[Perform-Talk] Editing videos nonvisually

[Bridgit Kuenning-Pollpeter]

Chris,

For actually taking videos, the facial recognition feature on iPhones usually works pretty well as long as the object you're taking a pic of is human/animal and looking at the camera, ha. However, I find that when I hold my phone about chest level and point in the direction of my intended view, I take pretty good pics and videos. I usually have things right in frame. Depending on how low or high a subject is, I will back up or lower my own body but keep my phone at chest level.

As for taking self-portraits, I have worked up a set up in my Zoom room. I initially had sighted help, but I now know how I need to place my camera so I'm in frame. When I want to take pics/vids of myself, I prop my phone or iPad up where I know it works and start recording.

Interested what tips others have found to work.

Bridgit

Great question, Bridgit! Along the same line, I would love to know any strategies that totally blind people use to take decent-quality videos and/or photos using the iPhone camera. As it is, I don't trust myself with a camera at all, but I would love to be able to create some visually appealing videos of performances, live streams, and other such content for posting on social media. Any tips anyone can offer Bridgit and/or myself would be most appreciated!
