How to Think of Ideas for Your Web Video

"I want to make a video with my friends, but I can't come up with any ideas."

"What can I make my video about?"

"Got any ideas?"

Does this sound familiar? It is probably why you are here in the first place, right? Well, I am not going to give you any specific idea for your video in this article. But before you get mad and leave, let me say that by reading this article, it will help you easily come up with an idea by yourself in no time. Oh ... doesn't sound so bad after all, eh? Well read on. There are two types of videos you most likely want to make, comedy or horror.

Well let's get the first one out of the way. You want to make a funny comedy skit, right? Go ahead, admit it, it's okay. So where do you get an idea? I am sure that you are familiar with late night weekend TV shows featuring comedy skits. Every week they have to pack six to ten comedy skits into a one-hour show. How do they come up with all those ideas? Spoofs, that is how. Spoofs are quick and easy skit ideas. Think of some familiar show, movie, commercial or topic you know of, turn it around and spoof it. Modify the show's title or brand name and put a twist on its meaning. Change the characters' names with funny words. Think of how the show, scene or commercial can be done in a different and unexpected way.
