Cinematic Vlogging Masterclass: Make YouTube Videos Feel Like Films

Vlogging isn’t about having the best camera anymore. Viewers have already seen the “perfect” drone shots and slow-motion edits. What makes a vlog memorable is story + structure + you on camera—and that’s exactly what you’ll learn in this masterclass.

In this class, I’ll walk you through a step-by-step cinematic vlogging system: how to plan a video with a clear theme, capture clean audio, film cinematic shots (even in simple locations), and put it all together in a way that keeps people watching. Whether you’re filming on a phone, a point-and-shoot, or a mirrorless camera, you’ll leave with a repeatable workflow you can use for every vlog.

In this masterclass, you’ll learn how to:

Pick the right vlogging setup for your budget (smartphone, action cam, point-and-shoot, mirrorless)
Record good audio so your videos instantly feel more professional
Build a vlog around a theme (so it doesn’t feel random)
Create a strong hook + intro that improves retention
Pre-plan with simple chapters + shot lists (so filming is easier and faster)
Film better B-roll to “show, not tell” and make edits smoother
Hold the camera correctly + choose the right wide-angle lens for cinematic handheld shots
Use cinematic techniques like foreground layers, depth, compression, and movement
Talk to camera confidently (eye contact, energy, fewer filler words, filming in public)

Who this class is for

Anyone starting a YouTube vlog and wanting a cinematic style
Travel vloggers who want their videos to feel more like short films
Creators who want a clear structure for filming and storytelling
Videographers using YouTube to showcase skills and attract clients

By the end of this class, you won’t just “vlog”—you’ll have a system to make YouTube videos that feel like films.

Who am I?

My name is Adi, and I am a videographer based in the Netherlands. Since I got my first camera back in 2015 to capture my travels, I am hooked on videography! Every day I learned something new and eventually, I started my own video production company and YouTube channel! I learned all the ins and outs of videography online or by self-teaching, and I would love to share my knowledge with all of you!
