Your class project will be to produce a simple 30s-5 minute introduction video to your dream YouTube channel that defines your channel’s unique value proposition or its mission and what you can uniquely bring to the table. The idea is to visualize and feel your goal so you can ride that wave of inspiration to follow through on your channel.

You’ll shoot your own simple talking head video and do simple cuts or even just a single take using whatever you already have. The only tools you’ll need for this class are your smartphone or camera if you already have one. I also recommend a note-taking method to answer the guide questions, whether an app or a piece of paper. A good lavalier mic is a worthwhile addition as well.

If you want to do faceless videos, then you may do that as well, just shoot the appropriate b-roll to make your video interesting.
