As the number of vloggers and content creators continues to grow so does the need for ways to distinguish your brand from others. The more crowded the field becomes, the more difficult it is to make yourself stand out.

We are all competing in the same space for our vlogs and podcasts to stand out, but we can do this with a fresh perspective on how we structure our content. Here are some tips to simplify your vlog and make it more efficient with less moving parts.

1. Use a script: 

       Sometimes when you are just starting out using a script may not be necessary. You may get by shooting a quick video and editing down the time each time you record. However, once you begin working on a regular series or format, it’s important that you find an effective way to keep consistency in your workflow. That’s why scripting out your videos can help save time, money and energy when you plan out what you want to say before you hit record.

2. Identify your audience:     Your output should be targeted towards your audience/subscribers base. If they’re looking for entertainment they may be okay watching some of your process as long as they see some finished products too. But if they’re

There can be a lot going on in a vlog. For example, you might have graphics, transitions and music to consider. But the most important element of your vlog is the video itself. And it’s that last part that can get a bit overwhelming.http://www.singulart.info/blog/5-tips-to-simplify-your-vlogging

Hi, everyone – it’s Eric. Today we’re going to be talking about how you can simplify your vlogging. Now, there’s a lot to think about when you’re vlogging, and there are a lot of things that you need to do in order to make sure that your vlog is successful. So today I’m going to talk through 5 tips that I think can help simplify your vlog for you and make the whole process much easier.

1. Start with one concept

When you start filming your first video, don’t try and shoot a series of things that are all related; try and focus on one thing that you want to get across to the audience. So if, for example, in your channel introduction you’re explaining what kind of channel it is, like “Hey guys! This is my channel. I do XYZ vlogs here,” or “this is my channel; I post videos every day,” or whatever it might be – make sure that you explain that in just one video. Don’t try and do it in 10 different ones because it’s much better if the audience understands what you’re doing straight away rather than having to kind of find out what this channel is about over the course of several videos.

The history of vlogging is not very old, but the future is bright. It’s clear that video content is growing and is here to stay. With the growth of video, everyone wants to get on the train and start vlogging, but they have no idea where to begin. There are so many things you need to learn before you can even think about starting your channel: filming, editing, promotion, and more! I wanted to put together a list of all of the things you need to know when starting a vlog.

Here are my top five tips to help you simplify your vlogging process:

1) Do what works best for YOU

2) Create a style and stick with it

3) Have fun while doing it!

4) Don’t overthink it

5) Don’t be afraid to fail!

1. Vlogging is a series of choices. The result is that you’re constantly deciding where to point the camera and what to say next. As your experience grows, you’ll get better at these decisions, but there are ways to clarify the process before you even start filming.

TIP 1: THINK OF YOUR VLOG AS A SINGLE SHOT

What do I mean by “single shot”? Well, think back to the old days of film (as in the 70s). A director would walk on set with a script, envisioning everything he wanted to capture on film. Actors would follow the script, moving from one position to another, delivering their lines and making sure they’re in a particular place when they deliver them.

The movie ends up being all those shots edited together into a cohesive narrative. Nowadays of course we have the benefit of multiple takes, so if something goes wrong we can usually fix it in post-production. But that wasn’t always true. And even today it’s common to shoot scenes as continuous takes rather than trying to break them up into different shots and angles (like we do in vlogging).

So if we think about our vlogs in terms of single shots, here’s what we

*Keep your video simple. Don’t be stuck in the mindset of needing to explain every single detail of the how, why and when of the process you are documenting! You can use text overlays that accompany the video to give your audience more detailed information if they want it. This will keep your video from being too long and boring or confusing to watch.
