Key Insights

[music] If there is one question I get asked the most, it’s how I make my videos. I’ve had this idea for a while now, and I thought that this would be a good time to do it. In my videos, I try to have an emphasis on storytelling, film making, lighting, and there’s been a lot of things I’ve picked up along the way. I guess the closest thing you can call it is [music] a cinematic vlog, but that’s still a very loose term. So, I asked you guys what you’re most curious about, and today we’re going to dive into what goes into a life of Rosette video. Before we get into it, a brief backstory on how I got here in the first place. [music] Prior to YouTube, I was a freelancer. I did videography and eventually spent some time on set trying to learn as much as I could about the film world. That’s when I really started to not only fall in love [music] with it, but to learn so much. But I always loved YouTube and making my own videos. So in 2020, I really started to take things more seriously. I was really inspired by shows that I was watching on streaming platforms at the time. [music] And separately from that, I was watching a whole ton of vlogs and a whole ton of filmmakers, but no one was really doing both [music] the way that I wanted to see it. So I got curious. I went out and I made that video. And I knew that day something finally clicked and that became what I now call the cinematic vlog. And I just made that up one day when somebody asked me to describe my videos and [music] that was what I thought of. I’ll talk about building style a little bit later, but that is essentially what [music] ignited what my videos are today. That being said, whether I’m filming alone, vlogging on the go, or with [music] a small crew on bigger projects, there are things that almost never change no matter what kind of video I’m doing. And these are the foundations when you tune into a video of mine. I always write down my ideas every time something pops into my head. Once I know it’s a strong enough idea, then I’ll start pre-production. This is the hard part because if I do my pre-production well, then filming goes smoothly and the editing is way easier. And without that first step, everything else falls apart. And I keep learning that lesson every time. Sometimes pre-production looks like just a basic outline, and other times it’s a more detailed script, [music] but mostly it’s somewhere in between with bullet points to keep me on track. Either way, I like to have a [music] plan. There are many different ways you could structure a story. The stories I end up pursuing are the ones where they feel the most relevant to me in the moment, it’s a compelling enough case, and that there’s a full story arc in it. But however you choose to tell your story, I think the main point of writing anything is to make people care. So underrated, if there is really one thing I can say to focus on, it’s that plead your case. Assume that nobody knows anything about you. They don’t have the full story like you do. And so sometimes making someone care is as simple as providing context. For example, I did a marathon video called the art of showing up an outlier in terms of style. It was not cinematic at all. Traditional vlog. I really tried to make sure that people cared about the characters in that video because my audience doesn’t have the same relationship with them as I do. So it’s important to them to know the context these people have in my life. And once I understood that, I think that’s when [music] I started to see a huge difference. So for that video, I did the most basic outline. I think it was like day 1, day 2, day three. Granted, something like a marathon or transformation has a built-in story already, but for more complex ideas, I sit down and [music] I do a shot list. I will write down the shots I need for sure, but if it’s film making heavy, then I’m definitely drawing them out. This is the notepad that I’ve been using and I’m pretty much done. I need [music]
