| Step | What to Do | Tools / Resources |
|------|------------|-------------------|
| a. Define the niche | “Lifestyle & Entertainment” is broad. Pinpoint a sub‑topic that fits Nanda’s brand (e.g., “Morning Routine for Busy Creators”, “Top 5 Trending TikTok Challenges”, “DIY Home Décor on a Budget”). | Google Trends, YouTube Trends, TikTok “Discover”, Reddit r/lifestyle, r/entertainment |
| b. Set a concrete goal | 13‑minute runtime → ~8‑10 main segments + intro/outro. Aim for a watch‑time > 80% (≈10 min retained). | Notion / Google Docs to outline segment times |
| c. Research & gather data | Collect stats, quotes, product links, royalty‑free assets. | Statista, Pew Research, Unsplash/Pexels, Free Music Archive |
| d. Write a script | - Hook (0:00‑0:30): Pose a compelling question or teaser.
- Intro (0:30‑1:00): Brand logo + tagline.
- Main sections (1:00‑11:30): 3‑4 bite‑size topics, each 2‑3 min.
- Call‑to‑action (11:30‑12:30): Subscribe, follow, download resources.
- Outro (12:30‑13:00): End screen with playlist links. | Celtx, Google Docs, Scrivener |
| e. Storyboard / shot list | Sketch each frame or write a “visual cue” (e.g., “Cut to overhead shot of coffee beans”). | Storyboarder (free), Canva, pen & paper |
| f. Gear checklist | - Camera (mirrorless/DSLR or high‑end smartphone)
- Lens (24‑70 mm is versatile)
- Tripod / Gimbal
- External mic (shotgun or lapel)
- Softbox lights or LED panel
- SD card (UHS‑I, 64 GB+)
- Backup battery | Check your current inventory; rent if needed |
Tip: Keep the total raw footage ≈30‑45 min. This gives you flexibility while staying within a 13‑minute final cut.

How to create a custom shortened URL with “1329”
If you are on a free plan, use an external shortener: | Step | What to Do | Tools
| Element | Recommendation | |---------|----------------| | Background | Clean, uncluttered, on‑brand colors (e.g., pastel teal). Add a small “Nanda” logo prop. | | Lighting | 3‑point: Key (45°), Fill (30°), Back (rim). Aim for 4500‑5600 K. Use diffusers to avoid harsh shadows. | | Audio | Record a test clip → check levels (‑12 dB to ‑6 dB). Use a pop filter for voice‑overs. | | Camera Settings | 4K 30fps (or 1080 60fps if you need slow‑motion). Set white‑balance manually. Use a flat picture profile (Log) if you plan to color‑grade. | | Framing | Rule of thirds for talking‑head; keep eyes ~⅓ from top. Use a “talking‑head + B‑roll” layout in post. |
Pro tip: Record extra “fills” (10‑15 sec of ambient footage) for smooth transitions. | Link Type | Example | |----------|---------| |
