter sets that you have to change it manually.
6. You can also buy a smaller ring light for your laptop or one that clips to a desk with a cellphone holder. This is great if you are moving around or do your videos in different places that need additional lighting.

I hope you find these tips helpful!
