#GetEczemaWise – Eczema Reflections
For Eczema Awareness Month 2020, we are asking our community to #GetEczemaWise. An important part of of getting eczema wise is understanding your own eczema journey. Take time to reflect on your eczema. How has eczema affected your life negatively and/or positively?
If you’re ready, share your #EczemaReflection on social media, or share your short (1-2 sentence) eczema reflection video* with NEA by uploading it here. Please refer to video tips below if you’d like your video to be considered for use in a future compilation or individual share on social media.
*By uploading your eczema reflection video, you are agreeing to allow NEA to use it for future website and/or social media content.
READING/SPEAKING GUIDELINES
- Please read each fact/reflection 5-6 times in a row, with 3-5 seconds between each reading.
- Each reading can have a slightly different vibe to give us a variety of takes to choose from.
- Don’t read too quickly, but also not too slowly
- Enunciate
- Look into the camera so it appears that you’re looking right at the viewer. (This might be tricky if you’re filming on a phone; you might have to experiment a bit.)
- Allow time after you press record before starting to speak and time after you speak before pressing stop record. We need that extra time before and after for editing.
FILMING GUIDELINES
- Hold your smartphone or tablet horizontally.
- Choose a location with good lighting. Avoid backlighting with a window or bright source of light directly behind you, which causes a silhouette.
- Find a quiet location without ambient noise, and have your cell phone/computer muted (not on vibrate for the phone)
- Avoid wearing white, high-contrast or busy patters or stripes. Avoid shiny or jangly jewelry. Neutrals and solid colors other than bright red work well. Subtle patterns are okay.
- If possible, have someone else film you rather than a selfie for better perspective.
- If you’re filming from your computer, have the computer camera at eye level. Test distance fro the computer screen to get the best effect.
