5 Tips For Filming Travel Videos
Over the course of the last year, Ive been super blessed to have travelled with a camera in my hand. Using it ,as my catalyst for conversation and interaction, has enabled me to see things that I would never have imagined. Here are a few tips on helping you make your beautiful travel videos to share with the world.
TIP 1 - Equipment
Travel light and try to carry only 2-3 lens maximum. I travel with a fixed focal length lens (35mm f1.4) and a wide angle lens (16-35mm) .
TIP 2 - Travel With Somebody/Film a subject
This will enable the viewer to have a clear idea of what they are looking at in the frame ! It also allows for you to move around them, creating motion (motion creates emotion).
TIP 3 - Film A Scene
This will allow for more of a story to be told ! Ensure that you shoot multiple shots of the same scene to provide different angles. These angles will help build a better picture of what is going on therefore allowing for more immersion into the video.
TIP 4 - Composition
Framing your subject in the centre is always a safe bet, but you can play with where the subject is in the frame ! One thing I do is, take a wide shot, a medium shot and a close up. That way I have a variety of shots to use in post. It’s also important to film short snippets of video and think about the shot you want before going ahead and hitting that record button ! It will save a tonne of time in the post editing process also !
TIP 5 - Lighting
Hit locations at sunrise or sunset for the best light ! It makes such a difference to your footage ! A place can seem so dull during midday, but when the sun sets and the sky is on fire, I can assure you that the dynamic of the place will change !
