2025 Georgia Boot 4-H Trailblazers Application Video Tips

Main points you want to cover in the video. Examples:

Introduce yourself - First name, age, state, and how long you have been in 4-H.
Briefly describe your greatest 4-H accomplishment or your proudest moment in 4-H.
What’s your next step for your project?

The video should be brief, no longer than 1 minute.
Be yourself and try to have fun with it! (Try to use a conversational tone vs. reading from a script.)

No fancy equipment needed. You can film using your phone.
Keep the phone horizontal while filming. Ideally, use a tripod or rest the phone on a steady surface.
Make sure you are in a quiet place – limit the background noise as much as possible.
Try to set the phone up so that it’s approximately at eye-level with you. Ideally, your face and shoulders will fill most of the frame without too much blank space around you.
Try to make sure you have enough light on your face to be seen clearly. Try to avoid having lights or bright windows behind you as you film—this will create a silhouette effect in the video.
