This is my first attempt to practice with a video.
For future attempts I will get a camera person, and hope to do more outside, but I was just checking more to see how things look on the webcam, which is a logitech.

The music is from youtube "star wars battle theme music"  is a decent search to use.
This I believe was Sith Battle. (not claiming music rights, it was just playing in background)

Not bad for a first go. Are you using a tripod or leaning the camera/phone against something? I use a tripod myself and try to use stuff that's going to be behind me as a reference for aiming the phone. Plus, I do a test shot or two to make sure I'm in frame where I want to be for the video. Just some tips so you don't have to stoop as much. Unless the camera/phone is just leaning on something, then you've gotta do what you've gotta do. Wink

Good attempt for your first try.  Scifidude is right, use something behind you as a reference point to aim your camera. I'm also using a tripod that I can extend and collapse dependent on where I set it up.

To answer your questions : tripod, or is camera leaning against something.
The webcam is clipped/ standing on the desktop pc monitor. 

Good points on using background for reference, thanks.

Actually, that's helpful because monitors usually have a swivel mount, so you should be able to adjust it.
