Came in knowing nothing about pacing a travel edit and left with a real workflow. The bits on framing wide establishing shots and capturing ambient sound made my footage feel so much more cinematic. Storytelling structure was the highlight for me. I do wish the editing chapter spent more time on transitions, but it covered the essentials well. My last vlog from Lisbon actually looked like a short film.

ट्रैवल फुटेज को सिनेमैटिक बनाने के लिए शॉट प्लानिंग और बी-रोल वाली बातें बहुत काम आईं। स्टोरीटेलिंग का हिस्सा सबसे अच्छा लगा, क्योंकि अब मैं सोच-समझकर शूट करता हूँ। एडिटिंग वाले सेक्शन में कलर ग्रेडिंग पर थोड़ा और विस्तार चाहता था। फिर भी पहली बार बनाई गई मेरी वीडियो किसी छोटी डॉक्यूमेंट्री जैसी लगी। नए ट्रैवल व्लॉगर के लिए सही शुरुआत है।

Por fin mis vídeos de viaje parecen una peli y no un montón de clips sueltos. Lo de planificar las tomas y el montaje rítmico me cambió todo, ahora cuento una historia de verdad.
