The filming guide

A reaction lives or dies on the moment you react, the text on screen, and whether it feels real.

Shooting a reaction

  1. Pick a clip or a sounds bank sound. Check its react-on cue, the named moment for the big reaction.
  2. One earphone in, one out.
  3. Phone propped at eye level. Front camera, face filling the frame.
  4. Record from a few seconds before you press play to two seconds after the clip ends.
  5. React with your face: eyebrows, mouth, the slow turn to camera. Small and real.
  6. 15 to 30 seconds total.

Using a bank sound? Attach the sound to the post rather than baking the audio in. Shared sounds pool views.
