Camera Setup

The camera configuration used to capture the main content — single fixed angle, multi-camera, phone selfie, etc.

Multi-camera setups signal investment and broadcast quality, which read as 'professional' but can also feel corporate. Phone-selfie reads as authentic and immediate but can read as low-effort if the content doesn't justify it. The right setup depends on what your content is doing — an attack video benefits from intimacy; a policy explainer benefits from polish.
