How to record your video

Tips for Dance entries · up to 5 minutes
Camera & framing
  • Hold the phone sideways (landscape) at waist height, 2–3 metres away.
  • Your whole body, head to toe, must stay in the frame the entire time — mark the floor area you can use.
Sound
  • Play your music from a speaker near the phone, not on headphones, so it is recorded with your dance.
Your performance
  • Clear the floor, wear comfortable footwear and warm up before you start.
  • Use the countdown to get into your starting position.
Checklist for every video
  • Record in a bright place — face a window or a lamp. Don’t stand with a light or window behind you.
  • Keep the phone steady on a stand, tripod or a stack of books instead of holding it.
  • Pick a quiet place: switch off the fan, TV and music, and tell your family you’re recording.
  • Use a plain, tidy background so the judges focus on you.
  • Charge your phone and use Wi-Fi if you can — a 5-minute video is about 60 MB to upload.
  • Record live in the app in one continuous take of up to 5 minutes. No editing, filters or old videos.
  • Watch the preview before you submit. You can record again until the contest date — only your latest video counts.

Tips for Fashion Show entries · up to 5 minutes
Camera & framing
  • Hold the phone upright (portrait) at waist height, 3–4 metres away, so your full outfit fits from head to toe.
Sound
  • Background music is optional — keep it soft.
Your performance
  • Walk towards the camera, pause and pose, turn to show the back, then walk away.

Tips for Other entries · up to 5 minutes
Camera & framing
  • Frame the shot so the judges can clearly see your talent — your hands for instruments or magic, your full body for acts.
Sound
  • If your act has sound, keep the phone close enough to record it clearly.
Your performance
  • Keep it safe: no fire, weapons or dangerous stunts.
  • If it helps, say in one line what you are going to perform before you start.
