How to shoot a short profile video with your phone
Why a profile video matters so much
Profiles with a video are displayed at the very top of our listings. Plus, they get their own circle in the stories directly on the homepage. Customers will notice your profile much faster than standard ads.
You don't need any expensive equipment or a professional crew to film it. Your own mobile phone, which you carry in your pocket every day, is all you need. Just ten to twenty seconds of footage is enough.
If you already advertise your services elsewhere, transferring your profile to us is very easy. Just use the easy profile transfer via a link to your existing ad. The system will take over your photos, texts, and services.
How to properly hold and set up your phone
Always hold your phone vertically while filming so the video perfectly matches the mobile viewing format. This way, the image fills the entire phone screen without unnecessary black borders on the sides. Vertical shots look natural and modern in mobile apps.
Before you start recording, check that your camera lens is clean. Fingerprints on the glass can unpleasantly blur the image and ruin the overall impression. A clean lens ensures sharpness and a clear ten to twenty seconds of your message.
During filming, try to keep your hand as steady as possible or prop the phone against a solid surface. Unnecessary shaking doesn't look good and distracts viewers. You can then upload your short clip directly into the free registration on our website.
Lighting and background for your video
Choose a room with plenty of natural light for filming. Sit or stand facing a window so your face is clearly visible. On the other hand, dark and poorly lit videos attract no one and lose quality.
Backlighting, such as a turned-on lamp or a window behind you, will create a silhouette in the shot. Customers will then see only a dark outline instead of you. Therefore, always point the light toward the front of your body.
The background behind you should be tidy and calm, without distracting elements. The cleaner the space behind you, the more the essentials will stand out. You then send the recorded footage to the administrator for approval along with your other materials.
What to say and how to finish the video
Within ten to twenty seconds, introduce yourself and invite customers to your profile. Speak calmly, clearly, and naturally, as if you were talking to an acquaintance. A longer run time isn't necessary, as short formats hold attention best.
Once you finish filming, save the video to your phone gallery and upload it to your administration panel. The Sinzerce.cz watermark is automatically added to approved photos and videos. Remember, our system will not publish photos or videos featuring someone else's logo.
Once the administrator approves your profile and video, you get three days of visible contact details completely free of charge. If you need help with settings or technical details, write to us at our contact email. We are happy to help you with the whole process.
