How to record for your exam

Camera Angle

The camera angle should be side on and include face, fingers and pedal.

It’s generally ideal to find a way to support the camera on something that doesn’t require you to hold it.

An example of an ideal position is here:

Piano Performance | UW-Milwaukee Peck School of the Arts
Face, fingers and pedal are visible

Script

You will need to say your script. It will follow this format and I should have the script uploaded to your student page as well.

My name is Jane Smith. Today is the <date> and I am presenting for an examination in <name of subject (instrument)>, Grade X. My first piece is XXXXX.”

And in between each piece:

“I will now play XXXX.”

Device to use

Avoid laptops to record your performance. Phones and tablets are acceptable.

Continuous Take

The entire performance needs to be done in one take.
