doesn’t mean that creative people like yourself can’t use other things. Heck, if you want to carry your laptop around to video something, knock yourself out. The key is to make sure that it’s a good product in the end.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:18.0pt;background:white"><span style="font-size:14.5pt;font-family:"-apple-system-font",serif;color:black">To start, it's important to know some terminology. A "selfie" is a self-portrait typically taken while holding
a smartphone. Most smartphones have two cameras: a front camera and back camera. The front camera is the one located just above the screen, next to the speaker. The back camera is typically in the top left corner on the back of the phone. Selfies are most
easily taken while using the front camera.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:18.0pt;background:white"><span style="font-size:14.5pt;font-family:"-apple-system-font",serif;color:black">Here are some tips for shooting a great selfie video:<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<span style="font-size:14.5pt;font-family:"-apple-system-font",serif">Always be sure your phone is in landscape mode when shooting video, selfie or otherwise.<o:p></o:p></span></li></ul>

<li class="MsoNormal" style="color:black;mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;line-height:18.0pt;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1;background:white">
<span style="font-size:14.5pt;font-family:"-apple-system-font",serif">Make sure there's not so much background noise that you can't be heard. If you have headphones with a microphone, like those that come with iPhones, you can use those to help cut down on
ambient noise.<o:p></o:p></span></li></ul>
</div>

<li class="MsoNormal" style="color:black;mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;line-height:18.0pt;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1;background:white">
<span style="font-size:14.5pt;font-family:"-apple-system-font",serif">Lighting is important. Make sure, if you're shooting indoors and aren't near a window or it's after sundown, that you turn on some lights.<o:p></o:p></span></li></ul>
</div>
<div>
<ul type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="color:black;mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;line-height:18.0pt;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1;background:white">
<span style="font-size:14.5pt;font-family:"-apple-system-font",serif">If you're going to take a selfie video while holding the phone, line up the middle of the phone with your nose, extend your arm straight out from that point, and hold steady. This will ensure
your entire beautiful face is in the shot. For the best results, make sure your arm is fully extended.<o:p></o:p></span></li></ul>
</div>
<div>
<ul type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="color:black;mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;line-height:18.0pt;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1;background:white">
<span style="font-size:14.5pt;font-family:"-apple-system-font",serif">To create an improvised tripod, take a binder clip - yes, the office supply - and clip it to one side of the phone. Make sure the arms of the clip are up against the screen and back of the
phone, then place the side of the phone with the binder clip onto a flat surface. This will allow you to film yourself and free up your hands.<o:p></o:p></span></li></ul>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:18.0pt;background:white"><span style="font-size:14.5pt;font-family:"-apple-system-font",serif;color:black">Remember, these principles apply to taking photographs too! Now you've got all you need to be able to go out and
take some fantastic photos and videos to show the world how you live the life you want. When posting on social media, don't forget to tag the NFB and use the hashtag #HowEyeSeeIt (using the word "eye" rather than the letter "I"). We can't wait to see the great
ways in which you're raising the expectations of blind people every day.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
