Recommendations for optimal home video recordings.

If filming with a phone, always use the main camera (rather than the selfie camera) to ensure high quality video Make sure the room or area is well lit Do not cover the camera lens with your fingers During recording the device should be positioned horizontally (not vertically) Make sure the microphone/sound volume is set at maximum Whenever possible, it is best for a second party to film rather than the patient film themselves. Make sure to keep enough space between you in the subject so their whole body (or area of interest) is in the frame Make sure the subject is in focus before filming Focus on capturing the abnormal movement of interest Keep the camera steady and, if possible, use a tripod Do your best to avoid objects (or animals) obstructing the view Minimize ambient noise When possible provide multiple recordings of the same symptom Obtain information how to upload the video into electronic medical records or to the health provider
