With the dual identities of a star and a college student, Ouyang Nana’s Vlog is very watchable. In fact, the lives of most ordinary people cannot be so two-sided and dramatic. As ordinary people who don’t live like a star, what kind of Vlog can we shoot?
If you are a novice in Vlog creation, you can refer to the most popular themes on Douyin, such as going out, quitting your job to travel, taking care of your children, studying for postgraduate entrance exams, etc.
In the daily life Vlog, there is a Chinese blogger “Zishi Danggui” who lives in Australia. As a Vlog shooter, the most common things she does in Vlog are cooking, eating, going out to buy ingredients, and recording the production process of her daily meals, such as cutting tomatoes, pouring yogurt, and making coffee. The fixed and repetitive “daily life” under her lens can also make the audience watch for 20 to 30 minutes without realizing it.
If you love traveling and often like to go out to play, shooting travel Vlogs is a good choice, holding the camera and talking while traveling. What you see is also new to you, and it is relatively easy to start. Whether you can record the beautiful moments during the journey requires the use of pictures, music, language and words to express them, which is also a test for the photographer.
In fact, recording your real life requires the courage to face reality for most people. The real life and attitude of the photographer are also important reasons why the audience likes it. “Zhu Zi”, a photography blogger who is loved by many creators because of “truth and attitude”, once took a challenge in 2017 – posting 31 consecutive Vlogs. The content of these 31 days of Vlogs includes her working abroad, celebrating her father’s birthday, filming her mother riding a shared bicycle, and the sweet or quarreling moments with her boyfriend. Compared with a specific thing, “Zhu Zi” expresses her emotions and her views on things the most in Vlog. She does not deliberately avoid negative emotions. When she heard her boyfriend coming home, she was so excited that she danced with joy. When she was about to separate for a month, she was sad and cried. “Zhu Zi” recorded her emotional changes in a day and a period of time.
The life attitude that is constantly recorded gradually constitutes “Zhu Zi”. She is confident and cheerful, but also emotional. Love is full of romance, and at the same time has a strong self. Putting aside the amount of information provided by Vlog, “Bamboo” seems to have become a friend that the audience has known in life. The premise for people to feel real and accept it is that her video shots are smooth enough and she can express herself freely in front of the camera.
Vlog has not really become popular on Douyin, and the audience group is relatively young, but it is precisely because the audience group is young that they have a high acceptance of video content. As long as the content is interesting, it can gain an audience, and more and more people will imitate it, record their lives through self-narration, and bravely show themselves.
Many people do not use professional photographic equipment when shooting VIog. A high-definition pixel mobile phone, plus a selfie stick, keep the hand steady to keep the picture stable, simply change the scene, and add post-dubbing, you can produce a wonderful VIog. Therefore, the author dares to conclude that with the advent of the 5G era and the convenience of shooting equipment, VIog will become the mainstream of short videos in the future. Are you ready to meet this challenge in advance?
