First Video Ideas?!

Hi, My name is Chris and I really need a first video idea,

I really want my first video to mean something to me. If it helps, I really enjoy the the Youtubers: Aidan Alexander, MakeupbyMandy24, Andrew Lowe, Connor Franta, etc. I also really relate to makeup videos because that is something I like to do (I believe i might want to take my channel in that direction). But beauty isn't something that I want to start out with as my FIRST video just in the small chance that I change my mind. So basically I want something that can take me on that route of beauty, but isn't? I like "day in the life" and "Facts" and "QandA" videos so people can get to know me, but they are all overdone. So does anyone know something similar but with a twist? I don't know, I'm feeling so indecisive about my first video! Thanks!

Do you want to make it a vlog style? Then one idea is to make it like a "YouTuber reacts to YouTube video" with you watching your favorite channels.
You film it in a way like someone observe you from distance. We see someone sitting by the computer watching videos. We never see what you see, we just see you - for a start. Introduce it with short clips in different angles to let us get to know your environment.

Then we see you talking to yourself when watching YouTube. Saying you enjoy your favorite channels and what you like with them. Share anything that's important to you to share as a first impression.

I have two ideas for the twist:

1: you make a video within the video. Have a part of your video uploaded to YouTube already as an unlisted video with you as the only access. Film yourself in an angle that the screen is seen and show your reaction when suddenly finding yourself on YouTube!

2: You start talking about how cool to it would be to make YouTube videos. Suddenly you discover that the camera is rolling. React in a chock like "are you filming this?!!!??" then end the video instantly!

Most importantly: make this whole thing a rather short video. Maximum five minutes. Work effectively with editing in different angles and short clips each. Like a distant view from start and then closeup on your face when the twist comes. Between that alternate your angles.
All this to make it a short, effective dynamic, engaging and funny introduction giving the first impression that this is awesome! Good luck :-D

Oh my god I really like that idea! I may tweak it but that seems really cool!
 
Of course you shall tweak in to make it in a way that feels good to you. It's just a rough spontaneous idea. Now suddenly I'm getting thrilled to see this video for real. Please tag me up if you take on my suggestion so I can see how it turned out lol :-D
 
I would make a countdown video since they usually get a lot of views and you will get a lot of new viewers to your channel.
