What should I make my youtube video about?

December 9th, 2012 2 comments

Something random and fun please.

Some suggestions in general due to you made no mention of what you like to give any ideas for:

Do you like to be goofy, do that, skits on goofiness.
Are you the family comedian, come up with some original comedy skits.
Do you like to sing, do that or play an instrument or both, then do that.
Do you draw or paint, put the camera on and show people how to start and finish either or or both.

Do you like getting all the good gossip from friends, family or otherwise? Go around with a microphone and get it all down. Do you have an eye for what is trending in your neighborhood or beyond, what is liked about your school or school extracurricular activities, such as, how’s the cheer leading team doing, what about the football players, maybe you could video them and put it up as to the highlights and such. w

You could do interviews of people, this can cover a huge area of topics.
You might include what career someone chose, why, and so on. You could even do this on your city/town officials, such as, the fire dept., the police dept. Town/City Hall and others you can think of like the Librarian, and ask why they got into the line of work they did and what they find interesting in their daily duties and would they choose the same career again if they could do it over again. Things of that nature and whatever else you can add/come up with. You can make it serious or goofy or a little of both for any of what you decide to do.

Much of what you choose to do will depend on you and your nature, are you outgoing or are you quiet and reserved? Do you have no problem coming up with new trends, walking up to people to get the scoop, then put some up on youtube and see if it catches on.

Do you like to model, go to a local store and ask if you and friends can model some of their clothing at a local nursing home and then get the comments of the people viewing the attire all while you add some of your own along with it. The seniors get to interact, you get your video, and the store will get free advertising when you put it up on youtube.

Do make sure you check for any and all legal release papers of consent from anyone that you include in your youtube video if it is more than just you. You can find all kinds of forms online to cover this. Include name(s), address(es), how they participate and that there is no remuneration, that it is strictly for the enjoyment of the ones involved and for putting on youtube and that they agree to being on youtube. If not then they should not be in the video. Also state that the clothes and any other items they allow if they did, may not come back in the new condition they left and that you are not to be held responsible nor anyone else wearing the outfits as things can and do happen and can get out of your control. Meaning a soda from a customer spilled on an outfit, you should not be help responsible. This is not the full extent of a release, just some of the most important.

Do you like to sew, do some of your own designs from embroidery by hand or machine to making an outfit or a pocketbook that you designed. Embellishments make it stand out from the rest.

I am sure you will think of something. Usually helps to get a paper and pen and fold in half, then on one side write what you like to do and the other side what you hate. This will help to give you an idea of the liked things to expand on for doing your video. From this "like" list take a few of the likes and see what you can come up with for adding more thoughts and things to do that will make your video or whatever you do a hit.

You need to run it by your parent(s). Parents are also a great source of information for ideas of things to do, give them a try, they just might surprize you! You might want to run it by other family members, friends (only if you think they will not steal your ideas and try to beat you to the punch or you could also include them and then brainstorm for even more ideas), and see what they think is good or needs fixing or just needs to go. Do not get mad or offended when someone criticizes, take it for what it is and it is always your choice to go and make a change or leave it as it. After all it is your idea and work you are trying to get across to a worldwide audience and in the end they will be your ultimate critic/guide by how many hits you get and if what you did is liked or not. Also, they will leave comments, develope a thick skin because some people are downright mean and don’t take time to choose their words carefully so as not to hurt feelings. They just blurt whatever comes to mind. Education anyone??? LOL

I hope something here helps you and I wish you the best of luck in whatever you decide to do in your YouTube video! Have a great finish to the rest of your summer!
