Recording your presentation can be done using a camera and\/or hand-held video recorder. However, most phones allow you to record through the camera function and most computers have recording ability (via camera or webcam) using inbuilt programs such as:<\/p>\n
Windows<\/strong><\/p>\n Macintosh<\/strong><\/p>\n Online programs which you might like to consider include:<\/p>\n Zoom \u2013 see\u00a0how to record yourself via Zoom<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Filming at Home<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n There are three factors to consider when selecting your location to ensure you are producing the best video possible:<\/span><\/p>\n Light<\/strong><\/p>\n Dark environments impact the overall quality of your video because cameras do not perform well in dim lighting. Ensuring you are well-lit guarantees the camera and therefore, your audience, can see you. Look for a room in your home that has lots of natural light. If you are using light from a window, ensure you are facing towards the window so the light falls on you directly. Any additional lighting you can introduce will further improve the quality of your video. Look around your home for desk lamps, torches etc. Watch<\/a><\/strong><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/a><\/strong>this tutorial<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>for more information.<\/span><\/p>\n Sound<\/strong><\/p>\n When filming a video at home, ensure you choose a very quiet environment where you have as much control over the sound as possible. For example, choose a small room where you can close all doors and windows. Make sure any noisy electronics in the room such as fans, air conditioners, computers, phones and possibly even your fridge are temporarily turned off. These are much louder in the video than you may think and are very distracting to your audience! Be aware of any audible interruptions you don\u2019t have control over such as airplanes, lawns mowers and cars. Consider filming during a quiet time of day such as early in the morning when there are likely to be fewer interruptions. If there are audio interruptions during your recording, do not continue. Wait it out and try again at a later point!<\/span><\/p>\n Background<\/strong><\/p>\n Aim for a clean, plain wall as your background,<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>completely free of visual distractions<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>from the waist up to where you will be framing your shot.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n Setup<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n Whether you\u2019re filming on a phone, tablet or webcam, there are further factors to consider when setting up to film your video:<\/span><\/p>\n Support<\/strong><\/p>\n Ensure phones and tablets have enough storage available, is in airplane mode, fully charged and either connected to a tripod or, placed on a stable surface (think creatively \u2013 Blu Tack to the wall). Your friend cannot offer to be a tripod by holding your phone or iPad for you: Your video needs to be completely stable as the movement is very distracting.<\/span><\/p>\n Camera Orientation<\/strong><\/p>\n Ensure phones and tablets are turned onto their side so the video is filmed horizontally not vertically. This is to ensure the finished video is in the correct shape and size when uploaded to YouTube.<\/span><\/p>\n Eyeline<\/strong><\/p>\n To ensure your eye line is correct, the tripod or surface where your recording device is placed should be high enough so that the camera lens is in line with your eye level. Try to avoid the camera lens having to either point up or down towards you.<\/span><\/p>\n Framing<\/strong><\/p>\n Set up your shot so you are to the left of the center of the frame without being cut off at the top and so you can be seen from the waist up.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>The right side of the video frame should be just the blank wall background, as this is where your slide will be edited in.<\/strong><\/p>\n Focus<\/strong><\/p>\n Before you start recording, ensure your device can autofocus on you and isn\u2019t focusing on anything else around you instead. Be sure to watch your recording back and ensure you remain in the focus for the entire duration.<\/span><\/p>\n Proximity<\/strong><\/p>\n Ensure your recording device isn\u2019t too far away from you. The microphone on the device should be as close to you as possible to achieve both the desired framing and to ensure the audio is as clear as possible.<\/span><\/p>\n Test Recording<\/strong><\/p>\n Complete a short recording of a portion of your talk. Ensure you are speaking at the volume you intend to use for your presentation. Review the test recording to ensure all of the above elements are complete and working.<\/span><\/p>\n Presentation Tip<\/strong><\/p>\n Be aware of your eye movement. Maintain eye contact with the camera lens as though they were a person in the audience watching you present live.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_accordion open_toggle_text_color=”#0C71C3″ _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” toggle_text_color=”#0C71C3″ toggle_font_size=”40px” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_accordion_item title=”SLIDE GUIDE” _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” open=”on”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”PRESENTATION GUIDE” _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]<\/p>\n It is encouraged to present your 3MT like storytelling. The presentation should focus on the main point of the research work to make it easier to be condensed within three minutes. It must have an introduction, key points and summary to highlight the importance of the study.<\/p>\n The outcome of the presentation is that the audiences must understand the research work. The objective, problem statement, importance and expected findings of the work should be digested by the end of 3 minutes presentation.<\/p>\n Do not present too formal like a viva-voce. Use shorter words, sentences and paragraphs. It is allowed to include humour, however, be careful not to lower your presentation content.<\/p>\n Feeling nervous before you present is natural, and a little nervousness can even be beneficial to your overall speech. Nonetheless, it is important to practice so you can present with confidence and clarity. Practicing will also help you gauge the timing of your 3MT so that you keep within the time limit.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”VIDEO EDITING SOFTWARES” _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]<\/p>\n These are some examples of video editing software that can be used to combine both slides and video.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n [\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”VIDEO EXAMPLES” open=”off” _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Examples of virtual 3MT video recordings are as follows:<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_accordion_item][\/et_pb_accordion][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_divider _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ text_font=”Work Sans|700||on|||||” text_text_color=”#E2C648″ header_font=”Work Sans|700|||||||” header_text_align=”center” header_text_color=”#000080″ custom_padding=”16px||0px|||” inline_fonts=”Cantarell,ABeeZee,Abel” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=”https:\/\/forms.gle\/ZqbrMSfo2mez1Kc9A” button_text=”REGISTRATION” _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_button][et_pb_button button_text=”VIDEO SUBMISSION” _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” button_url=”https:\/\/forms.gle\/Ms4mhT3FBe2sUtYbA” sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Device Options Recording your presentation can be done using a camera and\/or hand-held video recorder.
