C) Recording Your Performance Video

Here are a few tips before you start recording your video:
 Always select a well-lit room, either with enough lights or with

plenty of sunlight.
 Make sure that the light is falling on your face, not coming from
behind you.
 Use a phone with good quality camera.
 Before recording, make sure that you check the balance between
your instrument and the accompaniment/playback. You may need
to move closer or further away from the camera and any
microphone to achieve the perfect balance.
 Backing tracks should be played through an external speaker
rather than directly from a phone or tablet. Before filming your
full performance, make sure you run a soundcheck and adjust the
balance between the track and your instrument or voice. You may
need to move the speaker closer or further away from your
camera to find the perfect balance.
 Choose a quiet room without disruptions, and remember to put
devices such a phones or tablets on ‘silent’.
 All exams must be submitted as one, continuous performance (this
includes all pieces/songs and technical work). If there is any
evidence of editing then we will not be able to assess your exam.
 Audio and video must be recorded simultaneously and no pre- or
post-production techniques should be applied.
 Your Trinity books/legally downloaded copies must be visible in
the frame of the video when you film your performance.
 The maximum size for your video file is 1GB and your
performance must be captured as one continuous take.
 For best results, do not hand-hold the camera! Please find a stand
or tripod to mount it.
 Please remember to turn off HD settings on your device before
you begin. Your videos need not be HD. You may record your
video as an MP4 or MOV file.
 Frame your shot in such a way that the candidate’s face and hands
are visible clearly in the shot.

 Once you have set everything is setup, you may do a few test
recordings to see if the audio & video is good enough. If any
adjustments are required, you may please do so.
 Once everything is looking and sounding proper, you may get
ready for the final take.
 Before you start the final recording, keep all your books ready and
handy so that you are not going to waste any time between your
pieces/songs.
 Once you start your recording, play each piece/song one after the
other in the order you have specified in the ‘submission
information form’ as in step 11. Remember, the performance of
the pieces and technical work should be filmed in one
continuous take, without edits.
