Scripting Vlogs.....

[Dubem Menakaya]

Hey Guys

I make vlogs about dealing with different feelings and mental issues in life. I've made two so far, haven;t really scripted them properly but i think they would be better with a script, not word for word but some kind of direction.

For anyone who does vlogs, what kind of scripting do you do? Does using a script improve it or ruin the improv nature of what you record?

Maybe you want to just write down key points of what you want to say.. have them on a little note card so you keep going in the direction you want to.

Ahh cool thanks yeah that makes sense, keep the general direction. That's what I'm trying ti get through the waffling when i forget the next key point lol

Agreeing with what the lovely @JohnKenShow says, but i highly recommend doing retakes over and over again.
Doing retakes will sometimes make you improve the "acting" (if you can say so) everytime you redo it.
After a while you might ace it and just make it in one recording, but that rarely happens to me.
Also dividing your video in sections makes it way easier to doing retakes.
Good luck sir.

Exactly what this smart person said. Don't write an actual script, just write every topic you want to talk about down.

Thanks, good point on the retakes, I'm going to try that on my next video. What do you mean by dividing the video into sections? Do you mean like talk about the first topic for the first minute and shoot that section over and over and do the same with the other topics?

That is exactly what i mean. Like having the first 1 minute maybe divided in 2 parts.

I made a 11 min educational video, i had like 30 sections in it.
