Studio lighting
Ive gotten an el-cheapo studio light from Lazada and it is working fine. I have better lighting and it makes the video looks better and presentable for the viewer to endure watching it for 4-5 minutes.
Teleprompter
Ive also made a DIY teleprompter and using an app to just deliver the content in a more fluid fashion and less 'err' and 'uhmm' because as a broadcaster and vlogger I wouldnt have wanted my viewers to wait for me to figure out what to say. Plus it is not a live video and theres no reason why a movie review should be live.

This is the most important thing that I had to learn and improve. This is the main core of the video. You got to have a content and a reason to do a video. A subject to talk abt and how it should be done. Where to sigh, how to speak and the facial and speech intonation. So much to learn!
Proper Intro Video and Thumbnail
Its should be something that attract viewers in the first place together with the video thumbnail. Ive gotten mine free from Youtube and After Effects and done the thumbnail in Photoshop.
Camera
Currently im using a HD Logitech Webcam c920. The focus need to be much better coz my face is abit blur. And also I would like to try recording from my iPhone but I need that for my teleprompter. So I have to settle with that for now. Also I had to enlarge the video to create a nice framing for the final edit so it has added to the blurriness.
Microphone
Im using a Blue Yeti USB Microphone with a pop-filter. The setup of it can be just plug and play but Ive learned something to make it sound better by using Voicemeter. And of course I need to learn how to improve my voice tone and pronounciation. Expensive mic dont make you a good singer (duh)
Location
Just need a better background, instead of my messy working desk lol. And also the timing of the shooting needs to be when im a little bit fresher and not after working hour and a long day at work lol.
Basically I should be able to do one video per week spending one day on each aspect of work. Writing, Shooting, Editing and Reviewing (in order)
Thanks for dropping by guys. Let me know what you guys think. See you in the next video.
