Where's The Sound?! | Day 29
|
Good morning Reader We have Just 1 Day Left of The Power Crown Games! Today I want to talk about disguising your mistakes. We've all had hiccups or moments where we've dropped the ball. We're human. But the part that seems the most embarrassing is that we allow that to overshadow what we did right. I recently did an event where the sound on a video didn't play, and everyone noticed. I got it working and we moved on. The rest of the time I was on point and the entire production ran smoothly. I spoke with some people afterwards and they told me that they did notice the hiccup, but it was such a minute detail in the entire production that it didn't even matter. There's two things that have helped me overcome hiccups and as a result, finish with an even better result.
I know it's easier said then done. But if you struggle with overcoming your hiccups, try implementing these strategies and see if they work. I mean after all: What else could go wrong? Godspeed Estevan

Have you ever wondered what these black bars in movies are? These are called Letterboxes. While historically these occurred when a film got reshaped for a smaller screen, many filmmakers use these today to make their videos look more, cinematic. But why? These create a cinematic look because they mimic that wide aspect ratio that most films posses, giving your video a polished, movie-like feel. They also help with hiding any "fluff" in your frame" Like garbage in the background, notes on the...
Attention is Earned. Not Given. If you have one minute, I have some tips that will help you engage more with your audience. Strong Hook: Open with an intriguing question, shocking fact, or a powerful visual. The first 5 seconds decide everything. The goal is to make a "promise" that's strong enough to keep them watching. It's in this moment that your audience decides to watch for the next 20 seconds. Those 20 seconds convince them to watch the next minute. So on and so forth. But EVERYTHING...
