Instructions
Step 1
Video tutorials are a relatively new opportunity to share useful information with the whole world, which has become popular thanks to the spread of broadband Internet access, which allows you to watch videos online. As a result, many people began to shoot instructional videos about literally everything. On YouTube you can find instructions on how to properly fold bags and socks, open cans, cut vegetables, repair cars, create websites, play computer games, basically anything. Nevertheless, you can always find your own niche, in which the author of useful and interesting instructions will become popular.
Step 2
If you intend to film instructions for something happening in the real world, you need a video camera. You can use the built-in camera of your laptop, an external webcam, or shoot the desired scene using your camera or phone. The choice depends both on your capabilities and on what exactly and in what conditions you plan to shoot. Think over the actions that will fall into the frame. It is assumed that you will demonstrate what you are good at yourself, so if you are not one hundred percent sure of the result, it is better to practice rather than shoot right away.
Step 3
For instructions on using computer programs or games, a video camera is not needed: it will be enough to install a program to capture an image on the monitor. There are many free programs of this type on the Internet. They have different functionality, but they all make it possible to record what is happening on the screen in a video file.
Step 4
In any case, whether you filmed your actions with a camera, or captured video from a monitor, the resulting video file is just the source material. You need to edit the video using a computer editing program: remove unnecessary frames, insert annotations and explanations, add a video title and add sound.
Step 5
It is better to record the soundtrack separately after you edit the video. Thus, you can avoid pauses, speech errors, parasitic words. Watch the resulting video and write the intended text on paper. Then you can start recording the audio track. Do not hesitate to make an extra take in case of a reservation, since a lot depends on high-quality speech accompaniment.
