Learn how to make better videos with story and grow an audience to watch them: geni.us/CreatorFilmSchool
The craziest thing about this video is that I started watching it a while ago and was pulled away from it and “lost” it!!! It just popped up and I’m finally able to watch it in its entirety!!! But a WILD realization is that the last time I started I was driving a Ford Taurus and NOW I’m driving a Jeep Gladiator as well 🤣🤣🤣 OMG! I never paid attention to that before I had one (never thought I’d have one but it found me lolol)!!!
Thanks
This is probably one of the best storytelling videos on youtube, not gonna lie
Hello
Good job.
@@RivuSouravBanerjeeVideoEditor couldn't agree more! I was taking notes the whole time
I have to agree with you.
😂👌🏽
Great video Jeven! Here is a quick recap of what he says:
-Tell more stories, its about practice
-Engaging the audience
-There needs to be context
-Build a structure
1. Set the scene
2. What is the challenge/goal?
3. Road blocks?
4. What happens?
-A resolution
5. Consequences/payoffs
-How did this change me or others?
-How did it make me/others feel?
-Watch more stories not just tutorials
-How did the story teller implement the above bullet points?
-Were there parts lacking?
-Become a visual storyteller
-Become a storyteller with the way that you shoot
-Use different techniques: wide shots, closeups, mediums etc.
-What is your videos goal?
-What are some challenges that make it harder to achieve that goal?
Thank you for summarised 😍🥰
Thank you!!!
Literealy i'm also writing that steps on my notepad. but you helped me alot.
Thank you so much @truett bloxsom this was very helpful
Thank you for this
There aren't enough videos giving storytelling advice. Everyone wants better gear, editing software, lighting, audio... but with no storytelling. Love this.
When people say I'm a TH-cam graduate these are the videos they talk about! Thank you!
Story telling is what I’m trying to get better at. I love the way Casey and Van Neistat tell stories in their vids. Also one of the best storytellers is Kombi Life. I love how they switch between storytelling and traditional vlogging.
Great video Jeven.
I watched his 1 hour breakdown of vlog storytelling last week and this came out this week! So awesome can't wait to implement this with my other channel.
And just like that, I'm interested in your hiking story!
I think you made a point. I'm going to watch more good stories to get inspired and learn tricks and tips I can use on my channel.
Absolutely ❤
I have been trying to figure out how to get my new channel up and running and I knew storytelling was what I needed help with the most, (along with being anxious about recording myself outside), so I have been clinging onto each of your storytelling videos. Thank you so much for the work you're putting into this series. It is very much appreciated Jevon. 🙂👏🏽👍🏽
These tips are gold! Leaving in a few weeks to hike across the US and have been trying to think about how I want to vlog my trip. Been watching a lot of great hiking vlogs, but these tips are incredibly helpful to take things to the next step! Thanks!
I have to say, hands down the best help. Finding a creator like yourself, taking the time and explaining how to make our storytelling better, step by step and along with these guides.. Just rocks
You Sir are an amazing teacher with a natural gift. Highly inspiring as well, constantly underscoring that the only thing separating the greats from the beginners is the work… thank you Sincerely
You are truly an amazing tutor Jeven - I continue to learn most joyfully and enthusiastically with each video you put out - most educational, inspirational, thoughtfully presented and structured. Thank you 🙏
Great tips! This entire storytelling series is my absolute favourite content from the channel! Can’t wait for more 🙂
Jeven - your content is SOOO helpful! Man, I really needed this! Took notes. Will be far more deliberate about my process - starting today. Thanks, mate.
I've been needing a video like this. Because that's what vlogs are short stories. And I definitely need to get better at telling the story. Thank you
Definitely learning this myself lately. The last few years I ignored telling people stories because I thought either they didn’t care, or that it was egotistical for me to do so, that maybe silence was always better. Who wants to listen to me?
But now, I’m seeing that when you tell stories, you’re giving to the world. You’re enriching others. It builds trust, connection, and sometimes makes time dissolve, bringing us to the present in an creative and imaginative way.
And people love that.
OH! MY GOODNESS. I so love your studio set up with the large screen the clean office space. I'm in my 50's I only do videos and post on youtube for family memories. With my kid's school junk in my office and my wife being a science and math teacher her snake and bearded Dragon and stuff all over my office. I sometimes just can't focus on the video and content and story. So every time I see your studio set up I am in a trance just watching the things around you and how much space and how awesome it is. Oh yea, I forgot I love your content that's the real reason I watch. Thank you for all the tens of thousands of hours you have dedicated to your editing and content. yes, I am a subscriber and have been for several years.
Thanks for covering the most important and the least talked about aspect of filmmaking 👏🏼
Hello Bro , I am from India 🇮🇳
I have a tutorial based channel with about 25k subs. I was thinking this morning, I need to bring a little more story to my videos. Then BAM, you release this. Thanks mate. I learn a lot from you.
This was the video I needed! so many focus on what to shoot, not how to tell the story. Thx, man!!
Thank you for this. Just when I needed it. I feel I’m a good story teller in my videos but more ideas refreshers and great insight are amazing. ✊🏼 love it Jeven.
This is exactly what I needed to give my content more direction and focus. I've always had an idea what my videos lacked, but wasn't really sure how or what could give them more clarity.
Thank you, Jeven.
This video is a god send for me. Been a while since anything truly inspired me or made me feel able to actually tell my story as I need to express it. I’ve hired people and nobody could help because they couldn’t see what I was envisioning and I could not clearly understand how to express it confidently. I was starting to downy myself and feel like I may be wasting my life just dreaming about something I wouldn’t ever be able to capture or make count for anything. It’s been a very isolating life for me, the past year or 2 especially. Would make an amazing movie and that’s why I was so dedicated to documenting it, thus far unsusccessfully. Or I just didn’t know what to do with the things I was capturing. I feel a lot more clear and you have a lifelong subscriber in me. You explain the elements, dynamics, and purpose behind telling a story so clearly. Really puts things into a perspective I feel like I can work through and eventually master. I always knew I went thru a lot for some reason and now with the videos you have generously made available to curious creators like me, I think I’m gonna be able to affectively capture my story and show the proper reverence for the things I have been experiencing. Thanks again. Outstanding channel and this is one of the best examples of why I feel like TH-cam has become so dear to my personal development as a human being. If you have any technical courses, I’ll be signing up soon. Great teaching style and I can really benefit from the information because of your approach in how you choose to teach it. Thanks for sharing this crash course on exactly what I have been needing✨🐛💭🌻💫🧩🦋🎟🎭🎬🔮🪄😇🎓
This is well timed gold. I was just sitting and thinking of what the best way to deliberately practice visual storytelling, and BAM. There’s my notification bell.
Storytelling is just a great overall life skill. It benefits you in nearly every situation
I keep coming back to this video again and again because I just haven't found anyone explain / demonstrate it better. Thank You!
Love the example of Mr. Beast. Another great thing he does is increase the stakes of the video as you get further into it so you are more and more invested by the end.
Thanks for the video on the core component of video production.
It was a perfectly timed refresher because this morning I literally just started outlining the story for a documentary about our first 7 month 19,000 mile road trip around the continent.
I'm writing a book right now and was struggling to piece it together. This has been game changing. Thank you so much sharing your knowledge. I'm so much more motivated to continue writing and can approach it with more energy. Thank you!
This has to be one of the best videos yet. I cant wait for more in this series!!
Thanks again Jeven brilliant reminder -I thought I learnt some of this but have have drifted away from it, I'm going to work on this again and become a much better storyteller.
This was awesome, I can't get enough of your storytelling videos. Sometimes I find it hard to tell a story in a vlog, especially when there is no obvious Mr. Beast type story. All his videos are challenges so it's easier to find the story. That said, I appreciated your own story of the visual storytelling in the park. That's a great example of a not-so-obvious story. I'm hoping that putting more effort into planning each video will help flesh out that story element!
My channels been stuck for the past 3 months. I feel as though THIS is the video I needed 🙏🏼
I’ve been watching storytelling videos. This was ace. Thank you bud 🙏🏼♥️
This video is 💯 fire. Great tips that gives us creators a great blueprint to work off of. Keep up the good work 👏🏼
Love how you explain how to story tell. Your videos always get me hooked!
Over the last time I watched a lot of video´s regarding this topic, but this one is different. The structure is amazing and I love that you call us up to actually watching stories instead of endless Tutorials, because that´s what I did. I feel so prepared for my travel vlogs and storytelling now, thank you :)
This is a very, very fine summary of effective story structure and some great examples of how to actually implement the ideas. I published my 11th TH-cam project a few days ago and plan to use this story structure more in every upcoming video.
Absolutely incredible video. I've watched so many videos on vlogging and being a better storyteller but this one definitely tops them. On top of that, I love the recommendation to watch less tutorials and more stories and break those stories down as practice. LOVE it all. 🔥
This is an amazing video about storytelling!
One point though - I've worked on set for 30 years, never once have I wrapped early enough to get outside and see a sunset... sunrise the next day, but never a sunset. I must be working on the wrong sets.
Just subscribed, love your content! 🙌🏻
Thank you, Jeven, for sharing this information. Your break down of Story Structure is something I have never thought about before. I'm going to definitely be thinking about why I'm engaged with certain content after this video. Your advice is greatly appreciated!!
Great video and very helpful. We are new to cruise vlogging and went in thinking we just filmed what we do each day and the rest takes care of itself. Your video helps us consider the idea of making each day a new story (embedded in the bigger entire cruise story) that has a little more structure and takes the viewer more on a journey - where they have more invested. Thanks so much!
Best storytelling video on YT!
been subscribing for a year to your channel and honestly this video is Golden. As a university lecturer and a youtuber, I learn a lot. thanks. I start practicing my story telling on my students :)
This is the kind of video you can watch over and over again. Thank you!
Thanks so much for breaking down the concept for a lot of us who are constantly trying to get these things figured out!
I really appreciate all the time you put into all your videos, your hard work doesn’t go unnoticed. Thank you for all the tips. I need to work on just taking in more stories and analyzing what’s going on in what I’m watching.
This is the best storytelling video I v seen. I have watched this video like 5 times, took notes, and now getting ready to take action. Thanks Dovey
This is such an amazing video - so many creators talk about "story" without giving any detail - this breakdown is awesome!
I am watching videos for DAYS. considering to start a channel or not.
This is by bar the best “tip/help” i’ve found so far. ❤
This is going to help us all so much, thank you!
Looks like it did lol
LOVE! this video!
I was doing some shooting with my action cam and stuff while on a trip and I had no story to shoot around and that made it so much harder to intentionally shoot something. I was just firing away randomly when there was an interesting shot but nothing tied together.
Finally an explanation that hits home and probably be finally being ready for it.
Thanks!
I’m trying to tell stories about my life that I’ll want to watch later. Like when I’m super old and wanting to relive moments. Remember what it was like hanging with my kids, or drinking a beer in my porch. Whatever is going on that day!!! Awesome tips, thanks man!!!!
I see what you did here... You made a story about telling stories. Very crafty!! To echo everyone else, this is a great instructional video, and I believe it's because of that story you weave into it. Masterful! Thank you
Thanks for sharing these awesome tips! Being a good storyteller is definitely a key factor in creating engaging content. I can't wait to apply these techniques to my own videos and improve my storytelling skills.Keep up the good work.
Great video, great advice!
I wish I had seen it earlier.
I used to have a tendency of trying to make "perfect" stories. Really smooth, quick flow, everything in order, fast dynamic pacing. At that time it felt as something I had to pursue.
And then I realised that when I discussed the video with my friends I would actually focus more on the things that happened behind the camera, those roadblock you are talking about.
They appeared to be much more significant than all that "idilic and smooth" story telling.
So now I try to make a mix of both. Smooth and light storytelling but at the same time not to be afraid to go off the script, break the "fourth wall", give some extra input that may not really fit in the story but still can serve as a really vaulable source of information.
This helped a lot to make my stories a little bit more engaging and interesting.
Wow. Fell upon your vid and couldnt believe it was still going on after my nap! I actaully went back and paid attention and learned so much. Thanks for your patience in putting this vid together and using your own storytelling skills in making for a great teaching video.
Thanks buddy! Been trying to make my ow content much more engaging with storytelling. Your pointers do help thinking in the right direction!
Thanks for this lesson! I’m really trying to focus on making my channel about short films about stories. Only problem is I suck at telling stories lol but I want to get better! I think the hardest roadblock is convincing myself others want to hear the story
Dude this will help me so much! I’m currently on a trip with my new DJI mini 2 and your videos have helped a lot!
Hi Jeven! This was so interesting, thank you for sharing and the all the effort you made! I do love hearing people's inspiring stories :) Currently editing a vlog and this is super helpful 🙌
Thank you so much for this video! I've been struggling to tell stories in my videos and will absolutely do my best to apply your advice. Cheers!
Thanks so much for this video! As an aspiring content creator for mountain biking, I need to improve my ability to tell stories because no one wants to watch 20 mins of raw gopro footage lol. This vid and your hiking example was an awesome demonstration of telling a story. This definitely deserves a like :)
I was lacking at this. Was searching for something like this and stumbled upon your video. It's been super useful as I like more cinematic themes rather than random things this is the perfect way to match the genre❤. Love from India🇮🇳
So awesome to observe that we are watching a tutorial that advises watching less tutorials and why. Brilliant!
This was so helpful. I really appreciate it. Side note: this is even awesome from a healing perspective.
After reading so many self help books, this video gave me an aha moment about just how one can create challenges and roadblocks from nowhere about themselves and if they belief the story enough it sticks and become real sometimes.
Oh my goodness, I don't have to believe the story. Just enjoy the experience and then let it go.
I do love the technique to story telling. I'm now interested in telling better stories.
Would you mind giving an example of the "aha moment" and "how one can create challenges and roadblocks from nowhere about themselves" to benefit from this?
Do you mean like creating a positive character trait you don't have, but would like to have?
I was an English major. The idea of 'the quest' is imbedded in western literature. I'll make sure to use your excellent ideas to make little five to seven minute quest videos of my adventures. Thanks for a very helpful post. C
This is such an amazing story telling vid about story telling. You always inspire me and this video is one of my new favorites. Thank you for creating awesomeness that inspire to dream about doing the same one day 💛
BACK AGAIN TO THE DRAWING BOARD! I always remind myself to come back and get a Jeven Refresh!! Thanks for all the time youve put in.
This is the exact type of thing I need to improve. Thanks for this video!
Thanks Jeven!!!! Great idea to help us to tell stories, far too many tech tutorial out there but not a single story tell break down!!!
Great content. Super clear and super high quality. A well-deserved sub! Thank you!
I've been looking to start using storytelling in my videos, and this was mad helpful!
Jeven, you forever changed how I make videos. Thank you.
This is the best storytelling video I've come across. Very easy to understand and start implementing. Thank you!
I'm here after posting my 3rd video as this is an area I realised I'm struggling in after rewatching it. This was insanely insightful and has given me so much to think about. Thank you.
This was EXACTLY what we needed to see !!! Thank you so much for all this knowledge 👏
Your videos are so helpful and are answering questions I didn't know I had, thank you!
Got it ! Thanks ! every times i told people some of my stories they seemed very interested and wouldn t let me end in half the story and i could see how much i would bring them in the feeling of what the story felt at the time it happend they can only visualize what i was saying and the way and tone i was using for that purpose ! i like putting a background music too ! LoL ! 😎
well underrated video my friend such a good value in it, thanks for sharing your ideas and perspective on that. i think you never know how to tell a story. you are just getting better all the time
This is the best storytelling video I’ve watched. Consume more storytelling video and less tutorials was great advice that I’m certainly going to start following. Thank you for all the time you take sharing not just the settings of various tools but the main reason we have them! To tell a story.
Best storytelling breakdown i've seen. It's a permanently saved video for me! Thank you!
Wow, this was so insightful! I’ve never been good with storytelling and have been too afraid to start trying, but your video is pushing me past that and I’m excited to see where I’ll go from here. Thanks!
Thanks Jeven! I saw your lesson on Skillshare (How to Vlog) and I never looked back. Immediately subscribed to your channel and continued learning from your videos. I will follow this series about storytelling and will practice telling stories on my vlogs. I never thought of putting a story on my family travel vlogs. I just thought showing nice footages and little bit of talking would do. Now, I have some ideas on how to make our videos more interesting!
Same here too.
Have made mistakes
I thought it's about footages and talking
Now I know better
This was truly fantastic! Theory, analysis, examples, actionable steps. Thank you very much!
Thank you very much for breaking these steps! Cheers!
As a new vlogger i’m
so glad i found this video, thanks Jeven!
Actually, the way I learned about stories the most is by doing theatre improv because you are specifically collaborating with others to craft a story!
Good tips! Making videos follow this template will make them easier to film, edit, and watch. Nothing worse than getting home after an epic day and realizing what you shot didn’t tell the whole story.
I really appreciated this video. These example were perfect to explain your POV. Thanks so much for sharing it!
Dude, great tips & examples! Working to improve my storytelling, really appreciate what you've done here👍-Josh
Thank you! Your brand story is so important in graphic design-trying to learn more about it for video!
Hello! Great video, thank you! I'm an American living in Russia and I want to start a vlog to show people how it is to live here and raise children. I have no idea how to start, but videos like this are so very helpful. 🙏
Incredibly helpful video! I think i'll come back here to keep referencing to improve my story telling in my videos. Thank you!
This is really really nicely explained, it makes it so much more easy to understand... You keep hearing about story is king, but never explained what it actually is in so much detail. Thanks for this! Now I just have to get it together and start a channel...
I clicked on this video amidst many TH-cam suggestions, and I have to thank for that. Very clear and helpful. Thank you!
could not sleep last night. realized made the lamest vlog yesterday. now uping my game with your help!!! Thanks man!
Such an important reminder to add challenge and conflict to your story, will you achieve your goal.
few minutes in and there’s already so much value in this video!! thank you for this great content 😄 subscribed
