Wondering how to get started? No worries, we’re here to help! THE MAG has come up with five ways to make your video stand out!
1) PLAN YOUR VIDEO
Fitting your message into a two-minute video will involve a bit of planning! Grab a notebook and jot down what you’re going to say. Create a script and test it out a few times in the mirror before getting the camera out.
2) BE YOURSELF
It can be daunting to be yourself while you’re being filmed, but it will improve your video! To show your passion, don’t force anything. Talk to the camera as if you’re chatting with your best friend and watch the views pour in!
3) ADD MUSIC & SPECIAL EFFECTS
Editing your video will tie everything together! All you’ll need is video editing software or a free downloadable app. If you own a PC, try Windows Movie Maker. If you own a Mac, iMovie is a good choice. Or check out our top picks for video editing apps below!
4) ADD A CATCHY TITLE
A good title is like a mini advertisement! Make sure your title is punchy and informative.
5) PROMOTE
The only way people will know about your video is if you let them know! After you’re done creating your masterpiece, share your hard work with your family and friends on social networks!
