Use a webcam for convenience. As with smartphones, most laptops made within the last five years come with an integrated webcam (usually just above the monitor). Webcams tend to have much poorer quality than a standard video camera, but they'll do if you can't afford to purchase a smartphone or dedicated camera.
Use a smartphone for mobility. Most smartphones on the market come with three video-making essentials: A video camera feature to record videos, a microphone to record audio, and a large hard drive on which to store everything. While smartphones are portable, the audio and visual quality can be inferior to that of a dedicated video camera.
Videos take up a lot of storage space. You may need to transfer your videos off of your phone after recording.
Use a video camera for high-quality filming. You can find decent-quality video cameras for under $50 on Amazon, or you can spend around $120 on a high-quality video camera. Video cameras often have better display quality than a smartphone or webcam.
Most modern video cameras have a removable SD card that can be used to transfer videos from the camera to the computer. Double-check to ensure that your selected camcorder has an SD card before purchasing it.

Record content that is on your computer monitor. This can be accomplished by downloading third-party software that will allow you to record your screen. If you're recording tutorials or video game footage, you'll want to use such a program.
Many programs enable you to have several videos being recorded at once. If you wish, then you can easily set up a face-cam using the previously discussed webcam. By doing so, you can record the main content while having your face-cam as an overlay on the surface of the main content. This is mainly done by streamers, but many people also use this technique for YouTube Videos.
When recording, be sure that both the audio and video are properly being recorded by first making a test clip and viewing it.
Consider purchasing a dedicated microphone. While not imperative, good sound quality can make or break a video; to this end, relying on your recording item's built-in microphone may not be ideal. If you can find a reasonably priced microphone that is compatible with your recording item, your videos' overall quality will improve immensely.
Some video cameras come packaged with a dedicated microphone and all of the hardware you need to connect the two.
Try writing a script. While optional, doing this before settling on a video genre will help determine the kind of video you wish to record. Occasionally glancing at a script can help you keep on track, give your video more structure (and therefore more professional) and will mean you don't forget anything.
onsider using a current trend for a video. YouTube hosts videos from millions of users, but some types of video are more popular than others:
Video blogs, or “vlogs,” are regularly-updated video series featuring the creator talking about whatever is on his or her mind, usually for 10 minutes or less.
Video game-related videos attract a fair amount of traffic, especially if you cover recent releases.
Tutorials can encompass literally any topic in which you are skilled.
Montages are videos filled with images or video clips, set to music.
Pet videos are always popular. These are typically recorded with a hand-held item, such as a smartphone or camcorder. They often feature the creator's pet doing something funny or endearing.
Reviews are video blogs that review a product or service. Being sardonic and funny when reviewing something will get more people to watch.
Comedy videos encompass a wide range of styles and approaches. They're best done with friends, and can feature anything from practical jokes, to silly dancing, to scripted sketches and beyond.
