With the YouTube dislike button on its way out, how do I gauge how useful a video is?
—Antriksh, Mumbai
The comment section of a video is always where you find out how valuable it is. Longer comments in particular show that the audience was pleasantly touched by the content and encouraged to type a comment on how they feel on the inside. The usefulness of a video, in my opinion, is mostly determined by how active the comment area is. It’s also a predictor of how popular you’ll become as a YouTuber in the future.
Lights, camera.......
I want to improve the camerawork for my social media videos and Reels. Any tips?
—Preenita, Via Instagram
Lighting is more important than camerawork. I would recommend investing in a good quality camera with an integrated stabiliser if you want to better your camera skills. Above all, however, it’s about the lighting. Also, don’t overlook the sound quality since you want to improve not only the camerawork but the overall quality of the video.
