Hello Viewers! GamerInspector4700 here! Apparently we needed to do another blog, so that's what I'm going to do.
I'm gonna talk about the future of my channel.
This blog project has been fun for me, and I have gotten up a grand total of 4 official videos up. I'm working on a fifth one now, but they have ranged to Top Ten, to Let's Play, to Music Video, to a Game Review. I've yet to do a game theory, but that's the type of video in the works.
I'm gonna keep growing my channel, and I'll probably keep it up until I'm out of college. Heck, I might go to youtube full time, because you can make a bunch of money off of youtube ads. That's all I have to say about the future of my channel.
I have gotten a lot of good comments on this blog about both My channel and this blog, and I just want to say Thank You to everyone.
Well, that's about it. GamerInspector4700, signing off.

Reflections (possible final post)
Hello Viewers! GamerInspector4700 here! Wow. Last blog post. Reflection. feels like I just started doing this project. Funny how time seems to go faster when you get older. Before I forget, while I'm typing this my review video on the game Star Fox Zero is being uploaded. I'll probably confirm its upload either late tonight or tomorrow morning. Getting back on track, I should talk about reflection.
When I first started this channel with my first video, my top eight game cube games, I literally had nothing but my mom's computer with Windows Movie Maker. And my iPhone. Can't forget the iPhone. But even then with just that stuff (I'm not trying to brag or anything), I made an exceptional video, but it wasn't an excellent video. After that, I ordered a capture card for getting footage from video games, along with a good student deal for some Adobe programs such as Premier Pro, Photoshop, and After Effects (although I haven't used THAT one yet; still trying to figure it out.). I also got a Yeti microphone for good sound quality.
My next video was episode one of my Wind Waker Let's Play (which I'm discontinuing for reasons). That was a better one. with different subtitles and better video/sound quality.
Then my music video, which if I'm being honest, was just a content filler.
Finally, there is my first review video, which is the most work I've ever put into a video. I'd rather not talk about it, so you guys can see for yourselves. I'm really proud of it.
So that about wraps up this post. Thank you for listening to me ramble, and I hope you enjoy my review video. Buh-Bye!

Narrative
Hello, Viewers! GamerInspector4700/Will Underwood here!
So I'm supposed to write a short story about me and my project. Okay. I can do this. I CAN TOTALLY DO THIS!
(gets out my computer, types one word, and goes and hides in the closet.)
Not really. Just kidding.
I might as well talk about making my first YouTube video, my top eight game cube games. The first thing I needed to do is actually make a list of my favorite top eight game cube games. It was somewhat easy, because I only played about 20 game cube games, but it was still somewhat difficult. The next thing I needed to do was write a script. YouTube videos aren't improvised (not usually), and I had to make a list of reasons of why these games were my favorite games, and in that order.
Next is filming, I guess. I say "I guess" because, only some of the parts were actually filmed. You could do an entire video as a face cam, or you could get footage from the games, and you could make an entire video with that. You would need to record your voice, though
Now is the most difficult step in my opinion: editing. For this video, it was somewhat easy, albeit, it took a long time, but that's just because it's editing. I used Windows Movie Maker for this, since that's the only editing program I had at the time. Now, since I use Premier Pro, it's pretty difficult.
Final step is proofreading and uploading. Proofreading is just looking over the video to make sure everything is right, and uploading is more of a waiting step. It takes a bit to upload on YouTube, but in the end, it's worth it. You also should put a description in the video.
That's about it for the making of a video. I hope you liked it. For now, Buh Bye!
Side note: I'm hoping to get one more video up before the presentation next friday, and it's going to be my biggest video yet. You will have to wait and see what it is.

persuasive
Hello, Viewers! Will Underwood/GamerInspector4700 here! Now, for this next post, I'm gonna talk about something that a lot of you tubers (myself included) thought about at first, and struggled with.
The first thing is keeping a schedule. Thats right, I'm man enough to admit my struggles and mistakes. Although thats not what I'm talking about, I got a lot of comments telling me I should do that, so I made a mental schedule right now. written one is coming soon.
No. the thing I want to talk about is pretty simple when you think about it in hindsight: How to make the right YouTube channel.
"But GamerInspector4700,"I hear you saying. "There is little to no difference on what makes a RIGHT YouTube channel and a GOOD YouTube channel!" To which I would say, "Wow. I can't believe you knew I was gonna talk about what makes a GOOD YouTube channel and a RIGHT YouTube channel. What, do you have Jedi mind reading powers or something?" Well, fire your blaster, because I'm gonna stop that shot in midair with the force. The force of my rebuttal.
All "The Force Awakens" references aside, yes. I nagged myself on what types of videos I should do, every little detail to make my channel the "perfect" channel. But as I found later (by thought and looking at this blog's comments), I learned that there is no "Right" YouTube channel. You won't find any one channel that is the same. Every channel is unique in their own special way. And a good majority are really good YouTube channels, such as The Jwittz, Game Theory, That One Video Gamer (I'm not lying, that is actually his channel's name.), MandJTV Pokevids, Squillistipated, Peanut Butter Gamer, just to name a few. Sure, they all do videos on video games, but they all do it in their own unique way, and they are all GREAT youtubers! I hope GamerInspector4700 can get as high as they are, give or take a few years.
Well, yea. If you ever want to start a YouTube channel, then do it in your own way. don't nag yourself on every little detail, there is NO right channel. Only good ones.
Right before I end this blog post, I have an announcement. I am hoping to finish a new video by tomorrow, which is a music video with a song by one of my favorite original video game inspired song writers on YouTube, Mandopony! You will have to wait to see which song/game it is, and I will be singing to it, because I love to sing! after that, I am going to review the game i am doing the music video on, so look forward to that. Lastly, I need to get a PS4 so I can play Ratchet and Clank. I've heard it's a great game, the movie just came out today (PLEASE BE A GOOD MOVIE BASED ON A VIDEO GAME), so I'm gonna try it soon.
That's it for the announcement, so until next time, Buh bye!

Hello Viewers! Will Underwood/GamerInspector4700 here!
Now, let me talk about what I have learned from making a YouTube channel. The first thing that pops to mind: commitment. And editing. But mostly commitment. Let me elaborate. You can't just say, "oh! I want to make a YouTube channel!" And then not do anything on it. You have to stay focused on the task at hand. You can't just stop making videos for a large amount of time without a good excuse. Which leads me to my next point.
I've stopped making videos for a large amount of time.
But I have a good excuse.
I know I should apologize for that, but let me explain.
My Spanish and math grades are not so good, so I'm trying to raise those up for the school year end, but right now I'm trying to make a video, but I also have the school play in the way, so once that's done Sunday, it's business as usual.
Let me now talk about editing. Specifically, editing with premier pro. Well,
It's really hard.
The main reason is that I only know about half of how it works, and I can still make quality videos using that fifty percent, but I'm trying to find out how to use the OTHER fifty percent to add to the current fifty percent so that the two fifty percent will become one hundred percent.
Get what I'm saying?
Pretty much I want to know how to use it completely in an overly elaborate sentance. I know. I like doing that.
But other than that, nothing has really been happening, so I kinda have to cut this blog short. I promise I will have more to say next week because I will be more available to make videos, but right now I'm not, so by by!

Hello Viewers! Will Underwood/GamerInspector4700 here (gotta do my opening. Always.)! This week is about the mentor that I have, and what he taught me about how to grow my youtube channel! The problem is though, I don't have a mentor (GASP!). Even though I don't have a mentor, that doesn't mean that I didn't learn a thing or two from watching videos from my favorite YouTubers. I should start with what I did learn from watching.
One of the YouTubers I'm subscribed to, MandJTV Pokevids (great guy, does great pokemon videos), made a special video about how he started as a YouTuber and how the most important three things were: creativity, persistence, and quality. Creativity means making creative videos using different ideas. For example, one sub series he has is "Pokemon Talk," a talk show with two stuffed Pokemon dolls talking about any subject (it sounds stupid on paper, but it's really cool.) It also includes a bunch of comedy: Squirtle having a British accent and various guests (other Pokemon plush) as being, as Bulbasaur puts it, "One of these." It's a great show and example of creative YouTubing.
Persistence means you keep making videos even when you don't have many views or subscribers. Rome wasn't built in a day and neither was Pew Di Pie's channel. If you keep at it, you will find yourself getting more subscribers and viewers which is the goal of every YouTuber.
The last thing is Quality which means that you shouldn't give viewers bad quality videos, i.e. bad sound or footage. It also doesn't require you have to have a $300 dollar HD camera, (which I haven't done.) At least try not to give shaky footage, or film off of your phone (ironically, I DO film from my phone currently, but it's still pretty good so far).
Now, I'm going to talk about what I learned from a specific type of videos: Theory videos. I learned about these from watching MatPat from Game Theory. Let me give you a brief description of a theory video, more specifically, a GAME theory video. You take a game. Make a cool theory about it, like how Mario is a Psychopath with ASPD (anti-social personality disorder.) You research it and then go through the normal video making process (write a script, record, edit, etc...). If you were MatPat, you would say at the end of every video, "But hey! That's just a theory. A GAME theory. Thanks for watching!" Man, that is such a cool phrase. Maybe I can buy the rights for it. Someday. Or no day. (Sigh).
Well, thank you for reading, and buh-bye!
