Okay,
so you want to start making videos for YouTube?
Now we've all seen those socially awkward geeks with a funny voice talking into a 240p cell phone camera drowned in background noise. This is the top thing people don't want to see.
Steps for making good videos:
1) Camera quality is everything
Make sure your camera is of good enough quality. Often having a 720p and possibly even 1080p video options can be a key towards your videos being professional
2) 16:9! No letterbox
Almost everyone popular YouTuber on the net has a widescreen camera, so if you're filming, check to see you're filming in widescreen, if you're unsure, either look for a 16:9 option, as appose to 4:3, or playback the video. 4:3 has letterbox at the sides. 16:9 will have none, or a small letterbox at the top and bottom.
3) Cuts are good
Don't worry about getting it perfect first time round, just leave the camera rolling, and say each thing a couple of times and pick which you like best, jumps in movement between each clip doesn't matter, many vloggers do it and it looks fine
4) Background music?
This is optional, but background music helps create a whole new feel to the video
