FILMING GUIDELINES

• Use the iPhone camera, or DSLR if preferred (not the in-app IG camera) to ensure quality.

• Video should be vertical (portrait) to fit IG stories format: 1080 x 1920 pixels.

• If possible, use a tripod/stand to ensure stability of footage.

• When shooting in selfie mode, keep your head in the top half of the frame.

• Take note of lighting:

  • Natural light is best for a more natural look on camera; avoid sitting with your back to window

  • Utilize additional lighting (i.e. ring-light, bright makeup mirror) as needed.

• Avoid wearing white or light-colored tops
