10,000 hours

I've had a Youtube beauty channel on and off for three or so years. My cousin and I have recently decided because we sometimes get bored of just talking when we hang out that we should create a Youtube channel. It all started when my cousin was looking at the list of most downloaded free apps for the week and came across the iMovie trailer app. We had four hours to hang out one day and she suggested we make a film trailer. This app has all of the shots and allowed time for these shots in the presetting's of the possible trailers. Then there are a few word screens you use for necessary captions. It took us about an hour to draw up the storyline of the trailer. We had my cousins house as the set and anything that entailed. We used the iPhone 5c to record. At first we thought it would be a good idea to having the trailer be about searching for food around the house and finally finding it in the fridge. We threw this idea out after realizing there was not enough of a struggle to get to the fridge. Instead because she had regular and golden oreo's we decided to make it about that because the original goal could be to get to the golden oreo's but after struggles realize that we might have to eat the regular oreo's instead. Overall it was easier to make because the only thing we had to come-up with ourselves was the story, because everything else was provided. It made the process much easier. I am already brainstorming ideas for short films because we hang out usually once a week so we set the parameters to be 2-3 people in the film and the longest it must be is 3 minutes in length. We are also making these videos mostly to entertain ourselves but we are going to document it on Youtube to show our evolution.
