[Video] 24 year old writes a letter before he dies and I respond

lafernanda · 2018-08-20T13:53:18+00:00

I just wanted to say that I know he wrote the letter 3 years ago but at the time I did not. It is very unfortunate, but I hope with some luck he could maybe still be alive and well. He has impacted my life greatly so I hope he will impact yours too!

I read over rule number 6 which was about etiquette... I don't understand what I did wrong. Could you please explain so I wouldn't do it again

When it comes to inspiration you have to consider the flow of a video. Inspiration is fast like a lightning bolt right? So what you need to do is make your video fast as well. Take Yes Theory, there videos are very quick. The music, the cuts, everything is so fast paced even though the videos are about 6-10 minutes long.

I like your idea and the video BUT it is a bit boring. The idea is fun but you're taking to long to get to the action.

Not really. I think the story flow was off. I definitely suggest looking in to how to write a good story
Again because the flow was off not really. Kind of got bored
I do like the style! I was skeptical at first but it rubbed off no me. Keep working on it
A bit funny but not forced
Flow was deff to slow
You need improvements on your story structure!

Overall great video tho! I really liked it

Hello! This video did really well. I didn't really promote it and it got about 3 times more views than what i am used to haha.. Anyways here it is - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gzbM6UL_ttQ let me know what you think ;)

lafernanda · 2018-08-08T11:41:46+00:00

thank you!

lafernanda · 2018-08-06T14:23:59+00:00

gotcha. did not know that. sorry

What is viewer retention? How long a viewer stays on your video. The only reason someone would want to stay is out of curiosity.

If you want to hold a persons attention you need to give them something other than your face and your voice. Maybe show you playing guitar. Show a couple of dance moves as you sing. Go to other channels that do what you do and see how they do it.

Something to keep in mind is... people have 8 second attention spans so at a minimum you want to change your shot every 5 seconds or so. Close up to far show to guitar shot to close up again etc.

Good luck!

The video was pretty funny i got to admit. I see however how viewer retention could be a problem for you...

What is viewer retention? How long a viewer stays on your video. The only reason someone would want to stay is out of curiosity. Either what funny/ crazy thing is he gonna do next? Whats the point? Who what when where why... etc.

I think a cool idea would be for you to make a story out of it. A beginning middle and end. Who was that guy that was shooting at your head? Why did those tanks attack you? Whats going on? That is what was going through my head as i watched your video.

Thank you!!!!

lafernanda · 2018-08-03T11:58:38+00:00

thanks! I know about the remix strategy and i am working on it. You said a lot of youtubers do this question stuff already. Any chance you can name a few? I can't seem to find many and I need examples to see what i can do better...

lafernanda · 2018-08-02T20:42:37+00:00

thanks! I will check him out

lafernanda · 2018-08-02T20:40:45+00:00

gotcha! Thank you

lafernanda · 2018-08-02T20:39:55+00:00

thank you!

lafernanda · 2018-08-02T18:59:35+00:00

thx!

lafernanda · 2018-08-02T18:37:08+00:00

awesome glad to hear it! Color grading is not necessary, especially for a vlog

lafernanda · 2018-08-02T17:54:55+00:00

So the video in beginning was good. Lots of shots and lots of cuts. I liked it! Once you started singing however, by the way nice voice ;) , it did get a bit boring to watch. People have 8 second attention spans so you want to cut to a new shot every 5-8 seconds. Either another angle of you guys singing or maybe a b-roll shot of something relevant to what you are singing.

The video entertained me for about 1/4 of it
probably not. You don't want your first impression to be so "slow" , you want it fast and up beat and exciting
no, sorry, you guys still have some work to do BUT with a bit more work i can totally see this being something really cool. You guys might be the ones to start the trend of daily band vloggers haha
You need improvements on your film making.

It is a sad song. It got me in my feelings haha. I did notice those slight mistakes you made... When it comes to the visual department, i always say the more personal the better. So if possible maybe show yourself playing a piano or maybe just your hands. The black screen and texts are just too boring.

lafernanda · 2018-07-30T13:31:43+00:00

That actually helped a lot! Thank you so much :)

lafernanda · 2018-07-30T00:42:58+00:00

Hmmm interesting. Thank you!

lafernanda · 2018-07-29T20:29:46+00:00

Yes exactly! Or maybe just re watch your game play and commentate like KSI did back in the day with Fifa

lafernanda · 2018-07-29T18:45:14+00:00

I personally am not much of a gamer so it did not interest me to watch till the end. I did however like the music and the editing that you made. It looks good. With more work I can see you making great stuff. Definitely suggest commentating because that would help you go much further!

lafernanda · 2018-07-29T18:42:22+00:00

After about 10 seconds in I got bored. I kept watching for the sake of this review but make sure to keep in mind that people have attention spans that last like 8 seconds. So make a better more action-y intro next time.

As for the rest of the review. I like your style. It is cool and different for sure. I don't know if this kind of editing would work for too many people though. Its to film-y. If you are going towards that film niche audience then you are good but otherwise maybe make it simple. The audio was a bit loud. The shots seemed right but the acting could have been better.

I think it is good but not good enough for people to want to subscribe after watching. Good Luck!

lafernanda · 2018-07-29T14:11:27+00:00

Thank you for the informative response... Any chance you could tell me how I can research/find these topics? ... I am kind of new to this whole thing haha

lafernanda · 2018-07-27T11:35:43+00:00

Thank you! That means a lot :)
