How to make a good vlog
- Content- Narrow down what it is that you want to include in a vlog by planning things to include in the beginning, middle and end. This should be things that would be interesting for the viewer and something that is enjoyable to film.
- Camera- The camera you use should relate to the type of vlog you're making. For example, if you would like to make a vlog in which your travelling, the best type of camera to use is a go pro, however if you're making a vlog from your desk then the best solution would be to use your webcam.
- Lighting- This plays a very big part in vlogs and viewers will instantly judge a video from the lighting. The light should be pointing towards you and not behind you, however you can also make good use from natural lighting such as daylight or window light bu tif you want a professional looking vlog you can invest in umbrella lights, reflectors and light rings
- Audio- Try to make sure that you are filming in a good environment with a clear microphone so that there is no muffling. Lavalier microphones are one of the best for vlogs as they are very discreet but can still produce good sound and places with low reverb are one of the best places to film as the sound is more clearer.
