New Video Teaching Series

[TheOCDengineer]

Hi Everyone, I created a intro into circuits teaching video on my youtube channel. I was wondering if you you guys could check it out and give me some feedback on the video. I am trying to figure out if it is worth it to make a full series as it takes a quite a bit of work to make these videos.
Thanks

Very nice intention, much appreciated!

Now, brace for impact: In 7 minutes from atoms and electrons, to two glasses of water, to solar cells with car batteries and energy conservation, to conductors and semiconductors, to ideal voltage and current sources, to Ohm and Kirchhoff, to superposition and solving simple electric circuits, all backed up by calculus formulae about electricity. Just stating laws and facts, and give some numeric examples. No explanations, and no demonstrations. It looks more like a first page of a cheat sheet from the first year of EE. Nobody can follow all those topics in the video unless the topics are already well known. If the topic are already known, then why watching the video?

1. Who's your intended audience?
2. What prerequisite knowledge do you expect from your audience?
3. Why would one want to watch your videos instead of competitor's videos?


I know, these are harsh words for a first video, and I apologize. No harm intended.

I wish you all the best for your new channel!

Constructive advice:
- Don't jump all over the place. Take one subject only and explain it. Don't just throw a formulae.
- Always assume your audience have no idea what you are talking about.

Always keep your camera on a tripod, or at least a monopod.
Nice editing and montage, good sound, nice and fluent narrating.

Thanks For the reply, I could have the video 1 hour long but from my experience with long teaching videos the average watch time is very low. For my KiCad video which is over an hour long most people only watch 4 minutes of it. So I wanted to see how much I could fit in a 7 minute video, maybe it is best for it to be an overview video to get people started but I am not sure.

I think it is not a bout the video time , I'm guessing you asume that the intended audience have more knolwdge do understand and follow the video easily, if that's not the case perhaps you should take more time in every topic.

If you intended audience is new people in electronics I'd suggest to keep the 7 - 10 minutes format, but take more time to explain the topics with more details so it is easier to follow when you get into more advanced topics
