There are videos out there from Minecraft gameplays to how to wire a plug and just about everything in between. For two years I have been making videos on my channel and here is my guide to creating your own videos.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Amateur Videos<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>What you need:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A phone<\/li>\n<li>Windows Movie Maker (or equivalent free video editing software)<\/li>\n<li>Something you want to share<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>That is simply it! You don\u2019t need any fancy cameras or the newest video effects tools, just something that you want to share or are passionate about and your phone. You may not even need video editing software if it\u2019s just a clip of you drawing or watching an F1 race. As long as you enjoy making it, it could be about any subject matter.\u00a0 This is a short video of my lighting. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=_g856pM2hj8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=_g856pM2hj8<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Try to keep your videos short (YouTube is kind of helpful as it has a 15 minute video limit unless you verify your account, although I would aim for 5 minutes maximum) and try to tell your story. You don\u2019t have to have music or big explosions every two seconds \u2013 just be yourself. It would be worth planning what you want to show\/say but you don\u2019t need to learn lines (I never do and half the time just have the script in my lap). If your video is a little dark or shaky, don\u2019t worry as YouTube has many great in-built features which can be used to enhance colour and stability in every video.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Professional Looking Videos<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>What you need:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A camcorder, with or without tripod (or very powerful camera although be careful if you are on the move \u2013 buy what you can cope with\/can afford to replace)<\/li>\n<li>Professional video editing software (Corel VideoStudio or Sony Vegas equivalent)<\/li>\n<li>Some Royalty Free Music (I use all free music from sites like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.incompetech.com\/music\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Incompetech<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.silvermansound.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Silverman Sound Studios<\/a>)<\/li>\n<li>A plan of what you want to share<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>From experience, a Canon digital camera for \u00a375 is plenty powerful enough to create a good quality video. You don\u2019t need to splash hundreds of pounds out on the newest Panasonic camcorder, just something that is preferably 720p or 1080p as a minimum (HD camera specs). Don\u2019t also buy something that you would be extremely upset about losing \u2013 out and about without a convenient adult to carry things equals a higher risk your camera could get broken.<\/p>\n<p>Also, don\u2019t spend thousands on the newest Adobe suite if you don\u2019t want to. Corel VideoStudio at \u00a360 does the perfect job \u2013 I have used it for three years and have to say it is very good for everything I have needed it to do. Windows Movie Maker however doesn\u2019t really do the job for me \u2013 every time I see a video using Windows Movie Maker, it is obvious from the very first title. It doesn\u2019t have the timeline capabilities of software like Corel, doesn\u2019t have any special effects that don\u2019t look cheesy and can basically do nothing other than put two or more videos together in a clunky way.<\/p>\n<p>Even though music isn\u2019t a necessity, it makes a video so much more engaging and interesting. You don\u2019t always have to pay for music \u2013 there are hundreds of sources of totally legal royalty free music. Make sure you read the terms and the licenses though as you are firstly damaging these people\u2019s small business and secondly, you could be breaking the law. The most common license is Creative Commons in its many forms, generally through attribution (giving credit) for free music. You don\u2019t need to write a novel, just copy the provided text for video descriptions or state the name of the song, who composed it, the website name and the website address. Some may insist on a link to the song and a link to the license terms but it will be made plain in the FAQs or in their terms.<\/p>\n<p>If you are trying to seem more professional, plan your video properly. Perhaps create a short title sequence or have fancy transitions between video clips, however still try to aim for 15 minutes maximum (most people\u2019s attention span). Plan each scene or each section and make sure each section has a nice transition so the video doesn\u2019t seem sharp. You don\u2019t need a script but do your research and try to keep your audience engaged. Showcase something you\u2019re good at or about something you find interesting. Have fun though and don\u2019t take it too seriously!<\/p>\n<p>Make sure YouTube ignites your passion and the videos don\u2019t bore you, then use it to share what you love. Filmmaking is a great tool that I really enjoy and is cheaper and more accessible than you think. If you have a passion, share it with others and inspire them. It\u2019s is a great way to tell a story that may never have been told before.<\/p>\n<p>Here is an example from my review show, My Angle: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=jJtbf5kyK7s\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=jJtbf5kyK7s<\/a>\u00a0 and the bloopers! <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=gLPGCJg4qfs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=gLPGCJg4qfs<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-7937\" src=\"https:\/\/potentialplusuk.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/skills-builder-Creativity-150x150.png\" alt=\"Skills Builder Creativity Logo\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/potentialplusuk.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/skills-builder-Creativity-66x66.png 66w, https:\/\/potentialplusuk.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/skills-builder-Creativity-75x75.png 75w, https:\/\/potentialplusuk.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/skills-builder-Creativity-100x100.png 100w, https:\/\/potentialplusuk.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/skills-builder-Creativity-125x125.png 125w, https:\/\/potentialplusuk.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/skills-builder-Creativity-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/potentialplusuk.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/skills-builder-Creativity-200x200.png 200w, https:\/\/potentialplusuk.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/skills-builder-Creativity-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/potentialplusuk.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/skills-builder-Creativity-400x400.png 400w, https:\/\/potentialplusuk.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/skills-builder-Creativity-500x500.png 500w, https:\/\/potentialplusuk.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/skills-builder-Creativity-600x600.png 600w, https:\/\/potentialplusuk.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/skills-builder-Creativity-700x700.png 700w, https:\/\/potentialplusuk.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/skills-builder-Creativity-800x800.png 800w, https:\/\/potentialplusuk.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/skills-builder-Creativity-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/potentialplusuk.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/skills-builder-Creativity-1200x1200.png 1200w, https:\/\/potentialplusuk.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/skills-builder-Creativity-1320x1320.png 1320w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From the Archive This article by Young Reporter, Daniel Dipper was originally published in the Summer 2017 edition of the Potential Plus UK ezine Ignis Online   [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1001684,"featured_media":8437,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"give_campaign_id":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[196,212,474,214],"tags":[197,239,198,227],"class_list":["post-8427","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-focus","category-from-the-archive","category-learning-activities","category-young-people","tag-creativity","tag-ignis","tag-skills-builder","tag-videos"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.6 -
