WHAT SHOULD YOU KEEP IN MIND? MODELING & E-CASTING GUIDE

DO

  • Take your time: Please read through the entire request/instructions carefully.

  • Be cheerful and relaxed during the recording.

  • Let the child be a child—we want to see their true personality.

  • Interview the child and ask them questions from off-camera.

  • Make sure they have clean clothes, hands, etc.

  • Film in daylight, preferably against a neutral background.

  • Short videos/interviews: Short and sweet.

  • Show something personal: Feel free to goof around and play freely.

  • Real scenes from your life—for example, the child has drawn a picture and talks about it.

DON`T

  • Being afraid of the task or the instructions.

  • Avoid long pauses in speech and endless videos.

  • Asking too many questions that the children can’t answer.

  • Being distracted or unmotivated.

  • Reciting the text in the introduction video by heart.

  • Too much clutter or distracting backgrounds.

  • Too much background noise.
