What Makes a Great Video?
Here are some tips to think about when making your video.
Videos should be no longer than 4 minutes in length.
Be yourself! We want to get to know who you are as a person. How will your life experience help you win Big Brother? How will you interact with the other houseguests?
Making a casting video is not about putting together the best skit or wearing the wackiest costumes. We're looking for real people and we want to see the real you.
Lighting Tips
1 If shooting indoors, make sure to shoot in a well lit room with lights in front of you to light your face.
2 Avoid shooting in front of a window with bright sunlight streaming in. This will cause silhouetting.
3 When shooting outdoors, avoid shooting with the sun directly behind you. This will also cause silhouetting.
4 Shoot during the day so we can see you instead of trying to see you in the dark.
Audio Tips
1 Speak loudly and clearly.
2 Find a relatively quiet area to shoot your video so ambient noises won’t distract from what you’re saying.
3 If shooting indoors, avoid shooting in loud and crowded rooms where your voice will be drowned out by other people.
4 If shooting outdoors, avoid shooting in loud areas and when it’s windy. The wind will distort the microphone.
Disclaimer
Your video will only be viewed by the executive producer and casting agents. It will NEVER be shared with anyone. If you don't want us to keep your video saved, you can upload your video-tape to Youtube on private mode, give us the link and delete it once we've viewed it.
