I came across this video from the channel “Content Creators” and thought it was too good not to share with y’all. This video shows you how to frame your shot and use lighting to your advantage, all for less than $100
And here are some of the products they recommend (fyi I’m an Amazon affiliate and may earn a small commission from certain purchases):
Amazon Basics Tripod (doubles as a selfie stick):
Softbox Key Light w/ remote (this is your main light):
Neewer RGB magnetic stick light (excellent accent light or rim light):
DJI Mic Mini (currently my favorite mic for the price, with excellent noise cancellation):
