EXPERIMENT
1. TO RECORD MUSIC AND VIDEO RECORDING TOGETHER
You need a phone camera, webcam or a camera to record.

4. PRO TIPS!
- Use short takes rather than whole piece. Clap or click with the prompt on the Guide Track (eg. 1 & 2 & “clap”).
- Play from the Guide Tracks music, lyrics OR from memory.
- Ensure the music stand does not obstruct the shot. Folding wire stands are preferred. Use BluTak or Gaff tape to keep things in place.
- BACKGROUND: Not distracting and is appropriate.
- LIGHT: Ensure faces are well lit and not in shadow.
