Shooting a video of yourself by yourself can be tricky, time-consuming and you can end up with an out of focus video of half your face. Here's what I've figured out:
Figure out where your head is going to be, and put something in that place
You can use a balloon, a mannequin, a lamp, a light stand, anything. It also helps to mark a spot on the floor with tape, a Post-It note, or chalk to hold your spot later.
Setup your camera to focus on the fake "you"
Move your camera and tripod to get the fake "you" lined up well, and then adjust focus and lighting accordingly. Make sure any microphones you're using are also ready to go. It also could help to do a mic test as well.
Ready to record!
When it's good to go, hit record and move the object out of the way, take a deep breath and start your video!
