+
+## 3. Background
+
+Keep the background clean and uncluttered to avoid distractions. A neutral background is often best.
+
+## 4. Sound Quality
+
+Use an external microphone if possible for clearer audio. Minimize background noise and echo.

+## 5. Framing
 
-## Framing
+Frame yourself well in the shot, leaving some headroom and ensuring you're centered in the video.
 
 - Minimum framing: from belly button to 10cm (3 inches) above the signer's head.
 - Maintain consistent framing throughout a series.
 - Position camera at shoulder or sternum level.
 
+- Example:

+
+Maintain eye contact with the camera to engage with your audience.

+
+## 9. Technical Checks
