As do-it-yourself (DIY) technical communication populates the internet, many amateur technical communicators create instructional videos online using platforms such as YouTube. But these DIY instructional videos may not be effective.Further, current research in technical editing practice shows that technical editors must have facility in editing and providing commentary on multimodal and multimedia content (videos, social media posts, markup languages, and so on).Task:Choose a 5- to 10-minute instructional video on an appropriate subject from YouTube or another appropriate platform. Then, compose a 1- to 2-page letter (single spaced) to the creator of the video with editorial commentary about the content, organization, style, and delivery of the instructions. “Delivery” entails audio and visual components not typical to written content. Some other specifics about the content and organization are the following:
Balance clarity and politeness.
Recall previous lessons on word choice and tone, especially sensitive content and levels of directness.
Be sure video creators know how to do what you tell them. For example, if you think adding text overlays would improve the video, consider that they may not know how to create text overlays. What might they consult for how to do this?
Ensure paragraphs are unified, cohesive, and developed.
Incorporate research from at least two sources on effective videography and instructional videos. Practitioner blogposts are acceptable and are easy to access.
Formatting:
Implement professional letter formatting conventions. Follow the guidelines listed in this source: https://owl.purdue.edu/owl/subject_specific_writing/professional_technical_writing/basic_business_letters/index.html (Links to an external site.)
For the inside address, input the username of the video creator or the real name (if available), and include a short URL to the video in place of the letter recipient’s address information.

You need to write an editorial letter to YouTuber who made the above video in the link giving compliments and giving him a suggestion to how he can make that video better. You need to give a lot of suggestions than compliments because this letter is more like you are giving suggestions to video creator how he can do better in his video in a very good tone.
I have attached a sample file which will give you an idea of how the letter should look like. Don’t forget to add citations.
