Choose Your Video Topic Carefully

Before you even begin to record a video on YouTube, you’ll want to decide on the topic of your video. Before you choose a topic, you should ask yourself several questions. What are you good at? What are you knowledgeable about? What are you passionate about? What is something you think your audience would like to hear about? What is something your audience wouldn’t expect to hear from you? Once you’ve decided on your topic, you can then create an outline for your video. This outline will help you stay on track with your video and make sure it gets its point across. When you have an outline, you can then start writing the script for your video and record the video, all at the same time.

Make Your Videos Short and to the Point

Not only should you make sure your video is about a certain topic, but you also want to ensure it is short and to the point. People are very short on time these days and have very little patience. They also don’t want to sit through a long-winded, drawn-out video. They also don’t want to have to click away to another site. YouTube is where they are and where they want to stay. People want to click on a video, see what they’re interested in, and then be on their way. If you make your video short, you’ll be more likely to keep your audience’s attention and have them come back for more.

Know Your Video Resolution Beforehand

The first thing you should know before creating a YouTube video is the resolution of the video. YouTube recommends that you shoot in 1080p Full HD at 60 frames per second. The reason behind this is that 1080p Full HD is the highest quality video you can shoot on most cameras and computers. This will ensure your video isn’t grainy or pixilated. If you decide to shoot in a lower quality, your video will be grainy and pixilated. This doesn’t look professional, and it won’t be something people will want to watch.

Stick to One Brand Color

Before you even begin to create your video, you should decide on a brand color. You can either choose a color that is already associated with your channel or create one yourself. This color will be tied in with every video you create, so it’s a good idea to be as consistent with it as possible. You can use this color in the background, on the curtains where the video is shot, on the props used in the video, on the shirts or clothes of the people in the video, and in the logo.

Add Footage of Bouncing Ball for Motion Awareness

In the beginning of your video, you’ll want to add footage of a bouncing ball. This is something that has been used for decades for people who make videos and documentaries. However, when you add this footage, it also sends a message to people watching your video. It alerts them that the video is about to start and also helps them stay focused on the video. This bouncing ball footage can be added using a program called Mango. This program can be used to edit your video and add the bouncing ball footage at the beginning.

Don’t Forget the Audio

Along with choosing a topic, writing a script, and filming your video, you also want to make sure you focus on the audio of your video. The audio of your video is just as important as the video itself. The audio recording of your video can either make or break your video. If the audio is low, it can make the video difficult to hear. If the audio is too loud, it can be distracting and annoying. It can cause viewers to either turn down their volume or turn the video off completely. If you focus on the audio of your video, you won’t have to worry about these issues.

Conclusion

If you want to make a video and have it seen, it’s important to follow these tips. You should choose a topic that you’re knowledgeable about. Make sure your video is short and to the point and make sure the audio is up to par with the video. You should also be consistent with your branding, and make sure you add the bouncing ball footage at the beginning of the video. With these tips in mind, you’re on the right path to creating a video that will be seen.
