In English class we are working on a research project that has to do with our 20 time. It feels funny writing a school paper about Youtube, but I also really like it because I'm like addicted to Youtube.
Me and Kailie finally filmed our first video, and got our first subscriber!!!! It only took about 10 minutes to film but it took like two days to edit and put together the video. We had to adjust lighting and stuff like that. We had to do our makeup super dark so you could at least see it. We had a lot of outtakes so we are probably going to make a funny outtake video soon. It only makes sense! Why wastes good, raw, funny material on a comedy channel!!??? Anyway things are going well. We are trying to reach 5 subs after next week, wish us luck! Kialie and I are finally filming today. It kinda sucks because we are going to be working all night on my birthday, but it will be worth it. She is going to bring her camera,laptop and we are going to set up our youtube channel. I've made our channel a logo already and we have named it Ch-ailie because we figure it incorporates both of our names and is easy to remember. First we are going to film though that way while we are editing we can also create the channel. I am really excited. I've watched a couple videos about how to get successful on youtube. Also, I have really been looking into Pewdiepie, because he is the worlds most subscribed Youtuber. Hopefully our comedy channel takes off! Now we are gonna party all night making our video! Me and my friend were thinking of ideas today, I know of a YouTuber called Jacksfilms (check it out) but anyway hes known for his videos called YGS or Your Grammar Sucks. Its really funny and he has his fans take screen caps of comments ,with bad grammar< from the internet. They send it to him, he picks the most funny ones, and reads them out loud the way they were written to show how stupid it would sound if people really spoke that way. We were talking at lunch about some health notes my friend Tyrone wrote which had terrible grammar. I read them out loud and everyone at my table was dying of laughter. So then we decided to try doing that with some of out videos but a little different because of copy write. We will probably act out the comments instead of just read them to make it a little more original. Me and my friend are planning to start recording a video sometime this weekend. I am having her help me come up with some ideas for videos and we are going to have my boyfriend help us edit once we are done. I am going to come to her house on Saturday ,I don't know what time yet but I hope its early enough that we have time to finish editing before edit gets too late. From the YouTubers I watch they normally take up to 8 hours to edit a video, but thats for skits with special effects, so since we are aiming more toward the funny vlog area it shouldn't take anymore than 3 or 4 hours to edit a 5 minute video. I'm not really sure what to do at this point. My friend who is supposed to be helping hasn't been at school. She has the camera and laptop that we need. So until shes better, there is really no way to work on making a video. Considering that an Ipod camera is anything but professional. So hopefully we can work on something later this week. Today I finally started setting up times and days for me and friends to meet up and make some videos. I have 3 friends who want to be a part of my channel. My boyfriend is going to help us edit some videos since he knows how and make some videos with us.I'm excited to finally be ble to make my own channel. I can't wait until we get started! I got the Weebly mobile app so I can edit posts and make some changes to make my pages. Right now I'm writing this post in a hotel off my phone it works really well by the way. it's free. I highly recommend getting it. I was thinking a couple nights ago and i decided instead of writing a song for my 20 time project I should start my own YouTube channel, because I really enjoy the people I watch on YouTube. I want to start putting out my own videos. I've already asked some of my friends to help me with editing videos and stuff. My friend Kailee is going to be a part of my channel and be in videos with me. So now i have a lot of stuff to research. Things I have to Research/ Learn.Video editing writing vlogging change channel background on youtube I'm pretty exited, today is the first day of doing actual research, and choosing our topic. I'm going to write a song with lyrics and music and maybe perform it for the class. I'm going to have my choir teacher and uncle help me with music, lyrics, rehearsal times, and things like that. I've already talked to my uncle and my friends about some help. My uncle said he would help me with some lyrics.So far everything is going well, even though i'm only a week into the project.Still very excited and can't wait to see how it all turns out! :) |
