Even though your YouTube subscribers follow your channel to see YOU... you are not the only thing that appears in the image. The props you use, the clothes you and your guests wear, and the background used contribute to creating the overall style you present. Be mindful when choosing each of these details for a new video and ask yourself, "What does my video background say about me or my YouTube image?" before filming.
There are a large number of variants of photo backgrounds to use that work excellently for video filming. Background paper on rolls is available in several different widths, fabric backgrounds in various sizes, and the fabric background with metal frame that can easily be placed in any environment.
Paper backgrounds on rolls are very cost-effective and give you the ability to easily vary the color and shade of your video background as the range is very large. If you want a background that accommodates yourself and several guests or provides space for movements if you, for example, want to show the latest dance steps, choose background paper with a width of 2.72 meters. For these paper backgrounds, there are ready-made stand sets that make it easy to place the background, or if you have a fixed place where you produce your videos, wall or ceiling mounting might work best.
If you don't have a fixed place that works as your video studio, we recommend the background stands. To lock the background roll at the length you want and not roll out, you can use a clamp or Colorama's smart solution that is inserted into the paper core on the background paper.
If you don't have space for background stands, there are other simple solutions. You can cut the appropriate length and tape it to the wall. Or, lay the paper roll on the floor near the wall and pull out the length you need and attach the paper to the wall. Once you have finished filming, the background paper can be rolled up on the roll and reused for the next filming session.
Use color to create a strategy for your YouTube channel! Bright and clear colors compared to dark shades and natural tones convey very different impressions. Consider things like your personality, your YouTube channel's focus and subjects, and who your intended audience is and what they are most receptive to, and then choose color/pattern that will help make your persona memorable.
The color of your background is the first thing people will notice in your videos so make sure the color you choose enhances the message in the video. If your weekly video is a happy and exciting "Story Time", try a bright and fun background color like Lagoon, Royal Purple, or Summer Green. Or consider consistently sticking to 2-3 different colors/patterns in your videos to help create a recognizable style for your channel.
A YouTube vlogger known for their strong and loud personality might choose a colored background to enhance their energy.
A vlogger known for their natural and subtle makeup style might choose a solid background in a neutral color tone to complement their video theme. Green and brown shades also contribute to creating an organic feel.
A fashion and style vlogger with an ascending channel and versatile topics might choose to swap out various patterned backgrounds depending on the week's video theme. Choose Manfrotto Collapsible backgrounds that can easily be set up in any environment and thanks to their construction are completely flat and give a very professional impression.
Now that you have chosen a stylish and suitable background for your YouTube videos, you should also consider how your videos are lit. By using LED video lighting, you can create uniform lighting that gives your videos a personal touch. Aifo offers a range of different lighting solutions tailored to your expression.
