APA Style

For citing videos, APA style suggests including the title of the video, the label "Video" in square brackets, the name of the site, and a link to the video.

Reference List:

• Title of video [Video]. (Year, Month Day of publication). Website Name. https://www.url.com

Example:

• How to properly cite videos [Video]. (2021, January 10). YouTube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxxxxxxx

4. The Art of Composition (Rule of Thirds)

Where you place your subject matters. Most cameras and phones have a "grid" feature you can turn on in the settings.

• The Rule: Imagine your screen divided into nine equal squares. Place your subject (or your eyes) along those lines or at the intersections, rather than dead center.
• Headroom: Leave a small amount of space between the top of the subject's head and the edge of the frame. Too much space makes the subject look small; too little feels cramped.

1. Prioritize Audio Over Video

It sounds counterintuitive, but audio is more important than video quality. Viewers will tolerate a grainy or shaky image if the content is good, but they will click away instantly if the audio is echoing, muffled, or distorted. vidioxxxxx

• The Fix: Get the microphone as close to the subject as possible. If you don’t have a professional mic, use a wired headset or simply stand closer to your phone.
• The Environment: Film in a room with soft furnishings (carpets, curtains, couches) to dampen echo. Avoid empty rooms with tiled floors.
