    Yes, recording is really tough, and you can easily get annoyed with yourself for messing up and having to repeat things. Biggest tip I give for people is to stay patient, and expect that recording say a 10 minute video may take you 1 hour or it could be 15 minutes. Just be patient, get it done, and you'll be glad you followed through. Great insights and tips here, Gillian!

    Gillian I wish I could give you a big hug! I have just started a business this year (Happy Healthy Kids Australia) and although I have had people already complete my workshops, I was at such a loss when it comes to marketing and filming online courses etc. and I was starting to feel a little down and overwhelmed about the whole thing. I have literally just binge-watched a handful of your videos and I'm excited and motivated to put them into action. Your videos are so clear and well explained. Thank you for helping me get out of a rut :) Thank you for sharing your incredible knowledge with the world!

    I script my videos from start to finish and honestly i must say it looks and feels like I'm reading or memorized it to just dump and move ahead and usually i feel a little tense filming because i don't want to miss a word. Thank You for these tips, bulleting to elaborate during the video will probably make me feel more relaxed.

Also you just vulnerably admitted that the entire process isn't this single cut process. The fact that you're honest and real makes me trust what you're about to speak about in the rest of this video. Looking forward to taking notes. Thanks so much!!!

    How exactly do you transfer the footage to your editor? Do you use a cloud service or do you send a physical drive?
    And what’s the range of turnaround time from footage with your editor to published video?

  • @OlgaPogozheva
    @OlgaPogozheva 5 лет назад +1

    These tips always work for NATIVE speakers. If I speak in my own language, I don't need anything, not even a bullet point script. I have it all in my head. When it comes to a foreign language (and English is my fourth language only), I can't keep it in my mind - all of it, the script, the bullets, and the grammatics. And the words that would suit the sutiation better. So I prefer it to have outlined (the entire script), then look in every time I need to record. I don't look for every word or sentence, instead, I'm only looking through the passage - and then tell it close to the text. SInce I've written it myself, I almost know it by heart. This is the way that works for NON-NATIVE speakers.

    Gillian, such useful information on scripting. Thanks for sharing. 💕
    Truth, for literally years I did not script my videos whatsoever, and while this led to me eventually feeling fairly confident talking to a camera and speaking naturally, it also led to some pretty rambling and probably boring videos at times.
    Then I tried scripting the whole thing like you talk about. I like this since it gives the chance to say everything as I wish to say it, one issue is that writing I consider to be one of my strengths, probably much more than public speaking. Therefore I might write this great script but it does lead to all the awkwardness filming it, looking at my notes on camera (yikes) and so on.
    I don’t know why I never tried bullet points before, but I’m definitely giving this a go for my next video! 💕xo

  • @RobinHahnRN
    @RobinHahnRN 2 года назад +1

    Thank you, Gillian. That was brilliant: you covered some really crucial aspects that I'd been puzzling over for some time. My objective is not to create RUclips videos (not for mass consumption) but rather to make videos for my nearest and dearest, videos that don't totally suck (which mine do, I'll admit it). The bullet-point suggestion is gold. That, and how to actually do a shoot (keep the camera rolling). Superb video - thank you ever so much for it!!

    @biafransamuraitechie450 4 года назад

    I was watching raw footage for a video I'm making and realized, I was very disorganized (and some undesirable things in my background). I knew I had to re-shoot a good portion of it and needed to focus. That's how I found your video. Great video! All I needed to hear was this is similar to giving presentations. I did a fair amount of presentations in college and sometimes at a previous job. I always prepared bullet points beforehand. I found myself rambling after pressing record for my YT channel. I'm going to work on "organizing" my thoughts more and making bullet points (like I used to do!)
    Thank you for the steering!!!

  • @CleverDoughKids
    @CleverDoughKids 5 лет назад +5

    👍👍👍I totally agree Gillian that both, fully scripting or just winging it, are not the most effective ways to connect with our audiences.
    Plus, like you mentioned, it can get really hard to get our minds to be creative and flowing if we're too busy just desperately trying to quickly memorize and speak those words into the camera.
    It's so much more natural and authentic when we can just relax and speak to our audience individually. More enjoyable to film and watch.
    You're brain storming idea is a really great one. It really helps to get everything out and then organize into specific bullet points.
    I found that really helpful especially when I was doing my coma series. So much happened during my coma and I wanted to make sure I made it all relevant and interesting/inspiring to my audience.
    Using the mind dump method helped me get it all out and then I was able to organize the different themes into specific videos and scripts that followed a much better pace.
    * What it was like to be in a coma
    *what the coma nightmares were like
    *what it's like to wake up from a coma
    *and what it's like to keep on living after a coma and accepting new physical hurdles/disabilities
    Gillian, you are a constant inspiration. You always deliver immediately useable insights that we can all model after.
    Thank-you🤗🥰

    Hey Gillian--Thank You So Much For This Video! I have perfected my area of expertise for the last 25 or so years, and I want to educate the WORLD about it on RUclips and with a Blog. I have been working on getting started on this endeavor for the past Year, or so. I have been trying to write a script with words for me to say, in my first video--BUT I NEVER GOT IT DONE! I had No Path, No Direction. I think that I have written, maybe, 30 pages of rambling script. My script could cover, may FIVE Videos. It is like I am trying to tell EVERYTHING THAT I HAVE EVER LEARNED--in ONE Blog and/or Video. Up until now--I have SUCKED at this endeavor--so far. This Video Will Help Me ImMENSELY--Along with the video you made about "How To Make Your First RUclips Video." These two videos gave me All KINDS of Good Strategies for me to use to FINALLY get going. Thank You SO MUCH, Again! Now I Can Get To Some PRODUCTIVE Work. I Very Much Appreciate All of YOUR Productive Work.......(Oh. And Just to get this off my Chest.....Not ONLY Are You Very Informative--You Are Also--A FOX! Hubby is a Lucky Guy. Not trying to be Creepy here, I am just trying to send a compliment....... God Bless You And Yours. Take Care.)

    Thank you for sharing this. I have a long way to go, but I'm determined and getting better. One thing I have trouble with, and I noticed some of it in this video too, is the "jump" effect when you edit out the filler words. I'm trying so hard to eliminate that, and there might be some improvement, but wow, is it hard.
