Practical Video Shooting Tips
Choose a Great Setting for Your Videos! Your choice of setting will vary,
depending on the theme of your YouTube channel. Whether you’re an RV- or
VanDweller, a Life-After-Divorce Coach or something else, choose an
appropriate setting for your videos that reflects your Purpose and feeds your
Target Audience the experience they’re seeking.
Tips for making visually appealing videos:
- Your Face. If the theme of your videos is YOU, then background and
setting aren’t as important as it is for others. All the audience wants to see is
you. To pull this off, you need to be expressive, outgoing, fun and 100% real.
YouTube stars who create channels about themselves are bold, brave and
have strong personalities. If this is the type of channel you’re creating, the
camera will focus on your face. - LOCATON! LOCATION! LOCATION! If YOU aren’t the theme of
your channel, location matters. If you’re a VanDweller or RVer like me —
get out of your RV or Van! Seriously, that gets boring fast, unless YOU are
the theme — but that’s hard to pull off for most people. Make your ‘set’
visually appealing; go to a gorgeous location, take a few wardrobe options,
and shoot multiple videos while you’re there. Take a look at the most
successful RV and VanDweller YouTubers, most of them shoot at fun and
beautiful locations or show some other visually appealing content. - If you don’t travel. If you don’t travel and don’t have awe inspiring
vistas to use as your backdrop, create a warm an inviting space to shoot your
videos. Make sure it’s uncluttered, clean, warm and bright. Get out of your
house, van or RV!!!
