Are you trying to get some views on your YouTube channel?
How much time do you spend watching Youtube every week? For me, it seems like the number continues to escalate. That could be because the stories on these channels are getting better and better. I have a theory. I think it’s because they’re getting into screenplay structure.
Truth is, I’ve been scanning a lot of these longer-form YouTuber videos where influencers do things out in the wild. I’m talking go on a ton of dates, get into prank wars, or try out vacation spots. In all of them, I’ve found a five-act structure we see in a lot of screenplays, especially for TV shows.
I figure some people who read this site might want to make these YouTube videos. Influencers, or KOPs as the rest of the world calls them, can make a lot of money by getting millions of people to watch their channels. They do that by keeping us watching their videos through commercials to see what happens on the other side.
Structure helps do that.
Today we’re going to break down long-form YouTube structure and show you how you can apply it to your work.
