Do this scene on the couch or sitting in a chair. We should at least be able to see you from the waist up.
Sit facing slightly off camera, we want to be able to see more than 1/2 of your face.

"Cousin, I can’t wait to show you this video! Your generation doesn’t appreciate the classics!"

"It just makes the internet look better."
