We are asking you to upload your own, new piece that you have created following the previous challenges in the bootcamp. Please do not upload yourself playing the song you have worked on for the rest of the bootcamp.
We recommend filming your performance in a room with minimal distractions so you don’t get interrupted. Ensure the room is well lit and that you are in focus. Turn the television off, wait for the washing machine to finish its cycle, put your phone on silent and shut the doors so no one can accidentally walk into shot.
There is nothing worse than delivering an incredible performance, only to discover that it wasn’t captured on video! For Trinity College London digital music exams, all submissions must be one continuous recorded piece of footage. Edits and/or post-production effects will render the submission ineligible – so treat your final Bootcamp performance the same way.
Ensure you have everything you need in the room and within reach of where you will be standing or sitting for the recording. This includes a drink, sheet music and stand, picks etc.
We will need to see your entire instrument, your hands and face. Ensure that you and your instrument remain in frame for the duration of the recording. One top tip would be to use masking tape to mark an X on the floor for you to stand or sit on and remain in shot.
Check you are happy with your submission, that you and your instrument remain in shot and that there is no distracting background noise.
We want to easily see whom we’re watching! Make sure you use your name in your YouTube video name. For full YouTube and submission details, click here.
This means that your video won't appear to others who visit the 'Videos' tab of your channel page and shouldn't show up in YouTube's search results, but the Trinity College London moderators will be able to see it. This helps everyone stay as safe as possible online.
