Okay let's not talk about video editing or not video editing video recording or workflow so I'm in no
way shape or form a professional videographer or film maker.
I'm just a guy who records the videos for fun and for living but nothing really professional I'm doing
this as a amateur I can say amateur but nothing really really big.
And here I'm going to give you some things that you need to know for the video at workflow.
Full disclaimer here again that every single video that you will create depending on who you are may
be completely different from the things that I create or I even know so I could not know what type of
video that you want to create.
I just cannot know you can ask me directly if you want for your own workflow it's not a problem I'm
always available.
But every single individual is creating completely different thing which is completely unique to himself.
So that what do you what makes you unique.
So just know that my workflow may work for you and it may not work for you as well.
I tried to make this workflow as universal as possible.
This is very very simple symbols and simple workflow and it will work for the majority of the cases
but not for the every single case.
So let's just talk about this and then you we will decide whether this is the best option for you.
One additional thing that in add an additional materials I will include some YouTube videos that I myself
watch or some courses or add something like that I will include every single thing that I know that
allowed me to learn this stuff that I am teaching you right now that allow me to create better videos
better lighting better recording setup etc etc. because I don't want to steal their ideas I just want
to show you what I learned from and then you can learn it from as well.
Evey tool they apply for you.
So here is recording workflow that you will need to do.
If you are doing the majority of the type of the videos that we are talking about.
So what are going to divide your recording session into two separate sections sessions basically the
preproduction and recording itself.
Or we can call it production after this comes editing and we're going to talk about editing in the last
election.
I'm going to explain that I'm not just explained the editing I'm going to show you how to edit I cannot
show how to record the videos because every single video is completely completely different and you
can do so many different things that you need to come up with the recording yourself with your own experience.
Unfortunately no one will can teach you what is your style.
That's why I cannot I will not I'm not showing you.
I wanted to show you how to record the video but I will just show you how I am recording video of how
I feel comfortable to do so and it too it will not be correct.
You need to come up with what is comfortable for you with time and I'm pretty sure that when you are
intermediate level and you already know what type of things is not comfortable for you and this workflow
the seven steps will help you to make it just a bit more efficient.
So let's start with the preproduction.
You need to start with the writing of your video idea and start choosing the best one.
Always start with the different ideas of the few ideas for your YouTube video and just choose whether
which one you feel comfortable to create right now that's what you are.
You're choosing what the best one means best one for you right now or you can just go and choose the
whatever you think is the best one for your channel.
At the moment I highly suggest you do choose which one you feel to to be better because again you're
doing this for yourself.
If you are thinking for growth directly not just for having fun for yourself and having pleasure of
creating just for this then you can go with it choose the best one which you feel will be the best for
your viewers not for yourself then script.
Script script always create the script for your videos all the ways create at least some type of outline
what your video will be the text that you will talk to different footages that you'll need to record
every single thing unique it needs to be scripted prepared in advance because your you may change it
a lot of times it just it easier to script first and then change some things in script then record and
then each and then really record anything that you didn't like just script everything beforehand.
I don't say that write every single word that you will say and write every single picture and every
single frame that will pop up on your screen.
No I'm totally talking about only about outlines and only about things that is most important for the
video the key things.
Script the key things do not script details if you script the details that's even better because this
will increase the time workflow of the recording but if you go just with the main things this will be
just fine as well.
Next is preparation for the recording.
Absolutely prepared for the recording so you will not be in the mid recording you not runaway is looking
for the things and looking for the standings are looking for the microphones etc etc..
Prepare everything prepare your lighting and get always try to use the separate lighting or try to use
the natural I think meaning that record outside or near the window.
Prepare your camera or cameras if you're recording the idea with a multi camera.
I sometimes do recall with a multi camera but it's very rare and prepared a sound.
It's better to have a microphone separately and I can.
I wrote it in a recording workflow and prepared the microphone or microphones usually the microphone
that is within your camera or phone or whatever your recording is not that good.
Well it's actually pretty good but it's better to have a separate camera separate make for while or
at least the lab Mike which is very very cheap thing to have and you can record it separately if you
wish to do so then go to recording.
As for recording record the main footage depending on what you mean footage is it can be completely
different things.
Again I cannot know what your video or your recording because there's so many different types of videos
that you can do and so many things that you can do that I cannot know what you would do me in footage
will look like will be your talking head Chad will be just your voice maybe your main footage is just
a voice you because you are doing a voiceover maybe you're doing some gameplay just do the main thing
that will be for your video.
The main thing then record the voice separately.
There's not after one after another that's usually together if you leave your voice usually comes with
the main footage but it may be that you're recording it separately for example you are recording your
gameplay for example on it for the gaming videos you're recording your gameplay and then after this
you are just speeding up the footage and then giving your voice over that and you can do it app it's
absolutely necessary to do one after another but when babies were recording the voice separately I mean
that recorded voice in a separate track mean that you you how you should have an ability to manipulate
just your voice without a video or separated from the video.
That's that's very important.
I'm going to show why I'm talking about this even and of course in the editing session then we'll call
the bureau if you need to record it.
Bureau is any single footage that is complementary to the main footage.
For example if you're doing a video review that different shots of the product like would like panning
shots close ups etc etc wide shots.
This is what bureau is basically everything that is not the main footage.
For example in review you talking is the main footage you're talking you and your review the main footage
product is not made footage.
Product is a B roll.
So we are you can record the bureau and of course collect all additional footage and they gets additional
footage it's it it's more goes to the editing phase where it will be a different graphics different
animations that you will need to use.
And yet this issue will do this.
Right after the recording like where were read to be it is written in a script if you have it it's not
necessary it's easier to record it rapidly collect everything right after recording than just going
through the editing and recording the thing separately because all in to do it and then take all this
footage put it down your computer or iPad or phone or whatever you are editing it and just start editing
it right away.
Again this is a workflow very simple simple simple simple workflow that you need to follow you can follow
that that you need.
And again coming up with a workflow that works for everybody is a very very difficult because it is
very different for every single one of you.
That's why I didn't come up with the more detailed.
This why it didn't show how to record because what I am doing I'm doing it for myself and it works for
me and it may not work for you and I don't just don't want to show you something that may not work for
you in an editing.
I will show you some things that actually works universally for every one because editing is a bit different
and there are things that works for everyone.
And I'm going to show you those things.
And yes this will be it for this lecture to day and I'm going to continue it in the next one so sit
there.
