Here are some starting points: Start where you are with what you have.

Keep in mind, this is video. We need microphones to capture audio, cameras to capture the visuals and lights so we can see what is happening.
Also remember to check for your backgrounds and static, elements within your video frame that cause distractions. More on framing soon.
