How to film in teaching labs
Updated onArticleThis guide aims to provide some guidelines when it comes to planning and executing the filming of lab videos (see specific safety guidelines for producing content and images in lab settings). Filming on location is more complicated than self-capturing or self-filming as you are often working with multiple people and filming a complex process. Having a plan for your video - equipment needed, storyboarding, creating a shot list, practicing editing, all are important to efficiently create videos filmed in teaching labs.
