Candidate video clip

Candidates are required to provide a short (less than 90 seconds) campaign video. Candidate video clips will be published on podiatry.org.au

The short video provides an opportunity for you (the candidate) to present to voters (members) and highlight what you bring to the APodA board and why members should vote for you. Remember the video is about you and your candidacy and should not specifically refer to other candidates. Offensive material will not be published.

The video may be provided in any electronic format, provided it is able to be sent electronically. Below are a few tips and suggestions for preparing your video.

Your iPhone or Android Phone will make great videos with a few helpful tips:

• Use plenty of light
• Strategically pick your background
• Eliminate background noise to ensure clear audio
• Avoid shaky footage by setting your phone or camera on a sturdy surface
• Record in landscape mode - You'll thank us later!
• Take note of your outfit and how it presents on camera
• Practice speaking in front of a mirror to get comfortable before recording
• Use calm open body language and speak slowly - remember to smile!
• If you're feeling adventurous you can always edit your video through a range of free platforms - try iMovies or ClipChamp
