Content Creation

Beginning

In my life, I have tried many times to make public content, mainly through videos and photos. I had tried to make multiple YouTube channels, Instagram accounts, and a blog. While I liked it, I didn't love it. I had been experimenting with what kind of content I wanted to produce and in what format.

While in high school, I enjoyed video-making but wasn't confident enough for a camera, so I transitioned to faceless content. After that, I felt that I needed to play up my voice to compensate, and it felt fake, so unfortunately, I gave up on that. 

I continued forward with a blog on Tumblr. I was making photo collages based on aesthetics I found on Pinterest and sharing them and sharing them with poems or quotes I had made. I was just starting to get into writing and was fueled by the photo collages I made.

When I felt that wasn't fulfilling my desire to create, I started to write a book. I had started writing many "books" up until that point in my junior year, based on what I had read, but this one I was committed to. Or so I thought. When I lost inspiration, it fell to the back burner and was eventually lost during a data wipe.

But I didn't stop there! I got my first phone and began taking my own photos of my surroundings to post on Instagram, though I quickly found that I didn't have interesting things to take photos of and had no photography experience.

What do all of these have in common? I didn't understand content creation and gave up, again and again.

As an adult, I tried one more time. I became a social media manager for a friend, and as a team, with her face and my editing, she has been able to amass over 12,400 followers on TikTok. I found that video editing was going to be where my skills lay. I will never say that I am an amazing video editor, but I love it and use every video as a chance to grow and develop my craft.
