Vital Viral Videos

Viral videos are all over the internet now a days. Every time I log onto Facebook I watch at least four new ones. These videos are usually based around things that are funny, painful, heartwarming, or skillful. There are a wide variety of viral videos; the one's that I seem to view the most are the videos that involve children.  They have such a real and honest humor that often shines without any effort. One of my favorite viral videos is of a little girl named Ella, she is riding in the car with her dad while humorously singing along to an Elvis song. Her adorable facial expressions and hand motions are what kept my attention while watching this video. It is titled Ella Mae sings "An American Trilogy" by Elvis Presley. Check it out for yourself here.

I think that this video went viral because it is not only comical but it is also adorable. This is a video that a variety of people would enjoy watching. Viral videos are all about bringing entertainment to a large audience. You have to grab a lot of peoples attention not just a group, or a select few. Another thing to look at is that this video didn't have much planning, the more nonchalant and casual the video feels the more people will find it to be truly entertaining.

Viral videos are often looking to evoke an emotional response; which is something that people can use to their advantage while filming. Another thing that helps a video get seen by many is to keep it short and simple. The one that I chose is a little longer than some other videos that have went viral, but I think it still keeps you entertained throughout the entirety of it. The last thing that I think is key to keep in mind while trying to get a video to go viral is to make sure that it is searchable. You want something that is not only easy to find, but also to share!
