Violin & Viola players should be at an angle to the camera and the entire left hand/arm and entire right hand and bow stroke should be visible. The music stand should be out in front of you and away from the shot.
Playing Test & Audition VideosGetting the proper camera angles
Cello players should be straight on to the camera. This may require that you move the music stand to your left.
Double Bass players should also be straight on to the camera. This may require that you move the music stand to your left.
If you are using a phone, a vertical (portrait) mode video may be best for bassists.
