Video Blogging, also known as Vlogging, can be difficult for the inexperienced. In any case, with a little practice and some advice, you can start video-blogging too.
Steps
Step 1. Decide on the topics to cover
Are you just going to chat or talk about specific topics like, for example, music or sports?
Step 2. Identify your target
Stick to topics that are interesting to your target audience, or target audience in English.
Step 3. Get the right equipment
There are "professional" videobloggers who spend hundreds of euros for cameras and microphones, while others use nothing but the built-in recorder and camera of their PC. Especially in the beginning, use everything you have available.
Step 4. Write some kind of script for your first video
You don't have to stick to it, but it will help you keep in mind the fundamentals to explain as you record. Also, memorize it so you don't have to read too much as you speak.
Step 5. Record in the suitable environment
Adjust the lighting and background. Some do not use the background in their videos, while others place colored panels behind them, so as not to distract attention from themselves.
Step 6. Dress right
No one will stand by and watch you if you dress in pierced tank tops and sweaty shirts.
Step 7. Register
If you are using bulky and / or complicated equipment, you may want to ask a friend for a hand. Also, take more and more shots and then choose the best one.
Step 8. Manage the material you have recorded with a video manipulation program
While using these programs is not mandatory, they will help you add a touch of class to your vlog. Add titles, credits, music and special effects to your video. You can use very simple software like Windows Movie Maker or Moon Valley Soft Video Blog Pack. If you have a Mac, iMovie is a great program for learning how to do video editing and is included directly on newer Mac computers, so it's easy to find. When you're ready to take the real leap and become a pro vlogger, invest in programs like Final Cut Pro.
