Decorating Backgrounds for a Video Interview

Video Transcript

My name is Owen Roth and in this clip I'll be showing you how to decorate your background in a video interview. So our interview is going to happen here obviously, I've got the interview chair right here, the camera, and the background. So I'm going to decorate the background with appropriate stuff and it's just going to add to the look of the interview. And for this particular one, it's going to be "travel", so what I have here is a globe and a little table to put it on, so I'm going to put that right there. And then I've got a few other things on the shelf that I'm going to move into frame, and the idea is that these add to it, (and where's that book, here we go, so that's going to go back there, and move that over there, and then a few more books as filler here). And this is pretty basic, but you can play with it as much as you want, so I had a shelf and I can do whatever I want here, obviously I put a little bit of books but other objects and the globe is the key one. So when I sit down here, and I turn it so the actual lights we're going to be using, I sit down, you've got the globe here, right in the background as well as the shelf that I just decorated, and it's kind of better than just lots of books there, so it kind of just adds a "feel". So just feel free to play around with it and realize that everything that's in the frame is going to be in the shot obviously, and you might as well make that something that has to do with the interview subject you are talking about.
