Tips to Make Your Video Come out Perfect and Appealing
The planning and execution of your video is what matters. No amount of expensive cameras or highly skilled editing with VFX or motion graphics can make or break your video; only the correct method of presentation will! Here are some things you need to keep in mind while making your own travelogue, Vlog, vine, show reel, presentation, music video or anything that you want to showcase to the world:
- Eight-Second Rule
The headline of your video does little. It is what is within the first eight seconds of the video that interests the viewer according to a research.
If they don’t find it appealing, they move on! Holding your audience’s attention is key! Even if your media strategy looked great on paper, it might turn out differently on the reel. Being devalued in search results only because people chose to ignore you isn’t something you’d want, would you?
- Subject Promotion
Everything should be up front and with the proper focus. Your subject, a model, a product, an event or anything else should revolve around the subject. Going off-topic is what kills the interest. Keeping things interesting and quirky is what people like.
A good skill in writing and cinematography is all that it takes to understand how to shoot the content. Do not put long and cumbersome titles or over-the-top graphics. Choose music accordingly.
- Treat Your Audience With Respect And Gratitude
Always give your introduction at the end of your video. Just highlight your brand name and key features of the subject you are trying to portray.
Keep asking questions to your audience and make funny remarks; you will be rewarded handsomely in the comments section. A personal touch is very important to make the audience loyal towards your channel.
- Treat Your Camera Like Your Best Friend
Visualize your potential audience as if they were sitting in that very room with you. Be as personal as you can be! Avoid reading from the script, open your mouth and start talking.
Stay within the confines of your content and you won’t even know that you have covered all topics without many takes.
- Call-to-action
A call-to-action is critical in every video, Keep that for the last moment. Keep your video short enough to incorporate this part effectively. Try staying within a timeframe and not overstepping it.
The basic architectural need for any video is simplicity. The more simple and uncluttered your video is; the more appreciation you get.
Be a YouTube star!
Make the world smile with good content that they yearn to see!
