I remember sitting around a table with Beth and Josh talking about whether or not we should do a Blog. In the end I decided to go for it. Why? I'm narcissistic maybe, but I went for it... 

So here are some top tips from me now we're the other side of our first series...

1. Connect: especially with customers.

2. Grow your tribe: You are always aiming for a wider audience.

3. Consequence of the vlog

  • Kids watch it- document of Dad's life
  • Thinking about life in terms of a story- what's the beginning middle and end
  Favourite episode - 8   Lessons:   Technical aspect
  1. Hero 5
  2. Audio is important: Rode Mic, kept coming out
  3. Canon eos M6
  4. iPhone 7 plus a 'Sure lightening mic'
  5. Mavic Pro
  6. Use the best you have available
  7. Keep it as still as possible- motion has super shaky.

 

 How much work is involved?

You have to tell things in terms of story:

  • Beginning middle and end- Set up, conflict, resolution
  • Context for your story is important

Different Angles

  • Establish Shot - wide shot
  • Close up shot
  • Hand held shot.
  • Drone - transitional or context - don't just add them for the sake of it.

Can be quite lonely: you have to shoot everything.

  • Editing is as important as the rest: Josh
  • Music
  • Be real.

Learn from other vloggers but don't copy

  • Iterate
  • Don't copy
  • Be authentic
  • Be original
  No regrets- it's good to document and make memories...   Start a vlog, your life is interesting!
