Tips to create Video CV through Smartphones
You don't need expensive equipment; making a video resume on your phone can deliver high-quality results.
While shooting oneself for creating Video CV, smartphones can give as satisfactory a result as professional camera does, provided you know how to do that in the right way.
You cannot just pick up your phone and start filming yourself. Look at the tips below that would give you clear ideas on how you can create impressive CVs with the help of your smartphones.

1.    Set the Right Angle

The most important step is to set the right angle where you would be clearly visible, audible, where you won’t have any extreme lights coming on your face, especially into your eyes, where there is no wind that blows your hair making you uncomfortable.
Set up the lighting of your phone as well. Instead of creating video as per the default filter, play around a little and choose the best effect for your shots. Good sound and lights are a vital factor to create good videos through smartphones.
 

2.    Position Your Phone Correctly

Phones kept in vertical positions will give you best results provided you are showing yourself till shoulder-length. Set up your phone accordingly, at a stable location, that allows your hands to stay free while you speak. Use a tripod, specially designed for smartphones.
 

3.    Check Video Resolution

There are smartphones that have better resolutions than others. Most of them have shoot capacity of 720p or 1080p, but there are some that have 4 times better resolution than these. Shooting with good resolution will help have a clear video, which can be edited better. Better lights play important role with having a good resolution shoot.
 

4.    Edit Your Video Effectively

There are a number of applications that help edit videos. They are inexpensive, have a wide range of tools to edit from, provide effects for the video, adding audio facility, graphics, pictures, and much more, to make your Video CV more attractive. Use such applications to edit your videos. This will also show your tech savviness, because creating video CVs is no less than an art.
 

5.    Prepare a Script Before Recording

Always keep your content ready, and practice it well before starting the video shoot. Too many pauses during the video isn’t going to help you. So create an outline of what you want to speak, set your phone, and speak out all about your experience and skills required to get this job.
Utilising tools and techniques to create good videos via smartphones helps save a lot of time and efforts. Showcasing your talent with available resources is a great trait, rest of the work is done by Graduatewise.com that helps potential employers connect with respective candidates with the help of Video CVs.

With so much competition in the market, candidates need to stay proactive and learn to use the tools at hand to get ahead in their career. Smartphones are used by nearly everyone, especially the younger lot of the employment market. With everything getting online these days, learning a few video making tricks is only going to be a plus in their list of achievements.
