Beauty Channels!

My next step in planning my film-making project was looking at other beauty channels that has been well-known and exists since the last few years on Youtube platform. I found pretty much couple of my personal favorites that I keep watching on regular bases. My research on this part was to focus about how they deliver ideas in creative ways, what the channels aim and objective, who are the target audience and what inspire them to have a beauty channel.  I also looked into the technical aspects in terms of what editing program do they use for their videos, what equipment does my video need to be high definition quality that could help me during planning and recording shoots of my video.   Here are some inspiration examples from very successful beauty and fashion channels

Script

Script is an essential part of production planning of film making. It tells the story of the film as well as how the shots of each scenes are directed from start to end, by using various camera transition, technical or especial effects that help particularly the production process. There are rules and guidelines of writing a script which I have followed to produce my script. These are;

1-Finding an idea this could be either Factual, Marketing, News or Documentary.
2-Developing the structure including introduction, middle and conclusion.
3-Describe the subject of an idea.
4-Identifying the timeline; How long is the film?. What is the length of each scene and what happens in between each shots?.
5- Writing the script will required the following;

• Courier font in size 12.
• Script printed one-sided.
• One page will equal one minute of screen time.
• Slug lines-where lines in each scenes begin, including INT or EXT (Interior/Indoors-Exterior/Outdoors).
• Scene Direction-where briefly I described the scene, writing in the present tense. 

My video script was based about a short advert to promote a beauty channel in YouTube called "On Trend". This is by creating shows about fashion, beauty, health and well-being, highlighting the essential of beauty world 24/7 with the most engaging and talented people in the industry.

I have used some of the resources below to widen my knowledge in script writing;

Storyboard is one of the most important elements of multimedia production whether in film making , video or animation to creating products like websites. This is because it considers to be a visual script for these kind of projects. For my project of advertising " On Trend" beauty channel on Youtube I use storyboards to have a better idea of what each scene is going to look like, what resources or technical effects am I going to need, including sound, images and so on.  

My storyboard is aimed not to frame by frame breakdown of the story behind the advert, but rather a scene-by-scene breakdown.  So mainly, for each scene, I have a series drawing that describe what is going on including all the information that is vital to my scene for instance the setting or location, the camera transitions, time and actions that I think will help the viewers understand my story.  One of the advantages of storyboard is provide a clear and planned guide in which will help in directing my video and translate my ideas into visual images.
