How to travel by video?

I saw that many answers mentioned tips related to composition and photography. So I won't throw a broadsword or pull anything else. Because I often do some travel videos with male tickets after traveling, although I can't talk about professional videos, I still want to share with you some simple and easy-to-understand precautions in the shooting process. (ps: mainly UGC of tourism Vlog. If there is a team shooting and big production, please take a detour (*/Ω \ *))

Mainly summarized the following aspects.

Make clear the shooting target, don't shoot everything, tell stories with clips from different perspectives, and shoot more materials with different themes. Background music is a very important equipment, with lightness as the key magic weapon to win, and move slowly to create a large aesthetic feeling.

1, shooting target is clear

If you want to get twice the result with half the effort and shoot a film efficiently, you must first make clear your shooting goal before shooting. Specifically, whether it is to record the Vlog of the travel process, to record the types of travel programs with the nature of travel, or to obtain beautiful MV travel videos, we must determine the direction before shooting.

Otherwise, it is like a headless fly. Without the ability of God to edit, it is in danger of becoming a four-elephant.

You don't have to shoot everything.

Video recording is mainly to record the best part of the journey, not the driving recorder. Shooting everything will not only appear without focus, but also greatly increase the workload of post-production. So many materials have not been edited, it is enough to read them one by one.

Especially when you want to shoot a high-quality and slightly professional video, you will find that 99% of the shots will not be used. Therefore, on the basis of the first point above, it is necessary to shoot in a targeted manner! !

3. Tell stories with fragments from different perspectives.

If photography is to tell a story with one photo, then photography is to tell a story with countless photos in series. The same theme, we can use different fragments to present, increase the richness of content, and the audience's perception.

Among them, the difference between scenes is more common, including distant view, close-up view and close-up.

Foresight mainly shows geographical environment, natural features and open scenery and scenes. If you go to the vast desert and grassland, without a long-term vision, the close-up view is a waste. A close-up is a close-up of the whole body or part of an object, such as Tony Leung Chiu Wai's eyes and Wallace Huo's eyelashes.

4. Shoot more materials with different themes.

Although you have started shooting female basin friends from different scenes and angles, if you want to make the video more interesting, you can try to add more fresh and fun elements and shoot more subjects with different themes, such as cute children, small animals on the roadside, flowers on the edge of the field, fishing boats moored at sea and patterns on buildings. ...

In short, details are the only way to keep your video fresh. You can also refer to the reality show of Mango TV.

5. Background music is very important

I found that when editing videos, I often spend a lot of time and energy looking for suitable background music, because the importance of music is enough to make the wonderful degree of videos grow geometrically, even bring a video back to life, and of course, it can completely destroy the fragile interest and appetite of the audience. There are several points to note:

Sense of rhythm

Generally speaking, the concert takes 8 beats as the base, four 8 beats as a bar, and the music level conversion between each bar, that is, video level conversion. In short, changing the picture with the music beat will make the picture more emotional.
