Video blogging for kids

The phenomenon of weblogs arose in the early 90s of the XX century, when one of the Internet inventors of the Internet, Tim Bernes-Lee, created a website where he began to publish interesting news. The idea of an author's blog with the ability to comment on entries quickly became popular. A large number of people found it interesting to talk about their hobbies, share their knowledge, thoughts and observations with other Internet users. The rapid development of modern computer technologies has made it possible to quickly upload not only texts and photos to the network, but also videos, which led to the creation of video blogs.

A video blog (abbreviated vlog) is a type of blog in which the main content consists of video materials.

One of the reasons for the widespread use of video blogs and their advantage over traditional text recordings is that video effectively replaces photos and text, keeps attention on itself and allows you to transmit more information in a short time.

The main advantage is that creating a video blog on YouTube is free and easy. Moreover, it can become a way to earn good money over time.

Do not shoot videos on different topics. Your channel should be thematic, and you should understand the chosen topic. It can be anything: reviews of gadgets / games / movies, cooking, hobbies / creativity and various crafts, animation, humor, etc. The most important thing is that the topic is close and interesting to the blogger, and he can create high-quality and unique content. It is necessary to evaluate your videos from the viewer's side, whether they will be interested in watching it. if it’s based on a unique idea - it’s a good sign.

2. Determine the target audience.

Once you understand the interests of the audience, it will be much easier for you to create popular content. Remember that the main way to attract an audience is to create high-quality content that will be shared with friends. Find out what your target audience is interested in and give it to them. 

3. Create a channel on YouTube, make your own design and learn rules of conduct.

4. Think over the script of the clips and start shooting videos.

The video should not be very long or tedious. The best principle is to give maximum useful information in a short time. You not only should simply start making videos, but also do it regularly.

5. High-quality shooting.

The video clip must be of the highest possible quality. First of all, the viewer evaluates the visual component and then decides whether to watch further. But this does not mean that you will immediately need a professional camera and microphone. At the initial stage, you can record video on a smartphone or a regular video camera. During the shooting, take care of good lighting and the absence of any noise. After the video is made, it needs to be corrected by mounting. It is important to understand that video bloggers are not only those people who know how to shoot videos and post them. They should be engaged in editing, be able to add various effects, music, create independent graphic videos, etc.
