(limited time offer) https://www.storyblocks.com/katie | Books have an incredible power to inspire you and shape your creativity. It’s too bad that everyone is recommending such bad ones. Most of the videos you find on YouTube recommending books to help you become more creative will be suggesting the same pop self help books you buy at airports that basically give you the same advice over and over again. But I think fiction is an even more powerful tool to understand storytelling in a way that’s actually going to help you connect with your audience and grow your YouTube channel. So here are 5 books, and the storytelling lessons you can apply to your YouTube videos. 🎬 Get my team of editors to edit your YouTube videos! 👉🏻 https://www.creatorlymedia.com 🚐 Watch my van life / travel channel https://www.youtube.com/@KatieandDan 📸 Follow me on Instagram! https://www.instagram.com/katiesteckly 📕 TABLE OF CONTENTS 📕 00:00 the best creative lessons come from fiction 00:45 Wuthering Heights - framing narrative 01:47 the substance / visuals matrix 02:33 a visual framing narrative makes your video more interesting 02:55 EXAMPE - Riza’s visual framing narrative for a life lesson 03:33 The DaVinci Code - masterclass in pacing 03:59 open loop breakdown of chapter 1 05:04 how to pace your scenes for retention 05:45 EXAMPLE - how Michelle Khare keeps you watching 06:17 Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier - nature as emotion 06:50 nature / visual elements are an efficient way to communicate feeling 07:51 let your style of footage emphasize the emotion 08:26 the BEST way to get extra visuals + audio for your videos 09:23 allow me ONE non-fiction example 09:55 on keeping a notebook from Slouching Towards Bethlehem 10:52 “on” vs “how to” 11:37 The Handmaid’s Tale - time jumps 13:30 start your story in the middle 13:47 YouTube is an art form - take lessons from other artists! 🔗 LINKS 🔗 *some of these are affiliate links, which means if you make a purchase on the site after clicking these links, I could earn a commission at no extra cost to you. thanks for supporting the channel! 🎧 where I get music for my videos: https://share.epidemicsound.com/6x4f73 🎬 stock footage & animations I use: https://www.storyblocks.com/katie 📹 Camera Gear: Main camera: https://geni.us/kszve1 Lens: https://geni.us/ks1625 Vlog camera: https://geni.us/kszve10ii Microphone: https://geni.us/djimicmini Tripod: https://geni.us/ksulanzi 👉🏻 See all my gear here: https://katiesteckly.com/gear 👋🏻 ABOUT ME Hey, I'm Katie!
