Check out more tips on how to be a good youtuber:
Decide where you're going to film. It could be your room, but then kindly clean up the mess and collect the plates of dried biscuits out of camera view. More than half the video isn't the cell phone shaking, it's the sound. So choose rooms with lots of furniture, maybe even carpet or curtains to avoid echo, it's not useless to film in your dad's bedroom, it's usually pretty spiffy and noise dampening from your mother. If you're serious about youtubing at all, you should think about buying a microphone, you just can't do it without one, otherwise all your videos will sound exactly like they're coming from a burrow.
No burrow! God's light!
Half doing sound and half doing the other half? The light. No good camera films when it can't see anything, it needs light to see anything. If you've got a normal room, try taking the black curtains off the windows, you're not a vampire and the light won't do you any harm. If all you have is a hole in the wall to the yard, you'll have to shine a light.
You'll basically just need a lamp. A very practical one is a living room one that shines into the ceiling and has an extra one on top for reading that you can use to light your face. But two lamps are best, because one makes shadows. If you point two lamps at yourself, one from the right and one from the left, ideally a little from above (at about a 45° angle), you'll glow like a lantern. And it does.
If you throw paper or a white t-shirt over the lamp, it softens the space, the harsh light renders every pimple on your face. But watch out! Don't let the T-shirt burn, unless you've got an energy saver, the bulbs are pretty fried. You want to look human?
How to build a burrow
Don't sit in a white T-shirt in front of a white wall. It needs a contrasting background. It can be colourful, but especially if you want to sit against a wall, it's better to have a continuous wallpaper behind you with repeating motifs, like logos. You know, a blue wall with the Samsung logo all over it, or similar baggy stuff.
The other option is to sit in the space, this really gives the impression of a studio. Slide your seat over the corner, well away from the wall, you get the impression of a bigger room. You can have some dominant elements, like a red leather seat, a bag to sit on and a white table to put your stuff on, but you don't need to see it right away, if you're going to show something, it looks better if you pick it up in front of the camera. The camera should be on a tripod about two metres away from the little studio.
What's sure to break the focus
The base! Turn off your phone! Not just the ringer, just turn it off so you don't get distracted by the third-floor bimbo texting while you're filming. And turn off the TV, the radio and all the noise in your house. Put Grandma in the closet, the dog in Grandma's. If he ever barks or whines, send him on vacation. And close your window. It's the quiet that cures.
It's youtube, if your grandma is locked in the closet and breaks out and you're filming it, make a funny comment, it'll be funny, you don't have to murder her and start filming again.
