Whilst we are all home due to the quarantine from COVID 19, starting a YouTube channel has become quite popular. However, before starting, you will need to decide on the space where you will be doing your filming-It could be your living room or your bedroom. Wherever you decide to use, ensure that your background is not distracting.
Accomplished cinematographer and set designer Eric Lambart has teamed up with Youtuber, Indy Mogul to give you ideas on how to get started. In this video, Lambart shows us how he turns a living room into the perfect space to shoot YouTube videos.
Lombart discusses tips on how to take a basic set design from looking disorganized to captivating.
“When I look at an aesthetically pleasing image, I like to look for natural framing of the subject and make sure that the background compliments them. When setting up the shot, especially if I’m going for the modern YouTube look, I make sure that no area of my frame goes dark or empty. One way to keep all areas of the frame evenly lit is by including practicals like a lamp or placing an object like a plant to fill the space in and give it a pop of color”.
