Answer(s) to this Question (
1 / 4
)
Creating and Using an Audition Tape
Rule #1: Get a tripod. “Documentary-style” shaky camera shots are comical at best and you will wind up looking like your Aunt Betsy filmed you as you performed for the twins´ birthday party. You won´t impress a prospective employer that way.
If possible, get your audition tapes done professionally. The expense will be repaid when you get twice as many gigs with a good tape as you could have with a bad one.
Performance Tape 1
- Get someone who is good at filming, lighting and editing to film you. Don't rely on a non-professional.
Performance Tape 2
When setting up your magic promotion tape, script everything but be sure to include shots taken at your previous shows; it illustrates that you can work well for an audience.
Performance Tape 3
- No special effects, please…just straight cinematography.
