[icon type=”glyphicon glyphicon-ok” color=”#1e73be”] 2. If you can’t afford a microphone try to shoot in a location with no background noise and move closer
to your subject.

[icon type=”glyphicon glyphicon-ok” color=”#1e73be”] 4. Be aware of backgrounds. Make sure anything in the background appropriately represents what you want an audience to see.

[icon type=”glyphicon glyphicon-ok” color=”#1e73be”] 6. Share! Most editing programs allow for easy uploading to social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, and Youtube
note: If creating a video specifically for Instagram there are other factors to keep in mind. We will address that in a future blog post
