L&D School: Online learning module
Camera training
How do I appear relaxed and confident in front of the camera?
Videos stay in our memory. What we see in videos sticks more strongly in our memory. Why? Because we think in images and these images are linked to emotions. Create emotions in the video and your content will become embedded in the viewer’s mind.

Contents of the module
Why videos?
- Videos help to build trust and strengthen the bond with the learner.
- Videos transport unconscious information.
- The content of videos is more memorable.
Image detail
- The image section should extend to the belt to build trust.
- Use your hands to gesticulate and support your statements.
- Choose a narrower image section if you want to create more emotion.
Clothing
- Effect before comfort: The most important thing is that the clothes fit well.
- Avoid patterns that are too wild or too large, as this distracts from the face.
- Go for fresh colors, preferably plain.
Light
- Make sure that the light falls correctly: the light source should be positioned behind the camera or slightly to the side of it.
- Tip for spectacle wearers: You can avoid reflections in the glass by positioning the light source slightly higher.
