It’s commonly known and agreed upon that first impressions are very important. A first impression gone wrong can be haunting. Intros to videos are that first impression which sets a theme to the video and oftentimes determines if the audience is going to continue to watch. So, it is very important to get everything right in the intro. Here are some tips which you can follow while making an intro to your videos:

  1. Keep it light and short: The intro should complement your content, making the audience get hooked to your video.
  2. Catchphrase: Make sure that you have a good catchphrase which your viewers can identify with you. For example, everyone knows and attributes this phrase to Lilly Singh’s videos: “Whaddup everyone? It’s yo girl Superwoman!”
  3. Surprise and tease: If you have some interesting news in the video give a teaser about it in your intro.
  4. Visually engaging: Make your intro visually appealing by adding music, animation, and other effects.
  5. Reflect your brand: Be consistent with the visuals, color, music, and effects, it should reflect your brand.
