 * || [[image:reflecting light.png width="411" height="233"]] || **Reflecting Light.**A reflector comes in handy because it allows you to diffuse the harsh rays, giving you even lighting. You can check out some reflectors [|here] . If you’re on a budget, a cool little tip is to use wax paper or a white sheet to diffuse the light. ||  ||

Sound
When you're in a noisy setting, use a bed sheet or comforter to close yourself in to record your audio! ||
