Sheryl Plouffe shows how to avoid dark shadows when filming with natural light: face the window so light floods your face instead of backlighting you. The difference is immediate and requires no extra equipment.
Here is an easy quick tip that you can do today to improve your business and marketing videos. My name is Sheryl Plouffe. I'm a video strategist. Now listen, you don't need to have a 5-point lighting system to make a great video. But when you use natural light like I am today, there are some things you want to keep in mind. Always make sure that you're facing the window so that the light is coming toward you and flooding your face. Look at the difference when I turn my tripod around and now my back is toward the window. See the difference? You can still see me, but I'm not as bright, I'm not as vibrant. So make sure that you're always facing your natural light. It could be in your office or wherever you're recording your videos, and I promise you it's going to make a huge difference in the quality of your videos.
