What's your go-to strategy for making a compelling video in a short amount of time?

Question

Irina Haupt · Accepted Answer

My top three:
- Be authentic. 
- Say/show something in the first 3 seconds of your video that your audience can fully relate to, making them stop what they are doing and watch.
- Leverage trending audio.

Answer

Writing down some thoughts on what you want to say and to whom might be quite useful.

David Cagigas · Answer

I think having a structure helps a lot. A script and ideas about what you want to communicate to what audience helps a lot.

Answer

My major tactic is to provide an engaging narrative that is easy to follow and keeps the reader's interest from the start.

@irina_haupt Love this! Thanks for sharing. Quick question though - where do you get trending audio from?

Mirena Vasileva · Answer

@irina_haupt totally agree with these!

I employ appealing visual elements and dynamic editing to keep the video's tempo engaging.

Irina Haupt · Answer

@cain_edw Totally agree, a compelling story can be a powerful tool to engage and connect with your audience!

Mirena Vasileva · Answer

• Hook viewers in the first 3/5 seconds
• Be very specific with what your video is all about
• Don't be afraid to provide value
• Be yourself 
• Put your blinders on - in other words, don't compare yourself to others :)
