All you need is a smart phone with a good camera and at least 70% battery before you start filming.
Once you have finished filming, you can upload the video to the RealRenta platform.
Here are our tips for filming:
- Try to keep it under 3 minutes for each room
- Make 1 video for every room in the house
- Film the façade of the house, as well as the front and back gardens and garages
- Film one room at a time completely, before moving on to the next room
- Get in as much light as possible before you start
- Turn on all the lights
- Open all the curtains and blinds
- Open all internal doors and cupboard doors
- Unlock external doors and gates
- Don’t move too fast- otherwise you will reduce the quality of the video
- Keep the camera steady and avoid too much movement
- Hold your phone sideways- in landscape view all throughout
- Start the video with an intro including your name and that you are doing a condition report and mention the address of the property
- Start in the corner of each room and angle your camera for 3 seconds first towards the ceiling, then the wall and then the floor.
- Film at least 2 opposite sides or complete all 4 of the corners
- Film any dirt, scuffs and nail holes very closely for 3 seconds- turn the light on your phone on if you need to
- Get a shot of all removable inventory items and appliances- get shots of the make and model, air filters, user manuals etc
- Announce each area/room, as you start filming
