## 1. Google Drive
Google Drive is our centralized storage system for all files.
### Main Folder

- **Purpose:** Main repository for all YouTube-related files.
### Project Folders
- **Name:** `[Video Title or Topic]`
- **Purpose:** Each video project has its own folder.
- **Location:** Inside the `YouTube Projects` folder.
### Subfolders
- **Name:** `Scripts`, `Footage`, `Final Videos`, `Graphics`, `Miscellaneous`
- **Purpose:** These subfolders categorize different types of files.
- **Location:** Inside each project folder.
### File Naming
- **Name:** `[Descriptive Title] + [Version Number or Date (if necessary)]`
- **Purpose:** Make contents easily identifiable.
## 2. Google Sheets
Google Sheets is used for tracking video planning, performance, and budgeting.

## 3. Google Docs
Google Docs is used for writing video scripts and brainstorming.
### Video Script Document
Template:
```
Title: [Your Video Title Here]
Date: [Date]
Introduction:
[This is where you set the stage. Capture your viewer's interest and briefly outline what they can expect from the video.]
Main Content:
[This is the bulk of your script. Break down your topic into subtopics and describe each in detail. If applicable, include cues for visual aids or clips.]
Conclusion:
[Wrap up your content. Review key points and give your viewer a sense of closure.]
Call-to-Action:
[Encourage viewers to interact with your video/channel. This could be asking them to like, comment, subscribe, share, or check out related videos.]
```
### Brainstorming Document
Template:
```
Title: YouTube Video Ideas
Last Updated: [Date]
Idea #1:
[Video Title or Topic]
[Short Description of Idea]
Idea #2:
[Video Title or Topic]
[Short Description of Idea]
...
Note: Once an idea is used, you may want to strike it through and add a note with the video's publish date and performance (views, likes, etc.).
```
## 4. Trello
Trello is our project management tool.
### Trello Board
- **Name:** `YouTube Channel`
- **Purpose:** Dedicated board for managing video production.
### Lists
- **Name:** `Idea Pool`, `Scripting`, `Filming`, `Editing`, `Ready to Publish`, `Published`
- **Purpose:** Represent each stage of the production process.
### Cards
- **Name:** `[Video Title]`
- **Purpose:** Each video gets a card. The card moves from list to list as it progresses.
Components of a Card:
- Title
- Description
- Checklist
- Due Date
- Attachments (linking to relevant Google Docs, Sheets, and Drive files)
Regular updates and maintenance are essential for this system to function efficiently. Consistency is key in this framework. Establish a system that works for you!
