How to create the perfect video review
As our Video Trial Team continues to grow, and as more of you try your hand at creating video reviews, we thought the time was ripe to give you some pointers on how to create the perfect video review.
In the video above, we cover things like location, how to frame your shot, the filming itself, and editing. We’ve also included the best way to send your video files – because having to google how to do it when your file is too big to send via email is just annoying and time-consuming.
Oh, and we’ve also created this handy checklist for you!
Do you enjoy creating video reviews? Do you have any tips for those who are new to the video game?

I find video reviews quite daunting really and i think I can express myself much better through a written review, I am not myself if I did a video review.

This video was perfect. I've just signed on to do my first video trial team and to say I'm nervous is an understatement.

I haven't done a video review in a while but I know the first time I made one it was in portrait mode and I realised it was wrong when I loaded it onto my computer and wanted to check it was okay before sending, then I had to start again :) Video reviews have always made me nervous.

Great tips but video reviewing is not for me. I don't even like having my photo taken.

Great tips but it is my technophobia and lack of equipment that put me off. I'm certainly not shy, lol!

Great tips there I have not got the art of making a good video, I tend to focus on my flaws so I do prefer the written reviews.

Getting the lighting right is the absolute hardest! I need to rethink my set up.

Oops forgot to say that I had never ever sent a video anywhere and found WeTransfer very easy to do.

I hate cameras so doing a video would scare me to death if I had to show myself.
It's funny though, I belong to a site and had to do a video review on the product (didn't have to show your face) and although scared, I did it but it was so scarey just even showing my hands playing with the product :-/
I applaud all the ladies that can do videos......certainly lovely to watch you all. :-)
