How to Create a White Background for Your Videos?


Can a simple change of your background color make a difference? Can this clean look help to provide a more professional, “cutting-edge” feel to you and your brand? 
A white background is more difficult to create than a black one, but it’s still not super complex — nothing compared to doing green screen lighting well.

Overexpose the Background to Make It Become Completely White!

If you overexpose anything, it becomes totally white to the camera. It’s easy to do with large white background paper, so that’s what I use. You could also use a white wall, or really anything that you can overexpose. If you have something blue and you’re able to overexpose it, you could make it become white too.

I will take you through a simple process to transform your home office or spare bedroom into a Film Set for the next Apple Commercial. We’ll discuss WHAT equipment you’ll need, how to set everything up AND I’ll show you a REAL Case Study from Facebook Marketing Authority, Amy Porterfield!



If you overexpose the background too much, you can create problems for yourself. It’s almost like the background becomes a giant light source, and when you point the lens directly into a light source like this, it can create lens flare which can de-saturate the image. It can also reduce contrast. You might not want a washed out low contrast image, so be ready to shade the lens. A lens shade, mattebox, or flag can help.

Have you used white backgrounds in your videos before? Are there additional tips you want to add? Feel free to post your feedback in the comments below.
