5 Ideas For a Short Form Video Beginner

January 29, 2025 Mallory Marshall Comments Off

Here are five beginner-friendly Reel ideas for someone new to short-form video:

1. Introduce Yourself

~ Create a simple video where you introduce who you are, what you do, and one fun fact about yourself.

~ Use text overlays to guide the audience if you’re not ready to speak directly to fthe camera.

~ Example: “Hi! I’m [Name], and I help [audience] achieve [result]. Fun fact: I [unique or quirky fact]!”

2. A Day in the Life

~ Film small clips of your daily routine or work process (e.g., setting up your workspace, coffee breaks, or prepping for a client meeting).

~ Add a trending sound or upbeat music to tie the clips together.

~ Example caption: “A peek into my day as a [your role]!”

3. Before and After

~Show a transformation related to your work or life.

~ Example: Start with a messy desk (or unedited project), then transition to a clean, organized space (or completed work).

~ Use a trending transition effect or simply cover the camera with your hand to switch scenes.

4. Share One Quick Tip

~ Offer a single helpful tip related to your expertise, such as productivity hacks, an industry insight, or a life skill.

~ Keep it short and to the point, using captions or text overlays if needed.

~ Example: “Struggling to stay focused? Try the Pomodoro technique \u2013 work for 25 minutes, then take a 5-minute break!”

5. React to a Trending Sound

~ Find a popular sound that aligns with your niche or personality.

~ Record yourself using the sound with a relevant caption or reaction.

~ Example: Use a “When [relatable situation] happens” format to connect with your audience.

These ideas are low-pressure and allow you to ease into short-form video while still engaging your audience effectively.
