You should not film in the middle of the day unless a cloudy day is ideal or if you can find a shady area.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-4411 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.flintzy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/17112546\/3-300x169.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"346\" height=\"195\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.flintzy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/17112546\/3-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/cdn.flintzy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/17112546\/3-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.flintzy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/17112546\/3-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/cdn.flintzy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/17112546\/3-1536x864.png 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.flintzy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/17112546\/3-1440x810.png 1440w, https:\/\/cdn.flintzy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/17112546\/3.png 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 346px) 100vw, 346px\" \/>Improves focus on the host<br \/>\n<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You should choose your background carefully when filming. An untidy or distracting environment will make you appear unprofessional.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A solid-coloured background will give your YouTube Live a professional look. It&#8217;s a good idea to use a wall, a bedsheet, or a large piece of backdrop paper. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you do not want your objects to cast shadows, make sure they are several feet from the backdrop.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You should avoid filming on a window or other reflective surface, and your camera might be caught in its reflection. On top of that, you can make your subject look darker and shadowed if you place a light source behind your subject.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-4412 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.flintzy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/17112633\/4-300x169.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.flintzy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/17112633\/4-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/cdn.flintzy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/17112633\/4-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.flintzy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/17112633\/4-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/cdn.flintzy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/17112633\/4-1536x864.png 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.flintzy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/17112633\/4-1440x810.png 1440w, https:\/\/cdn.flintzy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/17112633\/4.png 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>Make sure the audio is crisp and clear.<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Having high-quality audio is more important than having high-quality YouTube Live. Even if a YouTube Live is not in HD or grainy, most people will still watch it as long as the content is interesting. When anyone starts to play a YouTube Live, fuzzy and indistinct audio usually causes them to hit the &#8220;back&#8221; button.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For clear audio, place the microphone close to the subject<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. You might use a pop filter to eliminate blips and crackles from the recorded sound. Ensure your microphone is not picking up any background noise, either.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Check Out our complete guide on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flintzy.com\/blog\/2022\/02\/27\/how-to-improve-audio-quality-on-youtube\/\">How to improve Audio Quality<\/a> on YouTube on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flintzy.com\/\">flintzy.com<\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-4410 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.flintzy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/17112458\/5-300x169.png\" alt=\"YouTube Live\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.flintzy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/17112458\/5-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/cdn.flintzy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/17112458\/5-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.flintzy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/17112458\/5-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/cdn.flintzy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/17112458\/5-1536x864.png 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.flintzy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/17112458\/5-1440x810.png 1440w, https:\/\/cdn.flintzy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/17112458\/5.png 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>Learn about the Rule of Thirds.<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Film composition relies heavily on the rule of thirds.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Imagine filming on a field covered with a 3-by-3 grid. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Instead of putting your subject in the middle of the shot, place it along a grid line.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> It is essential to place essential elements of the YouTube Live in the intersections of the lines, if possible.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-4408 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.flintzy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/17112345\/6-300x169.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.flintzy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/17112345\/6-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/cdn.flintzy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/17112345\/6-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.flintzy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/17112345\/6-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/cdn.flintzy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/17112345\/6-1536x864.png 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.flintzy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/17112345\/6-1440x810.png 1440w, https:\/\/cdn.flintzy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/17112345\/6.png 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>Improve your comfort level in front of the camera.<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You have an enormous impact on how professional your YouTube Lives look if you appear in them on camera.
