Lighting and tips for videos

[Mark M]

As videos are all the rage now the business has made the decision to try some out but the ones I've done so far havent had great lighting and dont look very professional. Bascially its going to be one or two people on the video talking. I appreciate I'm not going to get pro quality on a shoe string budget but is there anything I can do and/or buy to improve the quality of the videos and try and get a consistent feel to them.

Ive read a few articles that say to try and shoot the videos at the same time each day so the sun is on the same position and will cast the same shadows but any other tips appreciated.

Thanks, Mark

There are a shed ton of videos on YouTube about it, and his to setup simple lighting scenes and face contrasts.
