Vlog's Chinese name is micro-recording, full name video? Log (video, recording);

It is a form of video, defined as: video? Log-video log ",which carries the contents of the log in the form of video; Video? Yes? Log-log video ",the log content is a video service, and the video content is a daily record.

The core point of Vlog: truth and improvisation; Use the method of "graphic+video+music" to create freely anytime and anywhere.

"We all live in our own cages and don't want to miss any chance to see other people's cages."

? Display and curiosity are the most basic characteristics of vlog.

In fact, it is to tell stories by video, which is often used to record interesting things in life and has a wide range of topics.

As the saying goes, "the soldiers and horses have not moved, and the food and grass go first."

The first question to think about should be: what tools are used to assist shooting?

Equipment: large memory mobile phone+tripod+handheld tripod+microphone+fill light;

Mobile phone: Turn on the camera, set the recorded video to 4K and 60fps, and set the recorded slow-motion video to 1080p and 240fps.

Tripod: Octopus is very good, the picture quality is stable, and everything can be put on the plate. "That's great.

TPKI pan/tilt: it can rotate at 360℃, with embedded Bluetooth remote control and stable and anti-shake cloud handle (price 50+);

Voice receiver with microphone: plug and play, good recording and radio effect (price 30+);

Fill light lamp: Jiebao TTV-204, cost-effective, easy to carry and good brightness. Color temperature can be adjusted (price 100+).

Now, the evolution of tools is from "complex to simple", so it can be applied;

Please remember: it is important for a blogger to output high-quality content instead of blindly upgrading equipment; Equipment is only an auxiliary tool.

And shoot vlog?

It is to combine the highlights of life into a complete story through lens arrangement, and pass this complete story to the audience through your storytelling skills (lens language), so that the audience has a * * * sound.

Generally, it is divided into three steps: early pregnancy; Mid-term shooting; Post-editing.

The key factor that determines whether a vlog can be seen is to come up with a pen and paper idea.

Determine the design of people: uniqueness, the name should have a distinct image of a natural person, so that people can remember it at first sight; Find out who you really are, what's the difference and what you want to give others.

Then, make clear the theme of vlog, that is, what to shoot, such as food shops, travel, diaries and so on.

Highlight the theme features, such as shooting more close-ups of dishes, dining environment and dining experience when visiting vlog.

The most important thing is script creation, which is the soul of short video! !

Remember these three words, where? Who is it? What means who, where and what.

Once the script is written, it will change from written language to lens language, that is, shooting.

Please think like a director when shooting, use a pair of eyes to appreciate and observe life, and be good at digging;

The most important thing is communication. You need to treat the camera as your friend and chat with them.

Remember, the first level of doing a good vlog is to recognize your true self under the camera.

Mobile phone operation: put the shooting subject in the middle, and you don't have to put the rear one in front, which can improve the picture quality of mobile phone shooting;

Various parameters can be adjusted to the highest, such as the highest resolution shooting; Because the higher the resolution when shooting, the better and clearer your picture quality will be.

When shooting, pay attention to adopting various lens methods, such as fixing, shaking, moving, following, lifting, etc. A variety of shooting scenes, far, middle and near close-ups; Various lens speeds, delays and upgrades.

A complete vlog mainly includes opening, volume A, volume B, transition and ending;

B-Roll is a supplementary and auxiliary lens, which describes and unfolds this journey through the surrounding environment and supplementary details.

Highlighting the detailed description, carving subtle movements, facial expressions and even local close-ups of clothes and hats can dig out stories and enhance the audience's sense of participation.

For example, aerial photography of the beach and the sea, but what you took was the tan back of the old man selling hats, which was very good;

After all, when a small window sees a person's changes and persistence, persistence and courage, calmness and hesitation over the past year, it should be a wonderful Vlog.

The disassembly of clips is nothing more than two things, splicing and beautification.

Splicing.

Big talk is whether there is connection logic between different content plates; At the very least, whether the two pictures are natural and harmonious.

Everyone tells stories with their own routines/templates, and most people like to use chronological order, including sequence, interpolation and reverse order; You can also use place order, or character order, or even insert many character lines/timelines as carriers to enrich the content carrying capacity of vlog.

You will gradually find that good Vlog pictures serve the theme, rather than making pictures the theme.

Whether to play B or C after A depends on what message you want to convey.

For example, the close-up of roast duck is connected to the restaurant screen, and the audience gets "Well, this blogger is ready to start describing food".

Let's talk about transitions first: the connection between two pictures is divided into natural transitions and unnatural transitions;

A cool mask transition can help you increase the artistic appreciation of the picture, and a snap switch transition can make your confession look crisp and neat.

Finally add background music. Music and pictures complement each other. One satisfies hearing and the other satisfies vision. Music is the soul of video, which makes the picture come alive. Video is the carrier of music, which makes music flesh and blood.
