Working with a script and B roll to improve my video

It's fair to say that sometimes my videos can be a bit long-winded. Watch one of my long-form videos and you quickly use the will to live.

But I've been watching a lot of tutorials about video production on YouTube to try up my game. Many of the great video creators recommend scripting out a video beforehand. This will keep your video on track and help you to tighten it up.

Another technique that is strongly recommended is using B Roll. What is that I hear you ask ( not you Nick and all of you folks that know what you are doing )

For us newbies, B roll is supplemental footage added to a film to enhance its intellectual impact. An actor's brief speech or action, such as Clicking a trigger, can be captured in the video, and the resulting image can be used to highlight the scene and add impact.

So armed with my trusty iPhone I thought to myself, let's give it a go.

But first I needed a topic. What could be more riveting than me cutting my lawn? 😹

And there was an added benefit. Wendy had been getting onto me for weeks about doing more to help so this way I could kill two birds with one stone. 🤙

The result is this video. If you have nothing better to do, which I doubt very much, why not give it a view. If nothing else you get to see my posh garden 🍄

FootNote

I apologise for the lack of captions, I let my caption generator subscription expire as I thought that I could use YouTube to auto-generate the captions for me. It can be done but could I work it out. Not a cat in hell's chance. 🙄
