She's a nice one. For video styles like these, on a platform like UA-cam, try to get the viewer to buy in to you as a person. More engagement and a returning audience is less about the specifics of the content, and more about an enjoyment of its creator. In the case of this video, that would come in the form of narration, which you could either do while recording, or if it's going to be heavy on the cuts like this, then added afterwards. The casual nature of UA-cam creators as they typically are, then the content and narration probably doesn't need any scripting or planning out; just a rough idea of some talking points. For this video of 5 minutes, you could talk about your dog mostly; a bit of origin story, and facets about her traits and such. Also as a secondary topic, where it is you were out walking. Doesn't need to be polished; it's just about you being you, talking about stuff. By not making it a performance, you naturally start to identify who is interested in you and the things you do. Once you see a trend, you can focus on maximising those things that are most popular to expand your viewership. And usually, the more niche the better for a small channel starting out. Also, unless you're specifically making a channel that you hope to be your full-time job one day, make sure whatever you're doing doesn't start to feel like a chore. Just have fun making and sharing things, however irrelevant or banal you might assume others will think it is! Don't worry much about the equipment, the shots, or the editing skills. That just comes with time. Only thing to be careful with is audio quality; that is often a big turn-off for people if it's a mix of almost inaudible mixed with blasting people's ears off mixed with harsh background noises! I'm by no means knowledgeable about this, so take it all with a pinch of salt, but I've had fun making videos for UA-cam for 7 years at this point, and I hope my words are useful.
