Going in front of the camera is an important act for the stakeholder that you are as well as for the company you represent. You are the chosen one, the chosen ambassador! So don't let a piece of clothing ruin your moment of fame...
Today, you are shooting your first video. In front of your mirror, you are perfect, wearing your most beautiful shirt with very fine and delicate little flowers. Nothing can stop you. Nothing except your shirt, the small patterns create a wave effect in the image. If our best clothes don't really look good on camera, what can we wear?
Less is more.
A pretty light blue shirt highlights any type of person. It makes your eyes stand out, and highlights your tan or your snow-white skin. Light blue suits all types of people and softens your face. In front of the camera you seem sweet, kind, and attention-grabbing. Isn't that the expected result?
Make it simple to keep the viewer's attention on your speech, not on your pretty blue sweater with the pink teddy bear. A solid color is ideal, but take into account that each one has a message. Red, for example, is synonymous with leader, decision maker, while blue gives off a feeling of creativity and softness. If no color is really to be avoided, I warn you that black does not thin out your pretty shapes, and that it is best to wear a color different from that of your background in order to highlight yourself.
Technically, what clothing is the most useful?
If I strongly recommend the solid colors, is that the small patterns on your shirts can create Aliasing. Image bugs caused by these small symbols or fine scratches on your clothes. These anomalies create a blur effect in your video that can easily make you feel nauseous. Like this:
So a tip, if you really want to wear your shirt with very fine and delicate little flowers: Film yourself with your phone to see whether or not it causes this effect.
And if I recommend a shirt, it's for Hang up the mic. If you don't wear a shirt on a daily basis, no problem a T-shirt fits the bill if it's not a turtleneck, or something that's too tight and close to your neck. The important thing is to find a piece of clothing where it is possible to Hang up your mic and in which you feel at ease.
Last tip, if you are the organizer of a shoot, remember to donate well these instructions to your speakers so as not to have to postpone a shoot because of a famous shirt with very fine and delicate little flowers.
