This document discusses elements of good sound and lighting for videos. It recommends getting close to the subject with the microphone, being aware of where the microphone is located on the device, and surveying the environment for natural sound or obstacles. While a phone can be used, it strongly suggests using an external microphone for better audio quality. For lighting, it advises surveying the surroundings to identify existing light sources and whether window light or shooting in shadows would be better, and using additional lamps or flashlights if more light is needed.
