Starting your own YouTube channel is definitely a great idea. But the execution can be quite difficult. To be honest, making a good video requires several detailing to maintain. In case you are absolutely sure about making your own YouTube hit, here are some video tips to make yourself look like a pro.
Lights – Camera – Video!
1. Stick to a genre
Doing 10 different things will only confuse the audience and even you. So, it is better to do that you are best at. Make sure if it is cooking, you know to cook well or if you are trying your hand at comedy, first give a trial run off camera.
2. Don’t make way too many characters
If you don’t want people to think that you suffer from a split personality, don’t introduce your entire neighborhood. Keep it simple, so that it is easier to understand.
3. Get some good camera
The first impression matters a lot. Forget your phone camera (Only if you have an iPhone, you are good to go). Else please get a DSLR!
4. Please go for a background check!
Be a Roman of Rome! Confused? Make sure your background is matching with the theme. Else it can look really stupid.
5. Lights on!
Balance the light. If required, get a professional. They will help you fix the lights and make sure everything looks fine.
6. Don’t try to be jack of all trades
Days of Disney are gone. Singing, dancing, poetry, comedy… Keep some for others too. Do what you are best at.
7. Learn how to face camera
Please, please, please. Follow this. Do some crash course, take help from some professional friend or whatever; but do not give those blank stares or constant winking! Just looks awful.
8. Wear something that reflects your personality
Yes, don’t go for clothes that won’t suit your video. For example, it is better to wear an apron while doing a cooking show rather than a leather jacket. Rest if you can bring some innovation, it is absolutely up to you.
9. Keep it original
If you didn’t know, even YouTube videos have copyright. So, for your best, don’t copy!
10. Add Animals. Always works
This just works for everyone. A cute dog, funny cat, talking parrot or at least a goldfish. Make sure your pet is legal (if you are from the Middle East, pet whatever you want to).
11. Get your friends on board
Add more ideas. Ask your good friends for help and innovative ideas. You know you had some really crazy moments together with your girlfriend, so make sure you try doing it now too.
12. Keep a good background score
This is the time you are to use your musician friends. Ask them to make you some good tune that will be your background score as well as hits the right note.
Always go for a complete presentation. It is only then you can make the videos look better and sound perfect. So, start your vlogging career, and you can thank me later!
