    I recently bought a white balance card for $15 bucks and it was a great investment because it helps me to get my white balance perfect before recording. The key to getting better at filming yourself is getting some quality lighting and understanding white balance, exposure, and aperture and how they all work together. Happy creating and good luck to everyone on your journey!

    Here's something I do that would help people that don't have a flip out screen like you said in tip 1 (I do have a flip screen, but the camera is too far away for me to do anything while in front of it). If you know where you want to stand/sit to record, you can put something tall enough right in that spot, and pull focus on that from the behind the camera. I use my desk chair with a wooden stool on top of it, then put something I can focus on, on the stool. Then I pull my focus until that object is in focus. Since it's directly where I'll be standing/sitting, I know that I will be in focus when I start recording.

    Quick tip for all who just go and order a NinjaV or an even more expensive monitor. Chances are you got a monitor at home already (because you cannot edit your video without a screen lol) just plug the hdmi cable into your pc monitor and your good to go - no extra cost and a bigger screen - at least that's the best advice I would give you when filming at home!

    You can monitor yourself by not recording ON the camera and instead w/ Sony EV10 I connected micro HDMI to a HDMI capture usb on my Macbook, and record into OBS Studio. Then you can see yourself live on your laptop screen, instead of the tiny Camera screen.
    Then I pipe audio via an audio interface + microphone and multitrack the audio, also into OBS Studio.
