Having a well-shot 3-camera video of your DJ set feels awesome. Makes you feel like you’re doing a Boiler Room set or something. It’s worth putting in a little extra effort to get a good one. Avoid these common mistakes and level up your DJ skills with DJ Courses Online today.
Poor lighting
This is such a tough problem to get around. Most venues don’t have lighting which optimizes the DJ. And besides that, DJs generally don’t enjoy having lights in their faces. But you gotta play the game. A subtle ring light should show just enough of what you’re doing with your face and hands. And it beats the grainy lighting of most webcams.
Redlining the master
The levels in your DJ software might be good, but how about the levels on your recording computer? You might be redlining, or even too soft. An in-the-box stereo recording isn’t really good enough. Look at the Boiler Room DJ set videos. All of them have crowd sounds.
Bad framing
In photography, the size of your shot and what’s in it is known as composition. To get good composition, you have to position the camera so that your head is fully in the frame (not cut off) and there’s nothing blocking the camera. Ignore the crappy backing music and check out these 9 tips for better framing.
