    • Ensure the candidate and instrument are clearly visible throughout the performance

    • Each video must be less than 1GB

The camera should be static with candidate and instrument clearly in view.  The candidate’s face (either facing the camera or in profile) should be visible throughout the performance. Accompanists (if used) should also be in view. However, the candidate should be the main focus if viewing both is not possible.  It is also important for the jury to be able to hear the candidate and any accompaniment in appropriate balance
