Filming Tips

Here’s some pointers to help you with your first few videos.


    Light bulb

  1. Lighting

    • To show off your item as clearly as possible it will need lots of lighting. Lots and lots. This is especially true if you're filming indoors and there isn’t enough daylight. Get your lights on and your lamps out.







    2. Pen

  2. Script

    • You don’t need to write an award winning sales pitch but having the important selling points written down is really helpful so you don’t forget to mention anything and it will help to keep you on track.







    3. Tripod

  3. Steady Hands

    • When filming your item, try to keep the camera steady and avoid jerky movements, using the zoom and wildly pointing your camera around. If you do need to move the camera around to show off hard to see bits, try to make sure that your actions are smooth. A tripod or something to balance the camera on would be helpful. At vzaar we love the joby gorillapod. It’s simply brilliant.




    4. Quiet Sign

  4. Sound

    • You may have filmed an advert of masterpiece proportions, but if the sound is bad you can ruin it. Speak clearly. You want your buyers to be able to hear you. Watch out for background noise especially if you are filming outdoors. A light breeze can end up sounding like a gale.



Now you’ve got the basics under your belt, there is nothing stopping you!

If, during your filming experience, you have helpful tips that you think others would benefit from let us know and we’ll be sure to add them to vzaar.

We can’t wait to see your videos!
