Video Research How to make sure your video content is unique?

[slikovaca]

Hey folks, I'm struggling with this question for a while, how do you approach research for video content to make sure it's unique (considering the fact there's billions of videos on the internet plus they can be in different languages and on different platforms like youtube, facebook, tiktok, twitter, 9gag, etc...)

Is like keyword research enough or do you use some other techniques which help you make sure you distinguish your video content from the already existing videos?

This is more related to the copyright aspect because substantial similarity in video can set grounds for lawsuits.

For me, I'm in a small enough niche that I figure, if I come up with the idea, I can defend that it was my own idea and I am not trying to copy anyone. I guess I should do more thinking about it...

Remember that being unique is not beholden specifically to your niche and topic. You can cover the same topics that others have and so long as you do it with your own personal flair then you are providing value to viewers who prefer your style to others.

Yes, motion picture is a language. Like any language, when you know how to speak the language, no one will have problems understanding you, nor will they mistake your voice for anyone else even though you are using the same words. Think of how often you can pick out a family member's voice in a loud, crowded room, or that you can recognize someone over the phone whom you haven't spoken to in years.

Here's a good example, look at Stanley's YouTube channel and mine. We both have the the "same" type of channel. We both use the same language of motion picture, but each looks different and appeals to slightly different people groups. That's what makes YouTube so great, you can target and find your people with relative easy.

There are a lot of ways to learn the language of motion picture. Some people go to film school. Some people read lots of books, like me. Others watch tons of TV, movies and emulate what they see. It only takes about two weeks to learn to make movies. It's a very simple, basic language compared to anything spoken.

I am in a very saturated YouTube market/niche... What I try to do is research popular channels in this niche and then try to do some unique twists with mine.

Being unique is doing something everyone is doing in an uncommon way but still maintaining high standards and quality. Do more research about youtubers in your niche and try figuring out how to make yours the best

I think your personality will either sell your vid's or not. Quality video content is what I am trying to achieve.

That is literally what I wrote.

This is probably one of my favorite movies I've ever watched. Along with this movie, I also have some favorite movies directed by other people, but I like this one more. I also have a director's education and I studied at the film school in Prague, so I shoot short films that I upload to the Internet and even launch in cinemas. I love cinema very much and have loved it since childhood, when my dad showed various videotapes of films and we watched them on a projector. Then I became interested in how the equipment, various cameras and special effects work, and after that I became interested in directors who make movies and I reviewed their films.
