It seems that it is no longer possible to make something original: for every video on YouTube there are thousands of parodies and hundreds of versions that have a meaningless ditty of that Russian meme in the background. Do not fear. This article will help you come up with ideas for making funny videos that will make your friends and all Youtube users die of laughter, guaranteeing you thousands of views. Go to step one to get started.
Steps
Method 1 of 3: Making Parodies
Step 1. Create a new version of a popular video
Harlem Shake videos popped up like mushrooms on the internet when it was in vogue, but now it's too late to make one, unless you settle for boos. Before that there were the videos on Pulcino Pio. The trick is not to let the opportunity pass
- Strike the iron while it is hot. When someone shows you a funny video, record a new version almost identical to the original, changing only one of the central parts. Maybe a new meme is born.
- What is it that makes what is original unique? In Harlem Shake was the part where the song stopped. When he left, everyone in the scene started dancing. Sports teams and military units were perfect subjects for this type of video.
Step 2. Rebuild recent or classic movie scenes
They are a great source of inspiration for parodies. The video of Batman interrogating the Joker with his disjointed murmuring has been popular on the Internet for a while. In fact, everyone complained imitating that comic and incomprehensible way of speaking. You can take advantage of a movie hit and make fun of it at the same time.
Make it unique. You can remake the restaurant scene in the Godfather, perhaps using the Italian-American jokes, only instead of the pinstripe double-breasted you decide to wear one-piece swimsuits from the early 1900s and wear a handlebar mustache. Okay, that's probably a terrible idea, but it's still something creative about a classic piece. You can get some visualization
Step 3. Edit the videos of others
With programs like Windows Movie Maker or iMovie you can edit existing videos to make them unique. If you have a movie taken from a DVD or other YouTube video, you can edit its audio, add subtitles or create new scenes.
- Add subtitles or double old movies. With a comic background, even an old Chuck Norris movie can be fun.
- Make a collage of the fight scenes from your favorite action movies or those with the best James Bond quotes. You will be able to make short but fun movies.
- Combine the least animated and funniest scenes from a horror movie to make it look like a movie for the whole family, and vice versa.
Step 4. Film your pet and play dramatic music in the background
One thing all human beings have in common: they love to see videos of animals, especially of puppies. If you add the Pirates of the Caribbean soundtrack to that, you're well on your way to making a classic YouTube video.
- Keep toys and treats out of frame and use them to entice your pet to act funny. Or film animals interacting or in bizarre circumstances, such as on a trampoline, in the bathtub or in a playpen.
- Catch your pet while sleeping and waking up.
- It works even better if your pet makes a funny noise or has an odd shape.
Step 5. Resume a joke
If you're planning to litter your friend's shorts with Nutella or fill his shower head with toffee, then it's best to record everything. It could be a lot of fun! Just make sure you get the victim's permission before uploading embarrassing videos of him to the Internet.
Method 2 of 3: Videoblog
Step 1. Record a video of your purchases
There are videos where users show what they bought after a hectic shopping day, they are easy to make and fun. For each product you show, tell a particular anecdote to make the video fun and informative.
- You don't have to buy anything. Display a collection of items you already have at home. Shoot things you have a passion for or have recently collected. Some tips:
- Clothes or jewelry
- Books, CDs, Vinyls
- Tricks
- Food
- Alcoholic
- Shoes or hats
- Toys
- Games or video games
Step 2. Teach
Is there something you are particularly knowledgeable about or have a thorough knowledge of? Maybe you can make a great hot chocolate or you are unbeatable with the boomerang. You could show your skills in double debraiata or acrobatic yo-yo. Can you write rhyme poems? Can you be a worm? Teach people a few tricks that only you know.
- Practice before recovering and watch more videos on the subject to see if you can make a personal contribution to the skills you want to teach.
- Record the solution of a game. If you like playing video games, sign up while you complete one that you are particularly good at and show shortcuts, tricks and tricks to make it easier. You can record your voice commenting the game with programs like CamStudio.
Step 3. Make reviews on products, food, music and movies
These videos become quite famous on YouTube, especially if you give a particularly whimsical and exaggerated opinion. Choose the subject of your review, something you know and are passionate about, and shoot yourself with the camera. It could be the beginning of a series of videos.
- Have you just finished watching the new Batman movie and would like to make a judgment? And what do you think of the new song or the new One Direction album? Any comments on the latest Harry Potter book? Make a series of pros and cons, without revealing too much information to those who have not yet seen or heard what you are talking about, and make a nice video review. Watch other review videos to get an idea of the style you will adopt.
- Do you know a lot about sushi, jellies or other special dishes? Catch yourself while you talk about them or taste them, and offer your opinion.
- Use a personal classification system, such as stars, popcorn, or flowers. Keep it simple and fun.
- You can do a video review of a new product. If you just bought an iPhone, Xbox or gas mask on Ebay, pick yourself up as you open the box and show all the contents in detail. These are useful videos. People will gladly look at them because they can decide if those products are worth buying. Plus, they can have fun watching the package open and watching your reaction, especially if it's something they can't buy.
Step 4. Venture out in front of the camera
The diaries are now history. Recording your life on webcam and uploading it to YouTube is much easier, faster and more personal than writing about your feelings and events. If you are going through a period full of mixed feelings, are angry or are simply exhausted after a long day at work or school, turn on the camera and start recovering.
- Talk about politics. What excited you about the recent election? Who is the best candidate? Who can you trust? What are the issues that have inflamed you? Recover yourself while talking about the political scenario.
- Talk about sports. Predict the next league or try to figure out how many chances a player has of becoming the next bomber.
- Don't upload the videos directly to YouTube, keep them on your computer until you decide to make them public.
Step 5. Arrange the bag
Videos of this genre are easy to make and often become popular, as long as you shoot yourself emptying a bag, but you can also use a backpack or wallet, and show the contents. It can be a starting point for telling funny stories and funny anecdotes.
Method 3 of 3: Join a Community
Step 1. Find a youtuber community that's right for you
Some are more formal, some less, but for each topic there are YouTube members who upload quite popular videos, and many others who post replies or similar videos. If you need constant inspiration for your videos, explore these communities and gradually try to fit in. The most famous communities have common themes, such as:
- Video games
- Sport
- Reviews of food, drinks, movies and music
- Magic tricks
- Binge competitions
Step 2. Subscribe to the most interesting channels
Stay up to date on the creators of your favorite videos, this way you'll have more chances to join their community. Look at the videos that are part of the genre you want to make, comment on them and follow the trends.
Step 3. Pay attention to video response requests and challenges
Many communities, especially the most popular ones, often invite users to respond with a video linked to the original one. If someone talks about the next championship and invites you to leave a video-response with predictions, take the opportunity to make one and upload it.
There was a time when challenges like cinnamon and neknomination were very popular. Keep an eye on the network to see if such opportunities arise
Step 4. Ask your users to leave video responses
It will take a while to get so many views, but that's not a problem. If you already have someone following you, ask questions and ask them to post a video response. Introduce a topic and use YouTube as a means of communication to communicate.
Advice
- Make sure you have the right tools, like a decent video camera that works well and shoots clearly. Or start buying accessories, such as microphone, tripod, etc. Invest in anything that can improve your videos.
- Windows Movie Maker is a great program for high quality video and audio.
