## 1. The basics are plain
If you’re going to wear something when you’re being filmed, it’s best to go for something simple and plain that gives a sense of cleanliness and doesn’t have a strong message. The only thing to be careful of is not wearing green clothes in front of a green screen.
## 2. Points to note when wearing patterned clothes
If the pattern is large, there is no problem, but it is better not to wear a pattern with a fine pattern such as herringbone or thin stripes. This is because it causes the “moire effect”.
The moiré effect is an optical illusion that occurs when the camera recognizes a fine pattern. You may have experienced the announcer’s jacket looking wavy. That is the moiré effect.
If you notice it after taking the picture, it is not worth worrying about. I also made a mistake in the episode where I talked about lighting.
## 3. Bottom wear
For bottom wear, anything comfortable is fine for bust-up photography. Even professional actors wear slippers for this kind of photography. Dress comfortably and relax as you prepare for the shoot.
Choosing your outfit is also important for making an attractive video. Keep the little points we’ve mentioned in mind here, and shoot an easy-to-watch video.
