The transcript: How to make your own video style?


Finding your unique video style starts with understanding yourself.

So, ask yourself: "What topics excite me?"

"What kind of emotions do I love experiencing in videos?"

Jot these down.

Or, try recording your ideas while walking. It's my experience that moving around can spark creativity.

Next, watch videos from creators and filmmakers you admire.

It's not about copying them, but learning from what they do, and finding what resonates with you.

Then, experiment and practice. Don't wait for fancy video equipment.

Use your phone, a tripod, or any camera to get started.

The more you create videos, the more you'll develop your style. It's all about trying different things and seeing what feels right for you.
