Sort your lighting and composition out. The camera is to low and your light is uneven and non existent. You will loose a lot of viers straight off the bat like me who had to stop and type this to try and help.[DOUBLEPOST=1441086575,1441086423][/DOUBLEPOST]

Always remember to check how it looks when resized to 196x110 (default size in search results), because something that looks okay in the big picture can really become unreadable at smaller sizes.

For me personally it looks nice but notice that Your channel name will get covered by video time length box.

LOike your little ARK review and free weekend awareness video. Well done. I think you have some good potential.
 
Im confused was that last post directed at my channel or the OP's thumbnail? If it was I don't have many places to put my camera to make it a perfect height and my lighting is natural light again I can't help that. I don't have the money

Sorry if I came across blunt. I had a good look at your channel. You have 790 subscribers! Good start, wish I had 790 subs. One of your videos has more views than all mine together LOL. You need to capitalize on it. Some of your videos have some goods parts. I liked the close up of your computer screen with your facebook video - nice technique. Things like that work well. Lighting goes a long way and will improve/maximise your camera capturing ability. Buy a cheap desk lamp or something? clip some baking paper onto it if it needs defusing. Although some lamps/lights can cause a flicker with certain cameras. Cheap light box kits can be bought on ebay as well but make sure they are suitable for video work. I started with a few lamps from around the house then moved up to some of the softbox lights then I broke a couple accidentally and then bought a few Apurture 672 led lamps. With the led lamps i bought some control ones that allow me to adjust the color temp. Also doubles as a nice desktop light with wireless remote.
 
hahahaa no you're fine i was just confused, I always try and make the best of what I've got, my room is a squeeze because i have a double bed and the lighting doesnt look right if i turn a light on so I always try and do videos during the day with natural light, andi tend to do them when home alone so sometimes try and mix it up a bit then and do my videos in different rooms.
I don't have 790 i have 749 a lot less then that unfortunately I am so happy with that but so many of them are sadly quite inactive and dont watch my videos hence not having many views.
If i ever got successful i would definetly spend more on my channel, I do have premiere pro etc now and I used to use movie maker at the begginning, but thats because i use creative cloud programs for uni, but they are very useful for my channel.
The worst part is definetly having plans that end up not looking as good when I get round to doing them or just not having the skills or people to help me but one day!
Thankyou though for the constructive criticism :)
 
Not a problem, I have a a couple that tune in when ever I post something but other than that they appear to be mostly inactive for me too!
