Travel Videography: Creating Timeless Movies from your Trips

1. Introductory Video: So I want you to imagine this. You've booked vacation to the beautiful island of Santorini, Greece. And once you arrive there, needed to be exposed to the beautiful scenery. The standard sets the food, the beautiful people. It is a paradise on earth and you're thinking to yourself, I don't want to leave this place. This place is heaven on Earth. So what is the next logical thing to do? Grab your phone and you start to capture most of your time there, you take videos of everything. And this, ladies and gentlemen is where the real problem comes. Your phone and this is a conscious feeling to capture everything absorbs you. It prevents you from living the moment and you're always feeling this subconscious need to capture every single aspect of the three because this is just heaven on earth. If what I just described sound somewhat familiar, you are in the correct place. I decided to make this course because this was a problem that I had. And the weirdest thing with this problem is that you don't actually realize that something's going wrong. You have accepted the fact that part of your time and I actually substantial amount of your time while newer vacation will be devoted into capturing aspects with your phone that will be shared on social media. Well, the result is the fact that you don't end up leaving 100% of your vacations. Your videos look like generic social media videos. They are not properly stored and numbered in a visitor that your phone is always out of battery and storage. And to sum things up, you just end up living a virtual vacation. Now again, this is a problem that most people don't even realize that exists. It is pretty similar to the, in the aquarium scenario in which the fish has never left the aquarium to witness how real life is. But in this course right here, I will release you from your aquarium. And with a systematic approach, we're gonna be tackling every single one of the problems that I mentioned, which will leave you to enjoying 100% of your vacation. And by the end of it, have beautiful and timeless movies from your trip, rather than just 2000 different photographs and different videos from parts of the tube. We're going to start this course by deciding which is the perfect camera for you, which will be achieved with a personalized algorithm that I will present to you in the first lesson of this course. Next, we'll discuss in some basic videography principles which you need to know to be able to capture a wide variety of salts and create engaging movies from your applications. Next, we're taking a step back from suiting or discussing some theoretical aspects on how to save more time, battery, and storage while you're on vacation. Next, I'm going to show you the best way to store files in a systematic approach in storing files on your hard drive, which will completely change your life. And finally, we're ending this course with a complete tutorial in which I'm gonna show you how I grade timeless movies from our trips. Don't worry, you don't need any editing knowledge or any fancy editing software to achieve what we're gonna do in this course. This is very easy made for beginners, just like you just want to make the most out of their vacation. So thank you very much for sticking up. Leaving this video, make sure you click on the next video and join me in this journey again to make the most out of our brushes time on negation. 2. The Problem: So hi everybody. Congratulations for clicking on the first video of this course. I'm very happy to have you here again, my name is Lombroso, and this is gonna be a transformative course for you. I am very, very excited because this is really groundbreaking. The stuff that we're going to be analyzing in this course is groundbreaking. I haven't seen it being taught anywhere else on the Internet. And again, the fact that I have decided to make this course because these are problems that are good in my life, in my vacations. So let's take things from the beginning. I want you to imagine this. I want you to imagine that It's a normal day. And you wake up and you go to your car, you entered the car, you drive, there's traffic and you get to your office. Maybe you're the boss just like Michael from the office here. This happens day after day after day. You get excited but you're happy that you're working in your productive and you're making money. And your life is pretty much rolling at a steady pace. Of course, our boards. Okay, so one day as you're working, you decide, Hey, you know, I've worked a lot and I have saved some days from my day off. So I need I want to go to vacation somewhere. I want to experience new experiences. I want to go out with my boyfriend or my girlfriend. I want to go out with my friends. I want to live in you experienced with the people that I love. And I want to do this in a tropical place, e.g. I want to go to Hawaii, I want to go to Greece, I want to go note the Maldives. You get the point. So you sit there and just like this guy, and you daydream, you daydream and you daydream distinct nations to go with your loved ones. And you actually brainstorm to go to Santorini, which this beautiful island in Greece. And it's one of the best destinations in the world. Because you are Dewar and not just a dreamer or a thinker. You've thought of joining this course and actually joined this course. So will this makes your door because you are Dewar. Next thing you know, he grabbed the plane, you book an airplane ticket, go into the plane and boom, you're with your backpack and your hat in Santorini, in this beautiful, again destination in Greece. And this is very, very exciting. Once you go there, you book your Ruby. And this is what you see. You go see the churches, the traditional mountains, the C's, the romantic sunsets. It is literally paradise on Earth. You see those small boat, as you can see right here, the mountains. I haven't been in some dreamy. I'm from Greece though, and I know that this is how the place look. It's, it's literally insane. Everything is painted in this characteristic white. So you really see this place and you're like, Hey, you know, I just want to let that soak in. I want this feeling to stay alive forever. I don't want to leave this place. And you might not want to live this place, but the fact is that you've gotta get back to your job. So the next thing that you do is you try to capture as much as you can from your vacation. You get your phone out and every single thing you see, you just photograph photograph the food, the cats, the people, the sunset, the church, the season. When talking about photos, were talking about videos. You want to capture as much as you can on top of that, when you earned your office and you weren't your laptop, you obviously open social media and you saw that many of your friends were on vacation and they shared their amazing experiences. And some of your friends went to Australia and other friends who went to Euro USA, skiing, hiking, all that stuff. And you were, you were subconsciously kind of jealous. You wanted the same feeling. So when you're in Santorini, you start capturing everything and you're thinking, this can be good for Instagram. It's going be a Facebook post. This I could post on TikTok, the second posterior, the second post there. And I think that, you know where this is going. This is the reason that I decided to dedicate a complete lesson, the first lesson of the scores to the problem. Because in this lesson right here, we're going to highlight the problem. And of course to find a solution, to figure out the solution, we're going to first identify the problem. And this right here, ladies and gentlemen, is the problem. The problem is that you have no idea when it comes to video and photography, videography and photography, you have absolutely no idea. I mean, yes, your phone takes great pictures and your phone takes great photographs. But other than that, you have no idea about composition principles, lighting principles, shooting smooth movements, different camera movements. And obviously you're not called to denote that stuff, right? But subconsciously, when you're in Santorini, you are a full-time filmmaker, pretty much your full-time filmmaker when you're on vacation. The thing is that when you're on vacation, you want to remember that feeling when you arrive in Santorini that you wanted to. So can you didn't want that view that you had to die. You want to keep this view yourself to view it for life. The thing is that when we're trying to please our audience on Instagram, our audience on Facebook and audience on YouTube and audience or Snapchat or TikTok when we're trying from one, well, we're on vacation when we're trying to please people on all of those different social media platforms that require all sorts of different social media content, you need follows to remember that trip for yourself. Aren't you going to take photographs to remember the drip? It probably are. Aren't you going to take photographs to share on Instagram? Okay. So these are different photographs. Different photographs you've take to keep for yourself in your camera roll and different photographs you take the share on Instagram. Then you need videos to certain Instagram, you see something could be like, hey, this would be cool for Instagram. Let's shoot it. You need theories for TikTok, and you need photos and videos to share on Facebook. Perhaps you're a YouTuber and you need longer YouTube video, so you start shooting for YouTube, then you need more, you know, not that professional videos to keep for yourself or somebody else to send to relatives. You're not going to send the same video to a relative that you're gonna upload on YouTube. And all of this creates a massive amount of brain fog. And you end up not having fun. You don't enjoy your vacation or prevents you have fun, but you don't have the maximum amount of fun because there's all, there's always this voice, this internal voice and say, hey, you should be recording this, Hey, you should be sharing this. And this is very, very stressful. And I have some even more bad news for you. But again, I don't want this video to be depressing and stuff, but I'm just highlighting the problem here and most of the people wonderful vacation. We don't understand that this problem exists, but this problem just me, it is very, very real. The things that the problem that I described until this point, it is just the tip of the iceberg. This is just the tip of the iceberg. In fact, there are five big problems for the system. This system of you going into vacation and being a full-time filmmaker while having absolutely no idea about videography and photography, about video editing, is just the tip of the iceberg. There are five problems that arise from this then. So in this lesson, we're going to analyze those five problems. I'm going to point out those five problems. And in this course, I have five different lessons that are made and constructed to help you solve those five problems. So let's start with the first problem. The first problem is that you shoot all of your videos while your vacation from social media apps. This means that you grab your phone and you open Instagram and you can start shooting from the Instagram app or yogurt, Snapchatting and starts sending snaps and saving videos from snaps at your camera roll then sending streaks than UDP source, you just shoot them from the YouTube app. Same thing from TikTok. It's just a mess. This problem has of course, sub problems. The first problem, I don't know if you know that or have you noticed that, but it is associated with a very decreased image quality. Shooting directly from a social media application decreases the image quality and the video quality, the video that is produced. And you might think, okay, look, I'm not a professional like you. I don't know how I can figure it out. And again, distinguish the difference between a fork, a video, and a full HD video. Well, the thing is that how many times will you go in Santorini? How many times will you travel from the USA to Santorini or from Europe to Santorini in your life, 234. Each time that you got Santorini, it's going to be a very unique experience. And let's be honest, you're probably not gonna go that many times again, back in your lifetime. Why would you choose to shoot and how videos with a decreased quality when you can have the 100% of video quality. So this is the first problem we'll shooting from social media apps. The second problem is that most of the videos that you should either directly sent to friends or your blood them in your stories and you don't save them in your camera roll. And get that even if you save the videos in your camera roll. Okay, so even if you shoot a video from Instagram and then hit Save, It's good. It gets saved in your camera roll. There is absolutely no file sorting in your phone's camera roll. And I'm going to prove this to you right now. So let's assume that you have been on vacation previously in your life. I want you to try to find a specific photograph that you have in mind and you remember from the last vacation that you went. So e.g. if you went vacation in Africa and even remembering great photograph that you took in that drip. I want you to go ahead and find that photograph. What would you do? Well, I assume that you would take your phone, you go to the photo gallery and then you will scroll up until you find your trip to Africa. From the digital Africa, you would stop in and say, Hey, I remember this photograph. I think it was on the fifth day of my trip, so it would be a bit down and then you would find some videos from that day. You can find the photograph. And then after five or 6 min, you would find that photograph. This is fundamentally wrong. This is fundamentally wrong. The fact that you have to scroll through your phone, through all of those apps just to find one photograph. Then I'm very excited and we're going to analyze this in the next lesson. But I'm very excited because in this course right here I'm going to present to you the absolute best file sorting system that I use. I have been used since 2015. So from 2015, which I recorded my first video with the first camera that I bought up until 2022, I immediately in seconds, can locate every single photo and every single video that I've taken. I know exactly where to find it. I know this sounds like completely alien stuff, but trust me, it is possible and we're going to organize your hard drive and your storage in a way in which you will be able to find immediately any video that you've ever sought. Again, this sounds too good to be true, but trust me, it isn't. It's happening and there is a way, and this is the way that filmmakers. Learned the hard way followed because again, we have accumulated a huge amount of video, the huge amounts for photographs, which we need to sort out some way. And this is a problem that normal people that are not filmmakers and videographers, photographers are never, never really called to solve because it isn't the problem that has symptoms. The symptoms is that you lose time. But the real symptoms here, it is an asymptomatic, if you will, problem. But the real symptoms is that at the end of the day, you get lost, your memories get lost. And again, how many times will it be incendiary me? Not that many times. So you want your memories from Santorini to be clear, to be categorized and to be easily accessible. The final problem, problem number one, you're shooting from social media apps is that videos that come from social media apps or not that memorable. And this leads to problem number two, which is that you have no variety of salts. Why? Because we think and shoot based on social media. And this is the product of a modern way of thinking because we think based on social media and this is again, fundamentally wrong. Imagine this. What do you want to capture from your time in Santorini? What do you really want to capture? You don't want to capture this generic photograph of Santorini. N1 captured this generic photograph. All of you in Santorini. You want to capture what actually Dr. your attention which captures your attention there, some silly stuff, the fun stuff. You don't want this, you want to capture this model, but you're not even a model. You don't want to capture this model victory of units, and this is what you want your friends to see. But we leave this world in this life. We live for ourselves and we live this life to capture memories, to remember of our time. There were not models, and this is what Instagram wants you to suit. Instagram wants you to gold Santorini. Take this picture which will look like a model, and then take this picture and upload it like, I don't know, a folded dump on Instagram. But in fact, if you type Santorini view, you will find the exact same picture in the Internet. So is it really worth going sunday mean, spending time being on your phone? Like actually taking time to focus out of Santorini and focus on your phone and focus on all of the friends that you have on social media. Just to capture this picture is, I don't think that it's worth it, in my opinion, it's not worth it. So again, in this transformative course, we will stop thinking based on social media, will start thinking based on what we want to remember for our trip. And we will start thinking on creating again timeless videos of our journeys and timeless videos that will stand the test of time. Because guess what? This picture of you, looking like a model in front of Santorini will not stand the test of time. And it's very easy to prove. Wide won't stand the test of time. It won't stop, stand the test of time because it doesn't have personality. It doesn't have personality. It's just you acting like a model. This doesn't have character, this doesn't have personality. And when you combine vacations with personality and great footage due to the fact that you know about videography, you know about photography, you know some compensation principles, you know, some basic lighting principles. This is how you create those timeless movies that we will learn how to create by the end of this lesson to again, have the best results. And I'm very passionate for this because these are mistakes that I've also done. Again, this was a transformative process that I have been through, through again many years. And I'm just very excited for you to be here and be part of the scores. Point. Number three, problem. Number three, it's fact that you end up missing on real-life. And I want you to take a moment and look at this concert. So this is a concert of $0.50, one of the most legendary wrappers. And all of those people, they're probably never going to see 50 cent. They're probably never going to go into a few descent concert again. And the thing is that even if they go, probably one or two per cent will go again. We've all been to a concert. We've all seen a celebrity and most of us won't see that celebrity again. Take a look at this photograph again. Everyone is behind his phone. And when the thing, when you're watching something for the first time and it's very embracing, very impressive. The first thing that you wanna do is just make this memory immortal by capturing a video of it. But what happens when you pull your phone out? You just subtract. You subtract from the experience while you're there. The experience you don't live 100% of the experience who live like 70, 80 per cent of the experience. And the thing is that okay, you sacrifice 20 per cent because you want again to capture timeless videos of your moments there. But the videos that you end up capturing aren't even for you. Therefore, people do watch them on social media and this is fundamentally wrong. So with the scores, with the tools I'm going to provide you in this course and this transformative information that I'm going to give you in this course, which again, I have captured and I have accumulated through years of having this problem. You won't up, you won't end up missing. On real life. You will live 100% of your vacation while also capturing them. In addition to that, on top of that, you will live 110 per cent of your vacation because you believe you will be passionate to capture it in a correct way and in the correct natural and normal way to capture a vacation and create diamonds video out of it. Not just like these people in which they will probably see descent once in their lifetime. And they were all behind their phone screens. Because guess what? Guess what? You can watch a 50 cent video from your phone screen on your house, on YouTube. You don't have to show up. Wait 3 h in line, 100 bucks for a ticket to just watch $0.50 behind your phone. You can do this from your home. This is what these people don't understand, and this is what you will understand. And I want you to just from now, this course has started. You have enrolled in this course. I want you from now to be slowly transforming your thoughts from being a person that ends up missing on real-life and sacrificing his time, again to share his time on social media with others to a person that's sacrifices a small amount of his time to create timeless memories of his experiences. Problem number four, and this is the fourth out of five problems. Very, very, very common. Storage, almost full notification, battery, almost dead notification. This is a problem which we have all faced. Let's be honest here. If you have been on many vacations and if you take a lot of photographs and a lot of years with your phone, you will have the storage certification. And obviously your phone will be out of battery because guess what? These are all the functions of your phone while you are on vacation. Your phone is a communications device. Okay. You communicate with the people that you're on vacation with your phone and with your friends that are back in your country. So you pretty much chat, you video call, you phone call, you Stan, SMS. Your phone is a communication device. This is already enough. By the way, this is already like as much as your phone should be doing while you're on vacation. On top of that, you also use your phone as a photo camera and a video camera. Now, you might think to yourself, hey, why did this guy, which is lecturing me for the past 20 min, mentioned that using your phone as a video camera and if follow gamma is a problem. Why did I pay 1,000 bucks for the new iPhone? Because again, I bought it the fact that it had a ultra-wide camera for me to shoot videos and photo. Why is that a problem? Well, this is a problem. This is a problem when you're on vacation because your phone isn't a photo camera and your phone isn't a video camera. We discussed about the file sorting system that this file sorting problem that accumulates if you're using your phone as a photo camera and a video camera. In this course, we together are going to change your perception on how to capture your moments. And trust me, one of the biggest flows of the center is the fact that we're capturing our moments and storing them into our phones. And I'm gonna get back to that. Your phone. In addition to a content consumption device, because we consume content from our phones, we want you to videos. We consume contents on content on Instagram, on Facebook, on TikTok, and Snapchat on be real. We are constantly consuming content of our phone, on our phone from our phones. We are constantly uploading content from our phones and obviously this drains battery right uploading videos on YouTube and on Instagram. I'm not going to mention all the social media apps ever done that. I'm saying this, but you realize that all of these take a huge amount of battery. The huge amount of batteries, the biggest flow, rather than using your phone as a video camera and photo camera, is the fact that we use our phones as content storage devices. This is fundamentally wrong. This is just fundamentally wrong as a filmmaker, this is a huge red flag know filmmaker and no video professional that knows what he's doing with video would ever store. He's photogenic is timeless memories on his phone. And you might think like, okay, this guy is saying me that I shouldn't store my content, my phone, given the fact that if I lose my phone, everything's going to get lost. But I also have Cloud Storage. No. I'm not mentioning I mean, not even mentioning the fact that you can lose your phone and then all of your footage is gone. I'm saying we should never store our videos and our photographs only on our phone. Again, only on our phone due to the fact that they're not easily accessible. Because the reality is that yes, your phone can be used as a communication device. And yes, your phone takes great photographs and yes, your phone can be a content storage device. It can be a quantum community consumption device and then upload device and a map device. But when it comes to content storage, okay. Let me, let me, let me take this from another perspective. Videos that you've sought from Santorini in which you will go once in your lifetime probably. Are priceless. Priceless videos of you, generic videos of you really sharing your experience there. These are priceless videos. You don't want to store them on your phone. You want them to be easily accessible, properly filed, probably numbered. Okay. You want to be able to reach those moments and leave this great sensation and feeling of nostalgia. The tip of your fingers, you don't want to just scroll and scroll and scroll until you find the Melians and photographs and files that you've taken from thundering. You want these to be very, very accessible. So as you can imagine, all of the aspects that we mentioned right here drain a huge amount of battery, okay? And they increase your storage and storage is almost full. We're going to talk about how we're going to solve all the problems that I mentioned in this video, in the next lesson. For now, I'm just mentioning the problems, but trust me, in the next lesson, we're going to outline the course outline, okay, how are we going to solve this problems? And then we're gonna move into solving them. Actually. Problem number five is that you end up living a virtual vacation, okay? You end up sacrificing the majority of your time on vacation again to please and satisfy others. And this is fundamentally wrong. Now you might be thinking, No, I don't end up living able to location. I'm there and I had a great time. Well, it's like the fish in the aquarium affect you think that you're having a great time? Well, you could be having a 50% greater time. Trust me, I have this problem. I didn't know that I had this problem and then I solved this problem. And now I can't believe that I even went on vacation with this strategy that you probably have if you're watching a movie it up until this point in the video, on vacation, you end up living a ritual vacation. You end up living a ritual vacation. You end up being on your phone. So pretty much you end up living a virtual vacation again because you're trying to please your virtual friends. And this might sound weird, but if you think about it, they're virtual friends. From your 1,000 followers on Instagram. How many of them have you seen the past week? 50, 20. I don't know. Most of them are visual. And when I made this realization, this changed a lot of my perspective. But stop trying to please Virtual people. And if you're having this concern on your head, the videos that we will create, the movies that we will create, moods will be complete and life-changing movies and your vacation are gonna be seen from another perspective, years from now when you relieve those moments. Because again, creating memories is one of the most powerful thing a man and people in general can do. So when we, when we create those movies, those timeless movies, you will be able to grab parts of them and upload them on Instagram if you wish as you shoot. Okay. I'm not saying that it is wrong, setting your life on the internet. Okay. Obviously, it's kind of what I do, but I'm just saying that you should prioritize some stuff. You should prioritize some things. And when you're on vacation, you should prioritize creating memories for yourself first. And again with this method and this system are going to analyze in this course, you will be able to extract parts from those movies and actually share with your friends, with your loved ones, with your relatives on Instagram and on any social media app that you wish. So ladies and gentlemen, This was the fifth problem, okay? And in general, this was the problems. This were the problems. If you think that you pretty much are the person that I described this 30-minute video. Then this discourse is tailored for you and you're getting, just get a huge amount of transformative knowledge from the scores. And I'm very happy that this actually fits your standards and discourse. Actually, I described your problem here because I have the perfect solution for you. And this is what we're going to be analyzing in the next hours in this course. So thank you very much. And in the next lesson, let's go ahead and outline how we're going to proceed in creating this systematic approach to solve those five problems that were analyzed in this lesson. So see you in the next lesson. 3. The Solution: So enough with again, arguing and crying about the problems. This is why you enrolled in this course. This is the name of the game. It is time to solve the problem. And more specifically, it is time to solve the problems that we mentioned in the previous lesson. How are we gonna do this beautiful desk you're going to learn in this course? But fast answer is that we're going to create a system. We're going to be the system of shooting, sorting, editing, and creating beautiful and timeless movies of your trips. Deconstructing the system. If you would reverse engineered the system. It's very interesting because these are all basic stuff and stuff that any beginner can achieve. But the results of just the compounding effect of all of this stuff is going to learn in this course, in this system that we're going to put together are going to be absolutely breathtaking. First of all, you're going to become a better videographer and better photographer. And now you might argue, Hey, I'm not a videographer and I'm not a photographer. I don't want to become better. Know. You will become better at taking videos and taking photographs. Because today's society and today's world is structured around video, information flows with video. Photographs have been and will be a huge part of our lives. You are called as a citizen of the 21st century to be good and have some basic knowledge when it comes to videos. If you want to dive deeper into again, knowledge of videos, I have separate courses on my channel right here on Skillshare. But the result of this course is that you will be substantially better at photography and videography than you right. Now. In addition to that, did the fact that in part of the scores, in the first part of this course, we will discuss about some basic videography principles. You will be able to capture a bigger and wider variety of shots. This is very important because we will be creating movies, but by the end of the scores, and movies need to be engaging and engaging. Movies have a wide variety of shots. Salts that won't be hard for you to capture again, because we will discuss some basic videography principles in this course. Then again, information is free. You can go ahead and watch the other of my courses and just search online if you want, if you don't want to, about more information on videography, it's one of the most important hobbies to have in 2022. Now, next, the most important point in my opinion for those pointer here is that you won't miss on real life. You won't miss out on real life. You will be capturing, you won't be capturing videos and photographs as you are on vacation. But this doesn't mean that you won't be living 100% of your life. And as I mentioned in the previous lesson, you will be leaving 110 per cent of your life. You are called to be there. You're cool to live in the moment when you have a camera that you've paid for in your pocket and you try to figure out what it's worth shooting, what is worth not shooting? You are called to live the moment if you experience your vacation this way, this is why you want masonry life. More details on that, on the next lessons. Another result of the system and we will grade is the fact that battery and storage will be virtually infinite. I know this might sound too good to be true, but trust me, there are ways to make battery and storage virtually infinite. And guess what? Now, they are not infinite. Your phone doesn't have infinite storage. Your phone doesn't have infinite battery. Okay? To save you some time, we will be, we will start to detach some aspects from your phone. Because again, the bigger picture, the bigger problem that we have, the problem would lead you to enroll in this course right here is actually a symptom of the fact that you're using your phone for too much stuff on your vacation. So part of the solution of a problem and actually the name of the game here and the solution to the problem is to start detaching and subtracting some certain aspects from your phone. Okay? We will subtract the aspect of storage from your phone. We will stop storing footage on your phone battery, of course. Okay. We can't really the data form for mattered because this would be virtually impossible. But we will do that storage and more information about that on the dedicated lesson that we have in again, having the most battery and most storage at all times when your vacation on your phone. Finally, you will obviously create timeless memories of your favorite times with your favorite people. And this will be done due to the movies that we will create. And these are gonna be movies. If you check the course curriculum, you can see that the final lesson is going to be an editing lesson. And in this editing lesson we'll be discussing some basic editing principles which will, which will help you again create movies from all the clips that we will capture and short in our beautiful system. This is a system, this is a systematic approach to the problem, and this is how problems are gold to be solved. Now these were pretty general solutions. Again, in the previous lesson, we discussed about five different problems. So let's actually dig deeper into how we're going to solve each one of the problems. So the solution of problem number one is this one right here. The problem with the way it was the fact that you shoot videos from social media applications. How are we gonna solve this problem? Very easily? I'm going to introduce you to the next lesson, two different cameras to what a camera is towards camera. Two by two different types of cameras to the different prices of cameras to the most value for money cameras. And I'm gonna introduce you to a personalized way to figure out which is the best value for money camera for you. Now, if you haven't been following this course at this point, I pretty much know exactly the type of person that you are in the problems that you have? Not exactly, but it's pretty similar if you're having the problems that we've discussed up until this point, then I have a very clear understanding of which camera to use. And I'm not going to just hit you with a very random, you need a waterproof camera or you need a big camera or a small camera. I'm going to suggest you a very specific type of camera, a very specific model of this camera, in my opinion, has the best value for money prize because I have really, really done my research in the field of videography, in the field of gear when it comes to videography. So I'm going to suggest you to the most value for money camera again in the next lesson. So let's give this in the next lesson. Again, each solution of each problem is gonna be dedicated lesson in this course. So obviously, yes, we are going to talk about the most value for money cameras on again, if you don t want wondering like the camera that I'm going to suggest to you, then I'm going to just use most valuable money camera in each camera category, then analyze. So we're going to just analyze and compare very much pocket cameras with bigger cameras, video cameras, DSLR cameras, mirrorless cameras. Pocket cameras are very much action cameras. So more details on that on the next lesson. In each camera category who are discussing the pros and the cons. Because I don't just want you to blindly trust me and be like, Okay, I'm gonna buy this camera because this guy seems like he knows what he's doing. No. I want you to know about the pros and cons. I want you to know about the differences between pocket cameras and bigger cameras. I want you to know the different prices and then I want you to conclude again, which camera you will buy. And yes, this course involves you buying a camera, but don't be overwhelmed, because again, there are huge price ranges and you can find a very cheap camera. Obviously, you don't need a camera to follow along in this course, you can gain the information. We're just gonna be very, very valuable without having a camera. But again, to complete and have 100% of the course and next time you go on vacation to apply what we will learn in those lessons, you're going to need a camera. Yes. So pretty much to solve. Problem number one, you're going to buy a camera. And in the next lesson, which we're going to analyze which camera is right. There's gonna be a personalized the list on the perfect gear for you, especially. Now, let's move to solving problem number two, problem to do with the fact that we don't, you don't have a variety of salts because you're thinking of social media as you shoot videos and photographs. So this is going to be, again eight. This is going to mean a substantial effort of you to stop thinking of social media while we shoot video. You need to stop thinking about Instagram, TikTok or YouTube, snapchat, Twitter, Facebook while shooting video. So how are we gonna solve this? We will take a step back and view the basics. I will introduce you to some essential videography principles. And again, to have a dedicated course on smartphone videography and very basic, more in-depth videography principles. But I'm going to introduce you to some basic videography principles that you just need to know, again to tackle this project and this trip that you signed up for. So we're going to introduce some videography principles, principles of composition. The different seven different principles of composition, principles of lighting. All of those staff are very, very essential. We will go through some soothing techniques to provide you with the most smooth and cinematic and breathtaking footage while you're out there, composition and lighting principles. And this is a rule that we learned. I've learned pretty much in medical school. The fact that with 20% of effort, you can have 80 per cent of the results. So this is exactly the rule that we can apply in the second lesson of this course, which again, were discussing about some basic principles with 20% of effort to learn geography principles, we're going to massive together 80% of the available knowledge. So this is pretty good. Again, this is not even know graphic course. This is a course on how to make the most out of your vacation. So I think this is a very fair deal and fair price. Let's move to solving problem number three, the fact that you end up missing on real life. This one is a hard one. This is a hard one salt. So I have I'm not giving you any secrets from you. I had a very, very hard time solving problem number three. This is pretty much a normal thing. When we have our minds to our cameras and not to the certain moment we end up missing on real life. This is how this happens. But every filmmaker that being said, there are ways, as I mentioned here, to cycle around this problem. This is not a problem that is being sold exactly. This is a problem in which we need to cycle around. Now, one thing is for sure the fact that I have this problem and the fact that I haven't solved this exactly, but I am very close of living 100% of my time when I'm on vacation. So I will show you some tips that I have accumulated through my years in the course of videography and being a filmmaker and being a videographer and going on vacation and capturing my vacation in creating those movies, I will share to use some golden key tips, which will help you actually not leave 100% of your life. Because again, to live 100% and 110 per cent that we discussed in the previous lesson, you need to be passionate with videography, passionately photography enthusiasts, but we will get the best result for you. Personalized, again. To solve problem number three. But a big, big point that I have to make here in problem number three, which is the fact that you end up missing on your life, is the fact that your phone your phone is the number one reason why you end up missing on real life, the phone absorbs you, the phone distracts you, and we shouldn't be using our phones that much when we're on vacation. So we're gonna be detaching the carer aspect from our phone. We discuss this up on the problem lesson, but we are gonna be detaching completely the camera aspect from our phone. We're going to buy a camera. I'm going to use this camera. We're going to stop using our phones camera. You know, maybe you're like, Hey, you know what? No. I want to be viewing footage from my phone. You will do this. You will use your phone as a content consumption device. You won't use your phone as a content creation device, and you won't use your phone as a content storage device. That being said, obviously you will use your phone as you conduct consumption device. Your phone has a screen and it will be used to consume content, just not to shoot and not to store. Let's move to the solution of the problem number four, which is the fact that your storage is always full and your battery is always empty. And as we said, the solution is very simple. We will sort each one of those tasks to the appropriate device. Lets it go into vacation with just your phone. It's like going to war with just a stick. You won't last long. Something will fail you either your storage we will either your battery will be low in more depth. I'm going to have a complete lesson on that and we're going to detach from the phone. We're gonna discuss about Cloud storage. We will discuss about external storage when it's just discuss about how the short files in either Cloud Storage or external storage in a perfect and an optimal in a systematic way in which again, you will be able to immediately locate any file you wish. Because again, you just can't use your phone for shooting and file storage and play it back and communications and maps, it will fail you. The stick that you decided to go to war with will fail. So this is why after we discuss about the best camera to buy, we will discuss about storage and discuss about battery and have a separate lesson on how to live the moment and stop being so absorbed in your phone. The final problem that we call the salt is the fact that you end up living a virtual vacation. I think that I've highlighted by now the importance of elevating again each task to the device. Now let's see what this will give you. You will have more free time. You will have more free space on your phone, which means that your phone will be faster and you will have more time and more computing power to do things that really matter with your phone, e.g. communicating with other people, use it for maps. Communicating and using your phone for moms will lead to more enjoyable locations. Because we've all been there. We take our cameras, we should videos. The phone becomes overheated, the battery is drained, the storage is full, your phone becomes stove, you become stressed. Why be stressed in Santorini? In addition to that, by detaching the camera aspects from the phone and learning some basic videography principles, we will capture better videos. And again, the result is going to be those amazing, timeless memories that we will create at the end of this course. So this was a brief introduction on the curriculum of the scores. I hope that you're as excited as I am because this is going to be very transformative and very helpful. Now let's move to the next lesson in which we're gonna dive again immediately into solving problems. The first problem, we're going to solve this problem number one, which is the fact that you need to detach the camera from your phone. So in the next lesson, this is the very highly indivisible lesson in which we're going to analyze the different categories of cameras. And I'm going to suggest you the one and only in the best camera to use while you're on vacation. So see you in the next lesson. 4. The Class Project: So thank you very much for clean. On this video, I actually decided to start this journey with me and this is gonna be an absolutely transformative process, 100%, trust me. Now, in the next lessons we will discuss about the problem, okay? Pretty much actually the symptoms that the main problem has created when it comes to your vacations and shooting again and capturing your vacations. Then we're gonna discuss how we're going to solve this problem. And then we're gonna move into different solutions for now in this lesson right here and this small video right here, we're going to discuss about the class project that you are called to complete by the end of the scores, the outcome of the scores, the class project, pretty much gold to complete is the creation of a movie from clips that you have from a previous vacation or from a future vacation. So let's say that you've been on a trip and you have, have accumulated some footage. I want you to grab that footage, import them into video editing software. And based on the editing principles that we'll discuss at the end of this course. I want you to just construct a movie, a timeless movie. Again, don't stress about this. We'll go through all of the different steps on how to do that. The optimal class project for you to produce. And the one that will be most appreciated is actually after we've gone through again, this systematic approach of the problem that has been arrived and you're called to create, to solve. I want you to follow the basic videography principles because we are going to discuss about videography principles, composition, lighting. I wanted to follow those basic videography principles. Okay, I want you to follow the key steps and the golden tips that I'm gonna give you in this course. And finally, the basic editing principles to actually create timeless movies in the way we will discuss in this course. So you have two options, again, to complete the class project. The first one is to actually grabbed footage from a previous treatment gone and to edit them down into timeless movie as you will be shown in the final part of this course. And the second class project option you have to achieve and you're called to do is to actually, after you go on vacation and after you have completed this course, just write down some tips from this course and you apply them when you go to vacation. And then you create timeless movies the complete way. So both of those class projects are very much appreciated and very wandered in this course. And again, I'm an instructor in which I love to connect with my students. So in all of the submissions, in all of the costs projects you're going to submit. You can submit them down below in the class project window. I'm going to be going through every single one of your class projects and we're gonna be giving you feedback. So make sure you do that because it's just a great way to connect with me as a course instructor. That being said, I think enough of the words. Let's move to analyzing the problem and the symptoms that the grades in the next lesson. 5. Choosing a Camera: You very much for clicking on this video. Time to move to the first lesson of this course in which we are going to analyze again, as we said in the previous lesson, the camera, everything that you need to know about cameras were going on vacation. Now let's move to the lesson outline. We're going to start with answering some of the questions. Why does shoot with a camera? Because we were talking about detaching again the camera aspect from your phone. But why exactly should we shoot with a camera? All those questions are gonna be answered in this lesson right here. Then we discussed about the different types of cameras that you can use. Mirrorless cameras, action cameras, DSLR cameras. Everything's going to be here. And after that, because I know that you will be overwhelmed from all of the different types of cameras that we're gonna be discussing. We're going to discuss, discussing about the best value for money options in each and every single one of the cameras categories that we're going to be allies. Finally, after I've laid down the facts within best value for money options, it is time to help you decide which camera you should use for your vacations. And I got great news for you. This is not that much of it is a no brainer, pretty much. So let's go. First of all, why the shoot with a camera? Why should I invest to buy a camera when I bought this phone that goes on 1,000 bucks and it has a great camera building. Alright, let's go over the basics. First of all, sitting with a camera and again, detaching the camera from your phone. Having a dedicated device to shoot videos and photographs produces better image quality. And yes, I know that not all cameras actually have better image quality than your phone, but all the cameras we will be discussing in this lesson in this course actually have a better image quality and are capable of shooting in high resolution than your phone. And I were talking about the best phones pretty much. So. Don't stress about that. Trust me, the cameras that I'm going to suggest you have a better image quality than your phone. In addition to that, obviously, the second point is that you save more battery from your phone. Pretty much battery consumption is very tightly associated with how much videos and how much photographs you shoot. So again, by detaching the cameras, but from your phone, you save more battery to have. And this might not sound like a huge point. I mean, okay. Yeah, you save battery, but trust me, battery when you're on vacation, you pretty much know this. It is an essential, very essential element of your phone. You need to have battery because you're doing 1 million different stuff with your phone while you're on vacation. You're sending emails, perhaps you're meeting with your friends, you're discussing stuff through messages, you wanting social media so you don't want to have a decreased variables and it's just because we want to capture every moment. And in fact, you are going to be wanting to capture every single moment. So there is no there is no reason why the low battery percentage of your phone should disabled you from capturing every single moment when you're on vacation. So we're going to save battery, going to have a better image quality. Then a very, very key point when it comes to why we should do with the camera and why we see this detaching and the camera from the phone is a fact that camera footage is very easily manipulable in post-production, e.g. in a video editing software or a photo editing software from your phone or from your PC. Now, when you shoot videos with a camera, footage that come out of it, It's just way more easy to manipulate it in post-production. Can send the footage any soft in post-production editing software and change the exposure, the vibrancy, all of those different aspects will just make your photos and videos look better. And if this sounds complicated and extraordinary, don't think about video, think about photographs. So initially bad photograph with your phone. It is not that easily to actually manipulate it. I mean, you can add some filters and adjust some pretty basic settings from Instagram. But trust me, when we're shooting with a camera and actually have the option to change the videos and chains of photographs, tweak the settings of the photographs more deeply. Computers, this will create the best and optimal results when can do better images, embed videos, other tunes point and why we should use it to with a camera and not from your phone is as we discussed, the fact that you can store footage more easily and why do we go on vacation and why do we take our cameras out and shoot everything? Because we need to store those, put it somewhere to actually really the moment and have those greater feelings of installed year later when we just review the footage. But you need to have a great storage system to do this successfully or else you'll just think that Okay, Yeah, I saw I went to Italy on September, so I should scroll through September from my photo gallery and then from there, just watch some photographs that you like from the millions and millions of photographs that he took and didn't delete. This is fundamentally wrong. This is not the correct way to consume footage by adapting to the system and learning how to implicate the system and apply this in this system in every time that you go on vacation, pretty much acquire footage from a camera. This will just free your hands and it will make it so much more enjoyable to relieve the moment and review the footage that we have created. On top of that, the fact that we will learn how to edit all of the foods in different movies, great movies of your vacations, which is very, very exciting, you're going to have by the end of irrigation. 20th 30-minute movie that you can just press play and watch the whole litigation going on. And you don't have to just scroll through your phone and breads and some photos, review them. It's going to be very exciting. But again, this needs a systematic approach, which we're doing in this course right here. Finally, we found using this formula camera is the fact that you get to live the moment. And I learned this the hard way when I begin, when I started filming my vacations, I was obsessed with video, so I really wanted to film every single again, second one, I was on a different calendar, e.g. enjoying my vacation. So I remember I took on my phone and I just feel that everything I had begun on the vacation, 500 photos and videos, and that I was just so overwhelmed, which guess what I did, I did absolutely nothing with them. I didn't edit them and I just had them sitting there gathering storage on my phone until one day I just switched phones and there were all gone. And this is fundamentally wrong. So this is when I decided to buy my first camera. And you know, one thing that we're a vacation and you see something amazing and you want to capture it when you grab your phone out, you need to open your phone, go to the camera and start shooting, and then this can get saved in the camera roll. But when you have a camera, you just take the camera out, press one button and bang. You should press the button again, put the camera back. This just saves you a lot of time and doesn't doesn't disturb your day. The usage of your phone disturbs your day. So again, this is why we need to shade with the camera and the camera aspect from our phones. Now, what are the different types of cameras? This is really the key of this lesson then this is the part where I want you to pay close attention because this is how we're going to decide which the best camera for you. Those are the four different types of cameras afford different categories of cameras. Obviously, we've got many, many subcategories, but these are the four fundamental categories that I want you to know. And remember. Obviously we have the smart phone, has a camera. We discussed about the smart phone as a camera and we don't want to use a smart phone, has a camera. We have action cameras. Gopro is DJI NO makes action cameras is that many companies make action cameras. These are more compact cameras, again with great image quality grade vehicles, but again, there are more compact, they have smaller sensors, they're easier to use. Then we've got DSLR cameras. These are some of the more professional, if you will, cameras you can tweak a lot of settings with them. They're made from browse. You can change different lenses, you can apply a huge range of lenses. They're telephoto lenses, wide angle lenses. You can tweak again a lot of settings. And these obviously are a bit more expensive than action cameras and pretty much smartphones. Most, most of the cases, I'm sitting right now this course, e.g. they dislike camera, but this is a more professional use. And finally we got mirrorless cameras. Mirrorless cameras, or let's say some more technologically advanced DSLR cameras. You don't have a meter inside this white gold mirrorless cameras, and you're going to just tweak more settings. These are the modern day DSLR cameras. Many professionals shooters shoot with mirrorless cameras rather than the SLR cameras. But again, I want you to remember those four categories of cameras, and more specifically, the last three, action cameras, DSLR cameras and mirrorless cameras. Now, let's move to the next question, which is the best value for money camera option for me. And I've listed the braces of all of those cameras now, these are not specific prices. Of course we get price ranges. You can buy used, you can buy them new. The smartphone is just out of question. I just put it there for reference. Now. But that action cameras that again range from anywhere 100-500 bucks and even more cameras with 600 bucks. Dslr cameras, which again with a lens lenses are also very expensive. So you can have a gate of a DSLR camera with a lens anywhere from 500 bucks to, I mean, sky's the limit with cameras, but you can buy a great wrestler camera with 100, 500 bucks. And then we've got mirrorless cameras because again, they are more technologically advanced, they are a bit more expensive. Dslr cameras are very much, I can sense that, you know, where this is going, which is going to be the best value for money gamma here. But let's go ahead and analyze. It's one of those categories because perhaps you might find that a mirrorless camera, this law camera, or a smartphone, fits your shooting style better. So let's go ahead and analyze with what is all of those cameras, what is the best function of each one of those categories? In very simple terms, as we said, an actual cameras. How good forgive abilities give you the capabilities. And the reason why I say you can forgive abilities and good beater capabilities. I mean, better photographs and better video than the smartphones that we use. The key thing here is not just the fact that the image quality and video quality that these cameras produce are better than the smartphone is the fact that we can tweak the settings to our personal preference. We can personalize these settings on each one of those cameras to a great point, e.g. we can change the e.g. brightness, the exposure, the vibrancy, the saturation of the image. We can change the white balance, and this is not that easily done while shooting with a smartphone. Now the main difference between action cameras, DSLR and mirrorless cameras is the fact that DSLR and mirrorless cameras are usually designed to fit the needs of professional photographers and professional videographers. Doesn't mean that you can buy a DSLR and mirrorless cameras for your vacation. More specifically, this law cameras produce bro photographs. They're very good at capturing photographs. They're not that professionally used from videographers. But still, I'm gonna give you example. I'm shooting this course with a DSLR camera and the video image in the video quality is flawless, does steal the video that is produced with DSLR cameras is better than smartphone video. But the thing here is that they're harder to use. Again, you can tweak more settings. They're not that user-friendly, e.g. like action cameras or smartphones. Mirrorless cameras are great. They have pro for capabilities, Pro video capabilities. But again, as we said, they're designed fit model standards of a professional. But I don't want to discourage you from buying a mirrorless camera or a camera. Those are investments that last because again, you buy one of those cameras and you keep them for years and years. In general, DSLR and mirrorless cameras wants to remember that they have a way bigger lifespan than GoPro cameras. So these are pretty much some very basic facts when it comes to smartphone action cameras, DSLR and mirrorless cameras. Now let's dive even deeper to analyze the subcategories of each one of those cameras categories. And we're going to start with action cameras. Those are the three manufacturers, their characteristics and then the most value for money piece. Every single one of those manufacturers sounds begin when it comes to action cameras without GoPro, which produces action cameras, DJI, the produce section cameras and infantry 60 that I know that also produces action cameras. Now those characteristics are very generalized. Obviously it's one of those manufacturers has different characteristics, but they all have those four characteristics. These characteristics right here. They'll produce full HD video. Obviously, most of them produce more than four K nowadays, their final models produced 5k6k video is absolutely insane. Most of them also have amazing slow motion capabilities. They can slow them video and we're going to increase the frame rate while maintaining an amazing resolution. And we're looking at about slow motion that is way slower than your smartphones, slow motion. So this is a huge blast. In addition to that, they should great photographs. They're not only video cameras. Most people think that action cameras are only designed for video, but they should Greg photographs and they actually have many different modes, e.g. night mode, we have burst mode, high-speed mode. You can tweak again very much the settings while you're using a camera. On top of that, you can sue time lapses with, I think all three of those manufacturers. And they are still relatively easy to use. You don't need to study geography or to be a videographer to do have big amount of homework if you will, use action cameras as main cameras when you're on vacation. So this is a huge plus. Now let's get into the more specifics, which is what is the biggest, the most value for money piece in every one of those three categories. Now, I have a separate course when it comes to GoPro videography for beginners in which I analyze in depth all of the gear, all of the shooting styles, how to shoot and how to add gold, prefer it. And this is, I think one of the most valuable pieces of content that I have produced. But it always comes down if I had to choose one GoPro camera to have for the rest of my life and the most value for money. In fact, GoPro camera, I think that this is going to be the GoPro 07 black. And you can go ahead and Google the GoPro hero Simon blockade is an amazing camera which I think has defined line between a great price. It is, it costs way less than 500 bucks right now you can finally, with 200 or 250 bucks, it has a great price. It has all the characteristics of the most modern GoPro cameras and go pricing now has produced the global hero ten. So it is three models behind, but still it has this fine line between an amazing price, amazing photo and video capabilities that again, the videos, I think it shoots six KV, which is 100%. I think that your PC or your screen won't have the capability to show a six game video. So there is absolutely no reason to go ahead and buy a camera that shoots eight gay or six K. I think that the GoPro Hero seven black, which also offers an amazing stabilization and building stabilization. So your footage is not very shaky, even if you're shooting handheld is the best value for money option right here. Dji produces the so-called DJI Osmo PAGA is a camera with a building stabilizer in mechanical gimbal inside of it. It is very easy to use and it has a smaller footprint actually then the goal branding stuff, three-sixths. So the DJI Osmo pocket also produce an amazing image quality, amazing video quality. So you're going to be very, very happy while using the DJI Osmo bucket. And finally, we've got these 360, pretty much produces deans 361 arrest, which is the most value for money action camera from instance 360. My opinion, the thing here is that it has very much the same capabilities and the same features, just like the GoPro hero Simon black, the only thing is that GoPro heroes. And yet in general, GoPro is a company that has a great reputation and has been in the field of action cameras for a long time. They have the experience when it comes to manufacturing software and hardware on those cameras. And they also have a huge variety of different accessories to pair your cameras. To again, have more shooting options and make your videos more interesting for many different angles and stuff. So. This is a big reason to choose a GoPro rather than DJI or into 360. But again, I don't want to influence influential that hardly in the decision, it all comes down to your budget and your preferences. Now enough of the action cameras. Let's move to the DSLR. Now, DSLRs are produced from Canon, nikon, Sony. In fact, the best DSLRs and the most value for money. These alarms are normally produced from Canon, but we're gonna go through that. Now the characteristics of DSLR, obviously they're either include the characteristics of action cameras. So obviously this with full HD video, they showed great slow motion videos, great photographs. The thing is that they're not that easy to use actually. But you have grade footage, manipulation, perspective. So you can greatly manipulate again footage in your PC or straight from the camera. They have some broad characteristics, e.g. detachable lenses. You can tweak the settings again before giving you the video. And the fact that we can change lenses is just a huge blast to Y. Y to go with a DSLR or mirrorless camera, we can change the lens to telephoto lens, wide angle lens, and mid-range lands. You can make the background blurry when you're shooting with this or mirrorless cameras. And finally, especially the SLR cameras, they have amazing battery and mean that you can literally have one better with you during your whole vacation and you're going to be done and you've not even going to have to charge it. So the battery life in those beasts is absolutely amazing. Now let's talk about the most value for money options when it comes to DSLR cameras. Right off the bat, straight up, naked and Sony just don't produce value for money. Dslr cameras. I don t think that they even produce these cameras. I mean, I know that Sony doesn't produce anymore. These are cameras. Nichols DSLR cameras are not that good. So you're gonna have to go with a Canon DSLR. In my opinion, the most value for money DSLR camera when it comes to Ghana is the Canon 200 d that I mentioned here. It is my previous camera that I used to own. It has all the characteristics and disgust. Just in addition to that, it is just easier to use rather than other protists like average. So it is actually a great bridge, if you will, between inaction camera and a DSLR camera, just when it comes to the ease of use. So if you're in the mediated by all the characteristics than a different lens selections of this rock cameras. Go ahead and buy the 100 the orbit much. If you're between buying an action camera and this law camera. But you want to engage, we want to further engage with hobby photography and videography. Go ahead and buy the current 200. I think it is priced somewhere between 400 bucks used or relatively new. So I would go with the canon to 100 d. If I had to choose between a DSLR camera, moving onto mirrorless cameras, again, the manufacturers are the same. We've got Canon, Nikon, and Sony. The characteristics are the same with this 4D cameras. But we're talking about advanced technological characteristics when it comes to mirrorless cameras. Mr. remember that mirrorless cameras are more expensive than DSLR cameras. But again, these are investments will you do once? And you just keep the cameras afterwards and they just give you great memories from the tubes and great images and great videos. So there's that all of the three manufacturers actually make very great. I love the value for money because again they're pretty expensive, but again, they make great cameras. E.g. I. Know that the most value for money current mirrorless cameras is the Canon EOS RB. You can go ahead and check it out. It also has a huge variety of lenses to travel. This camera that photo lenses, wide-angle lenses, all that fancy stuff. The most value for money camera when it comes to neon is the meat and z for and all those cameras have similar characteristics. They also have a similar price point. So there's that, in my opinion, the most value for money mirrorless camera in general is either the Sony A7 or the Sony a 6,000. The A6 thousand is a bit more compact than the Sony A7. So keep that in mind. If I had to choose a mirrorless camera right now, I would buy for only the Sony A7, but again, this has more pro characteristics. The most easy mirrorless camera to use for beginners is actually the Sony a 6,000. So again, Sony 6,000, if you're going to go with mirrorless camera, can 200 if you want to go with DSLR and go brew hero seven black. If you want to go with a GoPro or an action camera, I hope that you're not overwhelmed with all of the information that I'm giving you right now. But this, again is a very information that I have accumulated through many years in the filmmaking era. And I feel like I'm talking to my 16-year-old self right now when I was starting out with this hobby. So sorry if I overwhelm you with information. Now let's go ahead and actually answered the big question. Which camera should you choose? Now, if I were you, I would just lay down the facts. Okay, there'll be discussed in the first stage of the lesson and go ahead and decide again based on the facts and based on the preoperational personal preferences. Now, I know, I think that, I think I know the target audiences of the scores. And the target audience are people that just want to go on vacation and you use the shoot irrigation or getting your smartphone. And you just tired of having all those footage accumulating for the years in your camera roll. And you're not exactly videographer or a filmmaker. You're a beginner, if you will, but you're a video and photograph enthusiast. And the key here is that you just don't want to. Let's say dive that deep into the videography and photography as a hobby, you just want to the data again, the camera from your phone. You understand what I'm saying when it comes to the Dutch in your camera from your phone to save battery storage and all the different aspects of talking about an ability. They just want to enjoy your vacation, not the way virtual vacation have fun and capture great moments. Now, if you think that I described you when i, in the previous sentence, then this right here is the camera you should choose. You should pretty much go with the GoPro Hero seven black. We discussed why and the key characteristics of those cameras. But pretty much this is why these cameras are very easy to use. They're just a bit more complicated than your phone, but these are cameras made for the general population again, to use their very easy and very enjoyable to use. Their compact size means that they fit in your pocket and just take them out of your pocket. They fit in any sort of backpacks. Then I'm going to give you another great secret here. Because I've traveled and short videos with Goebbels and I've traveled and short videos with the huge DSLR camera that I have. Having a smaller camera, a more compact camera with a smaller footprint, actually enables you to shoot videos in many locations that perhaps a bigger camera, this alarm or a mirrorless camera, just wouldn't be accessible to go to e.g. let's say that you are on a restaurant. You don't want to just grab your huge camera with a huge less and start photographing and the photographs of those big DSLR cameras actually sounding. That's all the sounds. You can hear the shutter of the camera. So you don't want to do that. You just want to grab your phone or grab your GoPro and very slowly just film, take photographs. This is completely silent. So in many cases, having a GoPro, which is very compact and has very tiny footprint and doesn't create noise. And people don't look at your round and say all videographer or a photographer, just have a GoPro and it's very easy to use and you end up actually shooting more than you would shoot with a DSLR or mirrorless camera. That's a huge plus and many people don't know. But I again, have figured out that the hard way because again, I tried to shoot with a DSLR camera and everybody was looking at me and it felt kind of awkward. But this is completely diminished when you're shooting with a small action camera. That the price is great. I think this is the fine line between NMAC Grice and amazing image quality. 200 to 300 bucks. This is thought that I think one would like to invest when it comes to capturing footage from your vacation because again, you also have your phone so you don't want to spend like thousand bucks and a great camera when you also can do this from your phone, kinda. The image quality and Kerberos is amazing. People tend to think that those cameras only shoot videos greatly, but this couldn't be further from the two humans. Quality is amazing. The dynamic range of those cameras is amazing, especially if you're shooting again during sunrise or sunset. More of that, I analyze in the GoPro course, there have been limits. Call these very good, It's better than your phone. And in this is that if you want to share videos on Instagram and you want to directly shoot videos for Instagram from your GoPro camera, you can just turn the camera at a vertical position and it automatically shoots vertical videos. So once you upload them, your phone, once you transfer those videos and photographs to your phone, they're gonna be in vertical format, which is very, very cool. Now another thing with those gamma is the fact that many people are like, Hey, I can switch lenses on those cameras. And this one I'm gonna go with a DSLR or mirrorless cameras. The thing is that you actually can switch lands on those cameras, but you can do this digitally, digitally in the GoPro Hero seven black that I suggest you actually change the focal length of your lens from ultra-wide to wide to narrow to linear. So those are four different lenses, Let's say which of course are digitally change, but still, you can change how zoomed in and zoomed out. You can be with your camera. So this is a huge plus video quality is just amazing. They also have buildings stabilization, so you don't have to buy a gimbal and stuff to stabilize those cameras. You can just shoot handheld. And again, those processors that have building our amazing videos are going to be looking extremely smooth, way, smoother than your phone. And this is also a huge plus. And we talked about the goal roles and the fact that they have been in the field of action cameras for many years now. There are amazing GoPro accessories to add to those cameras. And I'm gonna give you a small example, but analyze this in the group records that have small example, there is an accessory in which you strap your GoPro at the back of your dog. So you can literally see your dog running from a first person view. And this is very cool, but they have so many different accessories you can use to create, again, to capture videos from many different angles. And this is really what I want you to remember from this course. We're trying to unlock your creative elements when it comes to videography and GoPro accessories is a great way to do that in this stuff, Let's talk about now battery and storage. Gopro cameras have worst battery life, worse battery life than DSLR cameras and mirrorless cameras. That being said, the huge blast right here is that you can buy many batteries. So we usually a battery will last you for a day. When I was on vacation in Italy and I logged everything will go grow. A battery would last me about a day, so I was cool to use one battery a day. But if you shoot more than me and if you want to shoot more videos and more photographs, then you can buy more batteries and you can have an infinite amount of batteries. So pretty much you can have infinite amount of battery life in your go-tos. Now we're done with battery life. The same thing can be applied with storage. Storage is going to be external on micro SD card. So you could just start with migrates, the guard, there can be a 32 gb, 64 gigabyte, 120. You might end with an SD card. Again, you're not going to feel a 128 gigabyte SD card in one day. But even if you do so, you can just buy another one and stabbing him there and continue shooting. So you can virtually shoot for infinite amount of time because we have infinite battery and infinite storage when we're talking about Goebbels. So this is why, in my opinion, the best camera for you to use right now is a GoPro. And more specifically, the most value for money GoPro, GoPro Hero seven black. I hope that you're not overwhelmed with all of the information that I gave you in this lesson, but I'm very passionate about cameras and very passionate about videography and photography. And I just want to help you to conclude on the best and most value for money camera, which in my opinion, based on my experience, is again, the GoPro Hero seven black. So thank you very much for keeping up with at the end of this lesson. Now that we've decided to which is the best camera for you, it is time to move on and analyze some basic videography principles again, to assist you to become more creative and get better salts and actually have better memories from your vacation. So this what we're going to do in the second lesson of this course, we are discussing about some basic videography principles. See you there. 6. Video Principles: Composition: Now let's move into analyze what composition is and some basic composition principles. Because again, understanding how to elevate your production value through correct composition application will massively improve your videos. And again, we will help you create more interesting salts when you're on vacation. So let's go with the introduction of this lesson. What is composition? Composition is how we choose to present and frame our subjects. And obviously when we're on vacation, we and our beloved ones are going to be our subject. Correct composition helps to guide the story, create a correct atmosphere for the video, increase the engagement of the audience. So when we create a beautiful again movie, because there's the go over course to create beautiful cinematic movies of our vacation. And these are going to be very engaging and very fun to watch. And obviously with the correct composition, we can also convey certain feelings. So again, we arrange the elements in a frame. This is what composition is to, again, a pleasing and easy to understand way, because good understanding of composition creates eye-catching content for the viewers of our videos. There are two times two types of composition. We can change composition either by changing the framing of our subjects. And we can also change composition by changing the focal length of our lenses. And we're going to dive into both of those two. Now. Those are the composition rules we're going to analyze in this lesson right here, we got close-ups, medium shots, establishing shots, depth, symmetry, headroom living lines, rule of thirds. These are all the rules that there are when it comes to composition. And we're going to just briefly go through them so you get a simple understanding of what composition is. Again, if you wanna dive deeper, have a complete course in which we dive way deeper into each one of those rules. Now let's start with the first rule of composition, which is the rule of thirds. Now, the rule of thirds, the frame is divided into three sections. You can see the vertical sections and V horizontal sections. Now the rule of thirds states that if you place a subject along those lines which divide the frame in thirds, this creates a more pleasing image anymore policing video, e.g. right here you can see that this gradient here apply the rule of thirds and placed the subject into where the horizontal and vertical thirds meet. Now, is there a rule of thumb, when it comes to the rule of thirds is to place a subject eyes at the stop at the top intersection where one-third of the way down to the frame. So you can see that here the subject's eyes are placed exactly correctly what, where we want them. And this just creates a better image for the eye. Obviously, we don't need a subject to apply the rule of thirds. The rule of thirds can be blight in landscape salts, e.g. in this case right here, the graders used the rule of third to sub-divide in the top part of the image, the sky, then we have the horizon in this third. So this pretty much subdivided the horizon with a mid ground and V foreground. So this again is subdivided with the rule of thirds. And in addition to that, if you could say that there is a subject in this frame right here, and it's going to be this tree, which again is conveniently placed in this line right here. Same applies here. You can see this rule of thirds. The upper thirds is this guy. The middle thirds is the sunset, and again, the lower third is the foreground. So again, you can see that many images, we don't really get it, but the rule of thirds actually apply to most of the images and videos that we see in this too, that we don't obviously have to apply the rule of thirds in the horizontal axis, just like these graders have done here, we can also apply it in the vertical axis, e.g. in the left image, you can see that the creator applied the rule of thirds and has in the left third, the C and the skies in the right third, the mountain and in the middle frame, in the middle. Third in the middle of the frame it is where those two fuse. In addition to that, in the right image, you can see that we have a typical representation of this guy and the upper third, the mid ground, the middle third, and the foreground in the lower third. And you can see the subject again, placed conveniently in the right third that's subdivided vertically the image. Now let's move to the second composition rule, which is the rule of leading lines. This is very basic and you've seen this in most movies and most images, they love leading lines. States that again, we have certain lines within the image that lead the eye of the viewer to the subject. This is one of the most common composition rules. And this is actually one of the most common composition rules to implicate in your videos as a beginner. Now, what could leading lines be? This could be streets, buildings, textures, pretty much anything that guides the eye of the viewer to the subject, as you can see, which in this case is this woman with the umbrella. Leading lines again, can apply to landscape photography, portrait photography and videography, wildlife photography, videography, urban, pretty much anything you can see here, a great representation of the leading line composition rules. You can see that all of those lines lead to the subject, especially those two lines that are lighter, they lead to the face of the subject. So this is very interesting. And again, many, many different textures can produce leading lines to have in our subject. This is a great photo that represents again, the rule of the leading lines. We've got. Those shadows that are placed in the foreground, which lead to this girl's face. Again also leading lines here. You can spot a linear lines by yourself. The horizon is a leading line that leads to this central subject of a frame. And this is also a leading line that leads this, this road full of rocks that leads to the entrance of the surge, which again is the subject of our frames, so pretty much irrelevant. Remember that the leading line rule of composition. Blight natural elements and natural lines seen in your photo to guide the eye of the viewer to the subject. Now let's move to the second rule of composition, which is again the rule of headroom. Now headroom is pretty much the distance between the head and the top of the frame. You can see an example of decomposition of headroom in this image right here of me. Pretty much if you have increased headroom, which means that the distance between the top of the frame and the head is increased. This will lead to an awkward result. And if headroom is really, really decreased, this will lead into a claustrophobic result. This will seem a bit awkward and because the phobic, so this is the rule of headroom. Let's see some examples here. There's too much headroom. This result is awkward in this image right here. And also this doesn't apply only in photographs. This also applies in videos. Image a e.g. is a perfect image of just as much headroom as you need. Also this framing right here of me has as much framing and as much headroom as it needs. But image B, as you can see, doesn't have headroom. It looks like it's cropped in and just leads to this cluster fabric result which in fact no one wants. This was headroom, very basic rule of composition. Again, we don't dive that deep. We can just dive deep into each composition, unreasonable because this will take hours. Now let's move to the fourth composition principle, which is the symmetry composition principle. Now, symmetry pretty much has pros and cons. You can see this is a symmetrical image, e.g. this object is in the middle of a friend. All of the lines lead to the subject. So the rule of symmetry, rule of leading lines and rule of thirds actually all are combined together. The pros of the rural symmetry is that again, this really appeals to the eye. Look, this looks very satisfying. Some of the cons is that it might look staged and it might get repetitive if you overuse the rule of symmetry, e.g. this image right here, you can see that it kinda looks stage. It's very symmetrical to be just a normal shot. But again, this won't be a problem with yourselves because again, I don't think that we're going to stage the videos that we produce on our vacation. Now e.g. here you can see that the rule of symmetry produces dynamic and exciting photographs. This doodle of symmetry, we have this line right here and asymmetrical you and point because of the reflection in the lake. Also hear reflections are a great point of symmetry because again, everything is just reflecting the bottom of the frame. This is the loop in France, I think. Then we're moving to the rule of depth. The depth is pretty much created by highlighting the difference between foreground, midground, background and subject. You can see that all of those images actually apply and adhere to the rule of depth. Because again, the foreground, the middle ground, the subject and the background are separated. You can set the foreground. We have those blurry grasses in the mid ground, we have the subject and the background is also blurry. Same applies here in the foreground. We have those leaves in the mid ground, we have the subject and the background. We have those mountain. Same thing here, same thing here. Depth is achieved either by strategic subject placement or by changing the lens of your camera. We're not going to dive deeper into lens selection, but keep in mind that strategic subject placement can change the depth of your image. Given example here, this subject was strategically placed in the foreground of this frame to again add depth to the image. Now, I'm applying the rule of depth, the roof composition. When it comes to depth, increases the drama, the emphasis, and the pleasure to the eye of the viewer. So this again is an image with depth and this is a dramatic event. So pretty much depth in Greece, the drama and emphasis in the subject, because again, we detach the subject from the background and the foreground while playing with his rule. Now let's move to the different types of salts to change the composition of our videos. These are establishing shots, medium salts and closeups. So let's start with establishing shots. Establishing shots are salt that introduced new scenes and tell the viewer when and where the action is happening. And they can also set up a point of view or help develop a character pretty much established. Salts are the first shots that you want to introduce your viewer to where the action is happening. This and establishing Salt from, I think Skyfall, which again introduces us the viewers to where the whole action is happening. You can see some information about the storyline. You can see the great goddess, the old house. So you know what is going on in this data? Again, this is an establishing shot from Harry Potter. You can see the castle in the school where everything's happening. And usually we use establishing salts to start and end a sequence. Then we got medium shots. We can pretty much are a bit zoomed in or we just move closer to the subjects to film medium salt. If you compare this to establishing Salt, which I just zoomed out and wide angle salts of the place, metering salts are a bit more zoomed in. Usually salt at 24 to 40 mm. But you don't have to stress about this. If you're using a Goldberg, you have one fixed lens. If you set it at wide or linear mode, this is going to be a medium shot. I want you to know that most parts of a video, or actually medium range shots, and this is the type of composition and the type of shooting that we're going to focus the most in this course right here. Finally, we have close-up shots which are salts in which you just bring the camera closer to the subject or you just zooming. We're not going to use this that Martino in our vacations, but these increase the drama, the motion just create this uncomfortable feeling for the viewers, which sometimes we might want actually to make the viewers uncomfortable, just like in this thriller right here. Now finally, you can see the two different types to achieve a close-up. So you can either move close and shoot at a wide angle or you can move back and zooming with your camera. This will produce the same result, but just a more blurry background if you move away and zoom in with your camera. And now we're going to end this lesson with some composition tips that again, I have acquired through those years in the filmmaking field. The first thing that I have to give you is that you need to have a wide variety of different shots and different composition principles, again, deliver an amazing result. Don't be afraid to apply two or more composition principal at one shot. And again, don't be afraid in general to break the rules. This is a very creative field and you don't need to adhere and apply to every single rule that we discussed. Again, the best results come from creative mistakes, if you will. So just don't be afraid to break rules. The $30 gives you is that you need to get inspired by other creators. So if you're interested in creating again, those 20-minute movies, those tiny minute vlogs from your trip, go ahead and actually watch others that have created the same thing. This will give you great ideas. Next, make sure to experiment, go out, have fun obviously, and experiment with different salts. Your first video won't be perfect. But if you go ahead, actually improve and go out and shoot and edit and improve, this will massively help you produce again, better movies. This was composition. This where some basic composition principles that I want you to have in mind when you're outside on vacation shooting with your GoPro is, as we said, we discussed about frame rates, we discussed about the resolution, we discussed about composition principles. Now, to end this basic videography, if you will, subdivision of the scores, we will discuss about some basic lighting principles to again, make sure that you're probably equipped to continue with this lesson and that you're confident when you're outside your vacation filming with your GoPro. So in the next lesson, we're going to discuss about some basic lighting principles. 7. Video Principles: Frame Rates and Resolution: Hello everybody and welcome to the second lesson of this course. In this lesson right here, we're going to dive into videography basics because again, of course, we talked about cameras were talking about the most value for money cameras, which of course are gold rose. And we concluded that the best value for money option for you right now is the GoPro Hero seven Blackwell, chances are that it is a GoPro here is black because obviously you could go with a mirrorless camera or a DSLR camera. But now it's time to dive into more some videography basics that you need to know about, frame rates, composition, resolution, lighting principles. Now, we'll go through the slides right here in this lesson. But before we go, I just want to say that I have a complete course that is dedicated in teaching you everything you need to know about videography and more specifically, smartphone videography. So if you're interested in the slides of this lesson right here, and you're actually interested in those videography principles. Make sure to go ahead and actually enroll in my other course in which again, I analyze everything when it comes to smartphone videography. That being said, in the first part of this lesson, we're going to analyze frame rates and resolutions. So let's go and let's start with frame rates. Now, what is the frame rate? Pretty much, remember that a video is just multiple photos blade at high-speed. And this goes anywhere from 24 images per second up to more than 20,000 images per second. It depends on how much you want to slow down your video. And now that image is per second, the amount of images per second that displayed. This is called the frame rate. Now why are we interested in frame rates? Because the bigger the amount of frames that are played per second, the more we can slow clips down. So this is why we're interested in learning what frame rates and resolution needs. These are two key components of the software of your video camera. So let's go ahead and dive deeper into frame rates. First of all, let's start with the anatomy of the eye. Now note that p i views the world. We view the world at 24 frames per second. Everything else will seem glitchy. So it might seem like a bit laggy. Anything more? We just don't understand it, so we'll just view everything at 24 frames per second. The most common frame rates to be seen on cameras are 24 frames per second, 30 frames per seconds, 6,120.200 and20.240 frames per second. Now remember, this is a bit of a complicated topic, but if the I used the world at 24 frames per second, this means that a video that is shot at 60 frames per second can be slowed down twice. So if we divide 60 times du, this is going to get us 30.30 frames per second are more than 24 frames per second, which means that it won't seem glitzy. This is why we're going to play two times slow motion in a 60 inner clip film that 60 frames per second we're going to play five times slow motion. Of course, in a clip that is sorted 120 frames per second and ten times no motion at a clip, the result at 240 frames per seconds. So that's pretty much how you apply slow motion to a camera. If you have a GoPro and you set it to 60 frames per second, you will receive a clip that can be slowed down twice, respectively, 120 frames per second. You can slow this clip down five times 240 cents and you can slow this clip down then times. So this pretty much how we apply slow motion. Now these are the different cameras and the different ranges of frames per second that they can shoot. Phones can shoot, I think, up to 120 frames per seconds. So you can scroll this down again, four times. Dslr cameras usually shoot anywhere 24-120 frames per seconds. So again, similar to the phones, GoPro cameras can meet up to 240 frames per seconds. So you can stole this clip down again, 10%, ten times. And those are those huge slow motion cameras that can shoot anywhere from 24 frames per second, 2000 frames per second. Because again, these are cameras made to shoot at high frame rates to stoke lips down. Now why shouldn't I be always shooting at the highest frame rate available if I have bought a GoPro, that of course suits or 240 frames per second, and I'm telling you that there is no Actually visual difference, 24-240 frames per second. Why should we always be shooting at the highest frame rate available? Well, obviously there are pros and cons while shooting at high frame rates. The pros is that obviously when we see that high frame rates, so we have the ability to slow the clips down. This gives us the ability again to slow clips down in post production. In this lab, we have a high clarity of image if you're shooting at higher frames per second, but this is not easily viewable. Now cones is obviously that higher frame rates eat more battery, okay, they drain the battery and the of course produce bigger files, huge files. So this is pretty much the reason why we don't tend to shoot every single clip of ours at a very high frame rate. Obviously, we're going to have the luxury of post-production slow motion application and an increased probability of image. But the battery of the camera is going to be drained more easily. The files, I'm gonna get bigger. And when we're talking about GoPro, we said that they don't have the optimal battery life, which means that we might need to be careful with the battery consumption. So what is the recommended frame rate if you bought a GoPro and you want to actually do, again capture your vacation with a GoPro. What? This right here is the recommended amount of frame rates. Again, to shoot with your new GoPro camera, there's going to be 60 frames per second. And I know that this was kind of rushed, but in my opinion, this is the fine line between a frame rate that gives you the opportunity to slow your clips to time while maintaining battery life and producing files that are not that huge again and easy to store. So when you buy your new GoPro. Make sure to set your frame rates on your video at 60 frames per second. Again, this gives you an opportunity to slow the clips down twice. So times two, and we don't consume them as battery as well as storage. So this was a brief introduction when it comes to frame rates. I gave you the magic number, which is 60 frames per second. Now, let's move to the resolution. What is the perfect resolution and what is resolution in general? So as you know, you may or may not know actually, there is low resolutions and higher resolutions. Lower resolutions basically mean that we have a decreased amount of pixels and detail, if you will, in your screen higher resolutions me that we have a bigger amount of pixels in the screen width, of course, is directly proportional to a big best and better image quality. A low number of pixels could be a little resolution, could be 240 P. This means 240 pixels in the screen, in your screen. And then higher resolutions are more than ten AB, which means that we have more than 1080 pixels in the screen. Obviously there are higher as loosen this we've got for k6k8 gave. So again, there's no ceiling when it comes to resolution. Now let's see which type of camera has been used in different types of resolutions. Again, anything below them, 720 B is on a very, very old cameras. So we pretty much have a baseline of full HD, which is ten ADP, NADP. This law cameras, of course, are capable of producing it. Nab full HD video mirrorless cameras also phones also go pros Also. Now above full HD, which of course 1080 pixels than in the beam, we got 2.72, 0.4 K to win seven k for k and all of those grades resolutions. Now, usually phones are capable of shooting up to four k. So there's that for k. Our phones pretty much suited for k nowadays. Mirrorless cameras also suited for gay men, DSLR, or mirrorless cameras suited for K. We not go pros nowadays also shoot at 2.4 k, 2.7 k for k6k. So again, new cameras and the cameras that I suggest you in the previous lesson, Gansu, that those high resolutions. Here is the question that we had also in the frame rates. Why shouldn't I always be shooting at the highest resolution? I bought my GoPro camera because you can see that six k. Why shouldn't I be always shooting add six gig? I think you know the answer of this question. Just like frame rates resolution has its pros and cons. The pros of increased resolution, e.g. for k or six K is the fact that we have increased quality of video and be better sharpness and better quality in our image, the videos look better. The cons is obviously that we've increased our solutions. We need more computing power of the camera to produce this resolution. So we have increased memory consumption and increased storage consumption. And this is again, the main problem we're pursuing with increased resolutions, shooting at four K constantly will drain your battery and will produce huge files. So again, just like we said, that the 60 frames per second is the ultimate frame rate. We need to find the ultimate resolution. And I have found the ultimate resolution again through trial and error of those many years. This right here is the suggested resolution that I have to suggest to you when it comes to shooting with a GoPro. In my opinion, I actually shoot all of my clips at 2.7 k. In my opinion, this is the perfect resolution because again, you have a very, a great image with increased clarity, increased sharpness, very bright and beautiful image. So great video quality. This doesn't consume that much battery. And in addition to that, the files that are graded are not that huge. They're big files, but still they're not those huge files at fork a video producers. So again, the killer combination here, the killer combo is a resolution of 2.7 k at 60 frames per seconds. So we combine again this beautiful resolution with this key frame rate. And we have the so-called 2.7 k, 60. Again, 2.7 k resolution and 60 frames per second. Set your new GoPro camera to those settings and forget about camera settings for good. So pretty much this is what I had to say when it comes to frame rates and resolutions. This was a brief lesson. And again, if you want to dive deeper into frame rates and resolutions and videography basics, I have a complete course not. Now let's move into some basic composition principles we're going to discuss in the next lesson. 8. Video Principles: Lighting: So welcome everyone to this lesson, to the second installment of again, the videography basics lesson of this course. In this lesson right here we're discussing about lighting. So we discussed about composition, the importance of composition. The different composition principles are good leading lines, that rule of thirds, all of that great stuff. And I want you of obviously not the dig very deep into each one of the compositional principles because this is not a course on videography, have a separate course on again, videography basics and smartphone radiographic basics. But now it is time to actually invest some of our time into understanding lights. Because as we're gonna discuss in this lesson right here, understanding properly how to use lights is more important than actually investing in very expensive camera and using this camera basically the understanding of lighting is more important than the understanding of the camera settings. As weird as this may sound. Now, enough of the introduction, let's move to actually the goal of this lesson and then different types of lights, which of course there are and we can use to light our scenes. Now. First of all, I want you to remember again, will we said that good lighting is more important than a good camera. And when I say good lighting, I'm not only referring to studio lights, I have in my room right here. Good lighting can actually be natural. Sunlight from the sun was gonna be diffused from the clouds. We're going to talk about diffusion from the clouds later in this lesson. Now many times in this lesson I'm going to mention some of the gear pieces that you might need or might want to invest in when it comes to light. But again, this is a course which focuses on vacation videography and vacation shootings. So pretty much it is not that relevant. I just want you to understand some basic lighting principles. So we're good with that chapter when you can move on with again, discussing and further analyzing this whole systematic approach into vacation shooting. So broad understanding of lighting, remember, it is way better than investing all of your money in a great camera right? Now. Let's move on. Good lighting. What is the goal and what is the result of lighting a scene properly? First of all, we know that different lights delivered different moods. When it comes to the subject of the video, we have top-down lights would make things more scary or how sideways light and backlight. All of these lights and all those different lighting principles are there to deliver different moods and different tones. Do our videos. Now you might argue, Hey, okay, I'm going to be shooting outside. It's going to be vacation. How I'm going to deliver different moods based on the light. Well, even the outside life and even the sunlight actually helps deliver different moods. E.g. if you have a video shot in three BM with hard sunlight during the summer, it's gonna deliver a different mood from a video that is salted during sunset or during sunrise. So again, the lighting of a scene helped deliver a different mood. To that. Good lighting is budget independent. Again, you can find great lighting for free outside if the conditions are proper. And of course, good lighting also improves the visuals. There are certain steps that you can apply to your video in which we utilize the correct lighting that comes from either an outside source or inner sources. And we have better visuals when it comes to our videos and our photographs. And I just don't want you to remember that good lighting is not only available for bros, lights are obviously free. Everything is laid for free from the sun. And again, learning how to use, utilize this will give you a massive advantage when it comes to your videographer. Let's move on. I want you to remember that if you pay close attention to lighting and correct, invest in a year, then you can also use natural light when this is available. So pretty much if you want a complete approach into lighting, you need to pay attention to this lesson or other lessons to teach about lighting. Again, I go way deeper into lighting in my course when it comes to smartphone geography. So firstly, learn the basics, then you invest in some lights, just like I have invested right here. And finally, you'll learn how to utilize the light that is seen. Of course, the natural light outside. Now, in your case, of course, we can bypass the investing the correct year apart because again, we're not focusing in this course right here to suit actually indoors. But again, it's just good to know. Now it's just about the goal of this lesson. Let's move to the different types of lights, and this is really what I want you to pay attention. The first type of light is hard light or harsh light. Hard light. Remember that this is the definition, the definition of hard light. How light is light that comes without a filter. It is unfiltered. It's bright, glaring, and can cast shadows, but can be useful in creating high-contrast images. Now, in other words, hard light, hard light, or as we call it in videography, is very creative. We use harsh light for creative purposes. That being said, when we're shooting videos on vacations or during travels, we don't want to be that creative with lighting. We just want to really capture the experience as it is at that moment. So as a rule of thumb, I want you to remember that, especially while sitting with our Goebbels, we are going to try to avoid hard. Light and there are ways to avoid hard light by diffusing it. We're going to talk about diffusion of light later in this episode. Now, I want you to remember that we're trying to avoid harsh, harsh light as much as possible. There is natural harsh light and literally studio harsh light. It all depends on if we're gonna diffuse the light source or not. Also calls attention in this image right here. This image right here is an image that requires high dynamic range to be captured. What does this mean? This means that we have very dark shadows and very bright highlights. You can see the silos are almost black and the highlights are almost white. This means that the different aspects of shadows and highlights in our image, I'm going to be of a huge range. And this requires a camera with a bigger sensor and more computing power. On an image like this, a mirrorless camera or a DSLR camera would actually have a better performance than a GoPro camera. But again, due to the fact that we're not shooting in harsh sunlight frequently when we're out on vacation and we're trying to avoid actually, I suggest you to buy GoPro and not a DSLR and mirrorless camera. But for occasions like this, obviously this law or a mirrorless camera are key. So again, these are some other implications of Hard Light gave grades drop shadows. It is artistic, it is creative. But again, you can see that it is just not the best type of light to have to remember our trips. So as I mentioned right here, it is usually not recommended. Now, where can we find natural harsh light? This is the mid-day sunlight. If the sun, as we said, harsh sunlight is pretty much sunlight that is not diffused. Now, a diffuser is pretty much a screen or a protective, let's say, membrane that comes and is placed between the light source and the subject to make the light more and more clear. This we're going to discuss later in this episode. Now, a natural type of diffuser are the clouds. But if we don't have clouds, if it's not a cloudy day and we have a direct contact of the sunlight and the subject. This is bad and this create Ralph shadows with stresses the cameras, sensors, and it usually needs to be avoided. This is why as a rule of thumb, especially when we're shooting with GoPro, is we're trying to avoid shooting on midday and we try to shoot more during sunrise or during sunset. Now obviously, if you're on vacation, okay, you are going to shoot during. So we are gonna be exposed in hard light. But again, let's try to minimize it as much as possible because again, it's going to create rough shadows and it's going to just stress the camera sensor for no great reason. Again, the results with hard light or not, that optimum. Now, let's discuss about the filmmakers best friend, soft light. And as we said, soft light, hard light with a diffuser weren't talking about an artificial environment. The hard light source is going to be again, an LED light or a light beam. And the diffuser source is going to be a diffused filter. And this creates the so-called soft light, which again delivers this soft and diffused light throughout the scene. Here you can see the difference e.g. of a portrait of this person between hard light and soft light. Again, this diffusion spreads the light, it evens it out and creates a soft and gentle effect in this person's face. And you can see this because the dynamic range produced from a soft light source is way less spectrum, e.g. here you can see very dark shadows, very bright highlights. Here we have smoother shadows, smoother highlights, and this is the optimal case to not stress our cameras sensors. And if Gold Plus have one flow is the fact that they have small sensors and they are very litigate don't produce a great dynamic range. So you want to avoid hard sunlight when we're shooting with gold. So you can see that this person is amazingly lit. Obviously, this is a controlled lighting environment and this is why it is so successful for lighting this person. Now, again, self-love is a creative favorite. This is a scene of a video clip shot with soft lighting. It is a great favorite. It is the most used type of lighting is the best looking and it's very easy to produce soft light. But if you don't want invest in studio, which of course you're not going to because we're talking about a vacation shoot right here. You can create natural soft light. Let's talk about how to produce soft light. So first of all, have a source. We add diffusion is diffusion can be anything from if we're talking about S3 environment, of course, white card stock to newspapers, to anything that again spreads out even in even the light. And again, this could be feeling papers, reflectors, bedsheets, shower curtains, pretty much everything that can diffuse the light between the source and the subject. This is where I want to stay for a moment. This is a very important slide. Harsh sunlight, in addition to clouds, gives us the best quality of soft light. Clouds are a source of natural diffusion. I think, you know why? Because the clouds, once again targeted with this natural harsh sunlight source, they diffuse the light throughout the area. And again, when you're on vacation, you probably don't want it to be cloudy. This is gonna be a bummer. But if you're a filmmaker and you're on vacation and there are clouds, you know, that your videos are going to look way better. Your camera is not gonna be that stressed. Again, the result that you have from your videos is going to be the optimal and this is the best quality of soft light. Again, you can use natural sunlight to shoot even if you're in your places indoors. Again, remember that natural light and natural diffuse light is better than studio light against the quality of natural light is always better than studio light. The only problem is that natural sunlight fluctuate and studio light is always continuous. We can of course, switch on and switch off the lights and it's going to be the same thing all over again. But natural light is subject to changes. Obviously, we're going to have clouds that disturb it each day. The seasons of course, change the vibrancy and the exposure of natural sunlight. Again, to use natural light, we're going to have the key light, which is either going to be the light outside or just a window in your place. And you can also diffuse it by yourself by carrying a diffuser outside or just placing a diffuser in front of your window. But again, it's not recommended, especially if you are on vacation. Now we've got studio lights. Let's not focus on scooter lights. I get more in-depth and pseudo lights in my other course. But just remember that if you're going to ever invest in studio lights, make sure to buy LED lights, which are the best studio light source to use. They don't produce heat, they're long-lasting, their energy efficient, they're lightweight, and they are battery powered roots means that they can be mobile. Now, this is what I have to say you when it comes to lighting, we discussed about again composition. Now, we concluded about lighting. One thing that I want you to know from this lesson, because again, I went very fastly through the slides. I go in depth in the other course that I have. But if I wanted to remember something, is that let's try to avoid harsh mid-day sunlight as much as we can. This is gonna be our number one enemy when we're shooting with Goebbels. And I know that I've again, I've presented GoPro as the ultimate camera for your case. And I think that it is the camera honestly for your case. But this, if you will, is a flaw of Goebbels. They don't have the best results when it comes to shooting in heart sunlight. You will see that if you're out in the media and it's not cloudy and it's 01:00 P.M. or 3PM when the sun burns the most and you do have this direct light source on your subjects. You can see that the shadows are going to be very dark. Highlights are going to be very wide. So try to navigate around this problem. Now how do we navigate around this problem? We got three solutions. The first solution is to shoot during sunrise, because during sunrise the light is not that hard, but it is more diffused. The second option is to suit if it is cloudy. So again, if it is cloudy, you have no stress. Get your camera outside, starts shooting, capture stuff, no problem for the sensor whatsoever. The third obstinate job is to shoot during sunset. Sunset is my favorite time to shoot as a videographer with any camera, of course, GoPro sensors are going to be stressed with harsh sunlight, but also these aren't mirrorless cameras. Sensors aren't going to be stressed. It's just the fact that mirrorless camera and this allows, are going to perform just a bit better than Goebbels. Now please don't be scared of shooting in harsh sunlight. Okay, I might have presented it a bit more dramatically than it really is. Your GoPro is going to do just fine. These are action cameras made to shoot at anytime of the day, but I'm just one of you to have the best results which are going to help us in the post-production editing part of the scores. So if you can just avoid harsh sunlight, shoot during sunset, during sunrise, or if it is cloudy. If you can't avoid harsh sunlight, it is fine. Everything can be changed and other during post-production. So this was the lesson when it comes to lighting. And you very much, I'm going to see you in the next lesson. 9. File Storage System: Hi everybody and welcome to, in my opinion, one of the most transformative lessons of this course. If you want to keep the information of one lesson during this course, make sure that this right here is the lesson in this lesson right here. And I'm saying that this is a transformative lesson for you because the stuff that I'm going to teach you in this lesson are stuff that I have really learned through experience. No one has taught me this stuff and it's really made my life, my filmmaking life, so much easier. In this lesson right here we were discussing about file storage, file sorting, and really how to instantly know where every single video that you've ever taken is located and how to locate it. Literally seconds. Imagine how refreshing it would be to literally want a photograph of one of your trips. And with seven clicks, you have this photograph or you have this video. And the best part of all of this is that by the end of this course, you won't even have to search for those photographs and videos because again, we're going to create big movies that incorporate all of those photographs and videos. But for now, I want you to focus and follow along to understand how to create this file sorting system. This is one of the most important things that I need you to understand when it comes to filmmaking, this will make your life way easier. And again, this will just make your footage stand the test of time. So this is how we're going to function in this lesson right here, we're going to create a new folder. And this folder, we're gonna, I'm gonna show you how to categorize footage based on the timing, the location, and the camera in which they were salt. And everything's gonna make sense. I'm going to give you an example and we're gonna go through this process together on how to again, store footage inhabit for the rest of your life. That being said, let's go ahead and there's going to be my documents folder. This is the place where we're going to create this new folder with all the votes, storing principles and systems. So let's go ahead and actually create a new folder. And let's say that this is your new hard drive. Because as I said in the beginning of this course, I really encourage you to buy a hard drive, having your PC. And in general, we're going to be touch the aspect of hard drive and file storage from our phones. So preferably, again, the ultimate setup for you to shoot with a GoPro and then take the SD card out of a GoPro to your PC, to your computer, and then in the computer having hard drive connected to store all of your files successfully there. Let's assume that you bought a hard drive and these go very cheap. You can buy it from a Black Friday sale or something like that. Very cheap again, for what you're getting, you're really getting lifetime access and storage of footage and really decompress your form from all of those unnecessarily gigabytes. So let's say that this is your hard-drive right here. Just ignore the documents name and let's create a new folder. Let's actually say that this new folder is your hard drive. So this is the hard drive or hard drive. Now, if we open our hard drive, Let's select this view right here. So let's say that this is our hard drive. So inside our hard drive, we're going to further subdivided and create sub folders because obviously the name of the game and the core of the system is just creating subfolders to the point in which we can locate each file very, very easily. So let's create some folders and subfolders I'm going to create. As soon as we enter our hard drive, are going to be based on the year in which each photo video edit is going to be shot. Don't worry, everything's gonna make sense. So let's say the first folder is gonna be 2022. Now in my case, I'm obviously a filmmaker from some years now, so I got folders away 2015-2022. But let's say that we created 2021 sub folder 2020, some folder. And you find files from each one of those years and might find some random files from your phone. And you just sort them in each one of those years based on the principles are going to discuss in this lesson, note that you don't have to actually start sorting files in this system. Then I'm going to show you right here. As you shoot new files, you can actually sort already sought files in the system. So you can literally start storing your files into hard drives as soon as you've finished with this lesson. So that's very exciting. So let's say that these are all of the years that you have salt foods and you have accumulated for it. It's probably more years than this. But just for reference point, let's say that you've got 2019 to 2020. To also note that if you're using a Mac, it automatically sorts the heart, the folders, and the file names based on the numerical order. So the smaller number is above and the larger number is below. Now let's say e.g. that we're shooting in 2020 2.1 to access our files that were shot on 2022. Now, I'm going to grade more subfolders. I want you to prepare for that. So the sub folders I'm going to create in each one of the different years of folders located initially are going to be a videos subfolder, a photos folder, and add it. Subfolder. A vlogs, some holder. And I like always degree this up a little. It's called random phone stuff. And also sometimes they also create some sub-folders which are called document, in which spoiler alert, I saved some of my documents. But you can literally have new hard drives for documents. Just ignore the documents one, I'm just adding it for reference. Now let's analyze width. What do we add in each one of those subfolders? So obviously, that's all with the videos subfolder, subfolder. We're going to obviously short video and we're going to store our videos there. But again, we're going to combine them and create more subfolders so we know where each group is located. Same thing will happen with the photos folder. And I like to think of the videos folders as two folders with raw footage. We're never going to access the video sub-folders. Just to watch a video. We're going to watch our videos from the edits and the vlogs subfolder. So using the videos and the photos, footage of those two sub folders, we're going to create beautiful blogs and edits of our vacation. Vlogs are gonna be those 20-minute movies that we're going to learn how to create video of the scores. So again, we're going to use footage from the videos and the photos subfolder and construct beautiful blogs. And then this dot edits are gonna be some cinematic videos that we'll learn how to create. Not in this course have a completely different goals in which I show you how to create barrels, which are pretty much the edits I'm referring to, which again, are gonna be stored in the edit section. Now V random font stuff. So Folder, pretty much good goal, either on the videos or the photographs because random phone footage is either videos or photographs. But sometimes they're so random that they're not capable of being sub-categorize them one of those folders, I really just sometimes have a random font stuff, some folder for some very random phone videos. So let's grab the raw foods sub-folders, which as we said, is the videos and the photos folder and the file sorting and the sub categorizing in both of those are voters are gonna be the same. Now, let's take it from the beginning. We started with a hard drive, then we subdivided based on years, then in each year, and these are obviously apply to each one of those years. So in all of the years, I'm going to create those subfolders. Now. We sub categorized on the type of footage we're going to see in each sub folder, e.g. vlogs, videos, random Falstaff bottles. You get the point. Now let's start with regularizing videos and photographs, which are again, are the raw footage subfolder. Now, in those sub folders, we're going to now sort based on location. And this, in my opinion, as I've found through experience, is the best way to locate the file. So obviously when we're shooting a video, we are located in some place on this planet, e.g. creating a new folder from our Italy trip. Okay. To store the video that we shot. Or a new folder with scold summer in Santorini, or a new folder which is called, let's say, biking in Athens, e.g. Greece. So pretty much we sort based on location here and the same thing is going to apply to photograph. So say we had a photo shoot with shoes, we type shoes. Photo shoot in Germany. Just random stuff. Obviously there's didn't occur. But again, we sort based on location. So we know each one of the suits that we did based on location. And it's what if you had two summers and suddenly in the same year, if you had two trips into the room, you can say someone's had Lorine one and summer in Santorini too. Okay. So this is very easy. Again, nothing very stressful. I think it was straight forward up until this point. Now, here comes more sub-categorize. There's gonna be the name of the game again in this city in each one of those folders. Now, we're going to further subcategorize based on the day of the trip, e.g. let's say we had three days in Italy. They want sorry about that. Day one, day two, day three. So now we can further based on the date and this again will help us sort identify footage and remember when each salt was filmed. Now, if you're OCD and you want to really perfect the system in each one of those days, we're going to actually create new folders based on the places in which we sort each one of the clips, e.g. in day one, let's say we went in Rome. Okay. Let's say that we went biking in day one. Let's say that we also are no aid in a great place and we took videos of that place. This is the ultimate footage storing mechanism right here. So in each one of the activities. Pretty much that because those are activities in each day, we sort in inside categorized based on the activities that we did in that day. Now, in each one of those activities, this is the name of the game and this is the part which I want you to pay attention. Now, we further sub categorized based on the camera in which we shot the clip, e.g. biking, we used the GoPro Hero seven black. And I want you to be very detailed based on the camera. I want you to write the whole model of a camera in which you sought the clips. It might sound irrelevant because you're gonna be like, Okay, yeah, I got one. I got one camera. Why should I write the whole name? I know it's a GoPro. No. Because as your path as you go on, you're going to buy new camera and new gear. And it's gonna get very, very frustrating to see GoPro. And you're gonna be thinking that this is going to be footage from the GoPro Hero seven black, but it's footage from 2015 from the GoPro hero for so now we sub-categorize eclipse based on the cameras. Let's say that during bagging, you also had a drone foods from DJI Moravec air. Okay. And you also have some iPhone footage. So iPhone in its day it was something that varies based on the activity to be during the day, and then further subcategorize based on the camera that we used to capture those videos and capture those photographs. So let me give you a small example. Let's say that in the first day of the trip, we went biking, we sought a DJI Medicare, so he drone footage. Then we had food and we sought clips on our iPhone only. Okay. And then in Rome, we again had only GoPro Hero seven black. But it's now this comes apart in which you really don't have the short clips even more. You know that it is biking GoPro footage. Then you drag and drop the footage from your GoPro. Do this folder right here. And for your drone to this folder, getting from your iPhone, you AirDrop. But in order for it to this folder right here, this is gonna take you more time. This is going to take you more time to sort the clips like this. But trust me, this is the most painless way to find any clip that you want. Let's say that your brother, e.g. asks you, Hey, do you have that great GoPro footage of us cruising down in Rome. And under normal circumstances, just would open your phone and started scrolling and scrolling and scrolling and scrolling until you found that footage. But now it is just so easy because you go, Okay, Rome, when do we want to go? Rohm, 2022. What is he what is he looking for? Videos when it was Rome in Italy in which they went to Rome day one. Okay. When did you bike? We biked, we ate. Okay. So let's say biking. You want the GoPro footage and then you just locate its with it. And this is the brilliance of the system. I'm so proud of the system. It will help a lot of people. So this happens in videos, the exact same principles applied in photographs. So let's say that this is the shoes photoshoot in Germany. Let's say that then you further separate the grade is based on the activity. So this was the model one that you shot. So again, photos model1, then you further based on the camera that you sought. So let's say that we solve this with a Canon 5D Mark four. And then we can further again sub-divide when it comes to photographs based on the raw footage that we have. So sorry about that. Raw photos and edited autographs. And you can imagine what raw unedited photographs are. Raw photographs are photographs that have not been manipulated, adult straightening my camera and edit photographs have been manipulated and they are ready. Make sure to also take diamond sword photographs as well as videos. Pretty much at the same time that I want you to apply to these further south with equalization of videos. I want you to apply in photographs because there are important. So we're going to use both photographs and we used to create beautiful edits and vlogs by the end of this lesson. But this pretty much is not gonna be only useful for you when it comes to vacation videos. It's gonna be in general, useful to you in all of the footage that you had. And I encourage you to go ahead and actually create those folders right now and start sorting your videos that you have acquired for all those years with your phones, e.g. now let's move to the edits and vlogs sub folders. This is very straightforward and very easy. We're not going to have any further separate resonance here. I mean, you can actually create sub-folders and say that you haven't edited from Italy. But I would create sub-folders just if I had many edits from each of my trip. If I have one edit from Italy, I wouldn't create one folder to store just the italy edit. And of course there's going to be the file that we're going to export from our editing software. I usually don't do this. I just have edits and I create five to six to ten, I guess, edits a year and I just drag and drop them into the edits folder. Very simple. Same actually applies In vlogs. In the vlogs subcategory, I just have the files, the MP4 files of the blogs that I have created. So this pretty much it. This is the beautiful system on how to store your videos. Again, to recap, I'm going to just focus here on the photos and the video is that raw footage just a week if you follow the system, it's gonna be very, very helpful for you. When we started by, the first category is gonna be the year. In each year, we sort based on the file types. So we've got video, we've got photographs, random phone stuff, added, vlogs. And in the videos and photographs, we then sub-divide based on the location. So let's say Italy bagging enough and Santorini, the next hour, thuggery is location-based. After that, we have the dates. So they want actually they do D3 and each day we have activity-based sub categorization. Finally, in those activities, then we further subdivided based on the cameras that we use to shoot those videos. So the geometric area, GoPro here, seven iPhone. And this is ladies gentlemen, the easiest way to locate at anytime. Any video that you have pretty much ever acquired, you literally just have to think when and where you took this video and you can find it through this system that we created. I'm very happy that you follow along in this lesson right here. I think that there's really going to be very transformative and it's going to help you create timeless memories. Now, let's move into the next lesson in which we're going to discuss about some basic principles, e.g. how to save more battery and more storage from your camera and how to minimize time that you spend behind a screen while you're on vacation. This is really the part of the course which is going to help you tie your hands and really enjoy your time on your vacation. So see you in the next lesson. 10. Minimising Screen time: Welcome everyone In this lesson in which we're going to dive deeper into how to minimize our screen time, our phones screen time while we're on vacation. Now we've talked about this in the surface level. Now it's time to dig even deeper and actually analyzing some strategies and again, some approaches and minimizing your screen down while you're on vacation. Because again, the goal of this course right here is to generate timeless memories and timeless movies from our trips, but also enjoying the moment while we are on them. So let's begin. The key thing, of course, to minimize your screen time and maximize your experiences when your vacation is to stop shooting with your phone. Now, I want you to think of shooting with your phone like a bad habit. And there are two ways to actually stop a bad habit. The first one is to make it very hard and very accessible, inaccessible. And the second one is to actually move the good habits in front of it. So make 0s, make good habits easier and more accessible, and make bad habits harder and inaccessible. And we're going to broach shooting with our phone as a bad habit. Shooting with a dedicated GoPro or another camera as a good habit. Because again, this habit, if you think about it, the ones who are on vacation, once we see something cool as a habit, we just take our phones out and start shooting with our phones. But I think that at this point of the course, after all this time in which I explained to you all of those principles, I think you're, that you're convinced this is actually a bad approach into capturing our lives. So again, I want you to think of shooting with your phone as a bad habit and shooting with cameras as a good habit. How are we going to make Sue shooting with our phones heart and inaccessible? Well, the first and most easy thing to do is to actually just remove your camera up out of sight. So removal camera app from your phone screen. I know that the camera is accessible from the lock screen of your phone, but subtle movements like this are just one step towards the correct direction, direction that you can have your phone e.g. logged in your backpack. So again, you're not tempted to always check social media and always take it out and increase your Watson. Where's your screen time? I want you to make, make it hard to view your phone. In. Another principle is you can apply, which it's kinda random, but it has helped me a lot, is to actually add one of those rubber cases in your phone, which makes it hard to slide your phone in and out of your pocket. This again will make it harder to take your phone out of your pocket because again, we will mess up your bucket. And even this, even making this habit of taking your phone out a bit harder, subconsciously triggers a chain reaction, which again, you won't use your phone as much, especially the capture videos. Now the second charter here is to make shooting with your camera more easier and more accessible. And this is what we're analyzing right now. Now let's say, how are we going to make today with our camera more easy and more accessible? What we want to trigger our brain to immediately when we see something cool thing, oh ****, I should get my camera and capture this. So the first thing is to actually invest in a proper camera and make a substantial, if you will, investment to this camera. When we devote money into buying a camera, it's like we've earned this money, right? So we've worked for this money and it's like we delegate some of our work and some part-time to this camera. So we feel like we've earned this camera. We've invested time that could be invested somewhere else. So this camera, so we want to use it even more. This is why cameras are expensive and this is why I don't actually encourage you to buy the cheapest camera option out there. I've encouraged you to buy the most value for money, camera ops and other. Now obviously I haven't. I'm encouraged you to buy the GoPro Hero seven black, but there are cheaper GoPro cameras to buy. But again, this is the most value from on-camera and I think this is the fine line between a proper investment for a very durable and value for money camera. So make sure to actually invest in a proper camera just like a GoPro. The second thing is that I want this camera to always be charged, okay? And obviously as we're shooting photographs and videos coming out will discharge, the battery percentage will drop. But we will find ways to cycle around this. More details on that, on the next lesson in which we're going to discuss about how to preserve battery and preserve storage. But for now, remember that you need to have this camera always charged because even if you think that the camera is discharged and you don't have battery, this will prevent your establishing this good habit of actually capturing stuff with your camera. So always have your camera charged and keep spare batteries with you. In addition to that, there is a reason why I suggest that you go through here seven black to do this job when you're on vacation, it is the fact that it fits in your pocket. You can literally fit this camera in your pocket. And this is one of the biggest assets of Goebbels over DSLR and mirrorless camera. They're tiny footprint, they're amazing image and video quality. Their accessibility and their versatility is what actually, in my opinion, makes them the best for this job right here, imagine having a DSLR or mirrorless camera. Every time you see something exciting, you should just reach your backpack, take up a camera, open the camera, turned on video settings. And then shoot with a GoPro. You just take it out of your pocket, press one button and you literally are shooting. It's even faster than shooting with your phone. Shooting with a GoPro is faster than shooting with your phone. So you should always have it in your pocket fully charged, and you are ready to go. In additional that I would like you to when you buy this GoPro, I wanted to enable Quicksort. Quicksort is one of the most genius recording methods that I've seen in a while in the filmmaking world, it is basically your camera is switched off, okay? And you just press the record button. The camera automatically switches on and starts recording. And this is just amazing because back in the day, we needed to press the side button to turn on the camera and then start recording. And this will take 5 s, but this visually diminishes the time as you need from a completely switched off camera to a camera that records to one or 2 s. So please, enabled quicksort, always have a camera in your pocket, fully charged, and invest in a proper camera. These are the easiest ways to actually maximize the efficiency of having this good, again, habit of shooting with your camera. Now if I could add something in V, first pointed hat here, that means that investing in a proper camera and actually spending money to buy, which you are called to use, is to actually invest in accessories. And this is another reason why I suggest that the GoPro for the perfect camera for this job right here. The fact that there are many accessories you can use and men accessories that you can bear to this camera to make your footage look way, way better. Now before we move into the slide with the accessories, want to tell you that I have a complete course when it comes to GoPro for beginners. So if you buy this camera and you want to dig deeper and go bro, I'm discussing everything and analyzing everything you need. But when it comes to globules in this course right here, you can check it in my profile. But this is a very brief introduction to a very cool Accessory Setup that you can have. If you buy GoPro. No, don't pay attention to decide images for now I want you to focus on the middle limits. If you're not interested in diving very deep into accessories, I just want you to focus in the middle image right here, which is the GoPro, with the so-called three-way. And this is one of the most key accessories to buy with GoPro. I think it comes with a bundle actually with a GoPro Hero eight and above. So if you go with the Gilbert hero seven block, you won't actually have, you're going to have to buy it separately. But again, this is a driver Pretty much which actually doubles up as a selfie stick and a selfie bolt soul. There's gonna be an amazing accessories Because usually go pros can't stand by themselves or they're very low to the ground if you just rest them on the ground. So this acts like a tripod. You can change the perspective and you're going to see a great variety of salts with this accessor right here also, it is relatively cheap. So this is also a class obviously, because we've invested in the camera. We don't want to invest and just as diminished all of our money on accessories. So it's relatively cheap. It is very valid for one accessory and I would 100% recommended if you don't want to dive deep into accessories. Now, if you're enjoying thriller with your GoPro and you enjoy accessories and switching it up and having more salts, then there are many, many accessories to choose from. Again, in the course in which I discussed about gerbils, I mentioned all of the accessories that you can need, an Olympics history that exists. So you're going to have a full comprehensive novels from there. But to be very simple, there are many accessories that stick to surfaces. There are many accesses, does dig into glass. This is the clamp accessory, which again, we could just clamp it somewhere and achieve great shots. We got bowls, we can accessories. Let's take your GoPro to your head so you gotta POV, view to your chest, many, many accessories, different filters. So there are many different options when it comes to accessories. Another thing that you might want to invest in if you buy a GoPro is just this protective case right here to store your accessories on your globe rows and your batteries in your SD cards if you want to go, again, falling into this accessory and global game, That being said, of course, we discussed about the accessories, but there are some essential options that you need to invest in. And those are pretty much the three essentials is going to need. You're going to be the camera, obviously. Okay, We discussed about the GoPro. You're going to need batteries, you're gonna need spare batteries. So invest in one or two additional batteries from the one that comes with your Gabrielle, this will just save your hands and you're not even going to think if you're just going to grab your cobra and shoot everything because you have so much battery, you won't even think about battery. And also you might want to invest in a good SD garden, 128 gb or more, or even to SD cards. If you feel like, again, the more you invest in batteries, and the more you invest into SD cards, pretty much shooting with a GoPro becomes unlimited. You can as much as you want. The only thing that limits you from shooting with a GoPro is the battery life and the storage. And these two can be solved by investing in external batteries and investing in more storage with SD cards. So it is very great news that you can solve both of those problems with just a few bucks. So this is just amazing in my opinion. This is why I suggest you to go broke because with this law cameras, we would have another conversation right now. This is going to be the outcome if you follow again the advice that I gave you in this lesson right here, you can have more battery in your phone, again with the touch, the aspect of the camera from the phone, which means that we don't shoot with a phone. We don't open our phone that much, so we have more battery when our phone to actually do tasks that matter with their phone, e.g. you maps, colleague, cab, communicate with our friends, both perhaps some social media. We're going to have more storage in our field because obviously all of our videos are going to be stored the SD card of our Gerber. And then immediately from the GoPro, we're going to sort them in. Our file sorting system would be made in the previous lesson. So we literally full started on your phone. And keep in mind that if you have it clip, okay, lets you want to keep on your phone and you've sought with a GoPro, you can very easily transmitted from your PC to your phone. After you've sorted it out in the system, it is very important for all of the footage that you're sued to be immediately sorted in the system that we discussed in the previous lesson. In the name of the game is you're going to have more free time for you. And this is very important. Free time to experience new things in your vacations, free time to see your beloved ones, and did not again, time invested in just stupid looking to your phone to just creating mediocre videos that aren't going to be saved. Okay, We've talked about this many times in this course. Of course found sort things and be very, very easy when we talk about the system will create. And again, if you systemized capturing stuff with your GoPro and then immediately transferring the files from the GoPro to your system. This is gonna be flawless and it's gonna be very easy once you make it a habit. This wine introduction of this lesson, I talked about habits and how to break a bad habit, actually started a good habit. And of course finally, you're gonna enjoy your vacation time even more. And this is really what I want you to take from this lesson. All of this information that I'm giving you is the fact from the fact that I have been through this problem and I know how it feels. Go on vacation. You want to capture everything. You capture everything on your phone, but then all the footage is on your phone. You don't have it sorted somewhere. And once I've established this system of capturing stuff with my camera and storing them in my computer. This just made everything way easy for me and I'm pretty sure that it's gonna be the same thing for you. So this will have to say when it comes to minimizing your screen time. Now let's move into the next lesson. We're going to talk about decreasing storage capacity and increasing battery life. So this is what we are talking in the next lesson. 11. Saving Battery and Storage: Hello everybody and welcome to this lesson. In this lesson right here we're discussing it is gonna be a very brief lesson, by the way, when discussing about how to save battery and save storage. And I know that I've mentioned some basic principles on how to save the battery and how to save storage. And again, detaching the gamma aspect from your phone to a dedicated camera again while you're on vacation. So in this lesson we're just going to dive deeper. And again, those information because I want you to really understand it and I want you to create this good habit of detaching the camera or from your phone. So how to save battery and storage on your phone? This is our first goal. We need to have the maximum amount of battery on our phone and the biggest amount of storage available on our phone. Because again, we want to use our phone for the tasks that it is made for. So to communicate, to use maps, we've got a lot of work to do from our phone, went on vacation, so we don't want to overload it with also having all the camera down by the phone and storing all of our footage from the phone. So saving battery discharge on the phone. The first key is to just stop using the camera again. This is why we bought the GoPro, this wave invest on GoPro, and this is why we learned some basic videography principles in this course to again, stop using the camera off the phone. Next, we need to stop using it for storage. And this is going to take some time. Obviously. I want you to use your phone as a, let's say display bees. Okay? I want you to consume content from your phone if you want to, okay. But I don't want you to store all of your content to your phone, so obviously okay. It is okay for you to have some photographs in the photo gallery or some videos in before gallery of your phone, but please don't store all of your footage on your phone. I think that after the lesson in which we about file sorting and how to sort files and how to create folders and sub-folders based on location, based on the time, based on the camera, if you're shooting, the file sorting process on the phone seems very, very primitive. So I think that there is nothing more to discuss here. Okay, please minimize the usage of the users of your phone again, because we want to maximize the experiences on our vacations. We don't want to be behind the screens of our phones are going to be our number one enemy when we're vacation. So these are the three steps to again, maximize the battery and the storage capacity of our phones. Now let's move to our camera. We also want, of course, to maximize the battery life and the storage of our camera. We discussed about this previously in this course. The first step is not to shoot at the highest possible resolution. I know it sounds very intriguing. Start shooting at very high resolution. So K for K 6k5k. The thing is that high resolution, It's really the enemy of what we're trying to achieve here. Higher resolutions than to drain the battery way faster. And then to again create huge files which capture a big amount of storage. This is why in the resolution lesson of the scores, this is just a small recap. We concluded the best resolution, if they will be fine line between a great image with great clarity, grade sharpness, and again, not drainage of percentages of battery and this is 2.7 gates. So again, shoot most of the videos at 2.7 k. And now it's time to discuss about frame rate. We have actually discussed about frame rates in discourse. Holiday to get less than again on resolution and frame rate. Too small. Recap again, frame rates decide how much you can slow down the video in post-production, the eye views the world at 24 frames per second. So choosing the suit and the frame rate, such as 60 frames per second, enabled us to slow down Eclipse twice. So if we should add 2.7 k at 60 frames per second means that we can have a good image glory clarity with the option again to slow down the clips twice. So this is exactly the killer combination, 2.7, 60 that I want you to shoot with your camera. In addition to that, we don't want to have our camera always foods don't. Obviously, that's going to drain the battery very fast. So we're going to enable quick capture, which again is this button which we press and about in the camera automatically activates, it turns on and starts recording. So these, I want you to remember 2.7 k 60, enabling quick capture. And the final, of course point to, Let's say infinitely increase. Okay, battery and storage is to just keep as many batteries as you can and as many SD cards as you can with you go pros can virtually record forever as long as you again replace batteries and SD cards. So these are the four points that I want you to keep in mind when it comes to increasing the battery life and the storage capacity of your GoPro. So we've talked about increasing the battery life and storage of our phone. We talked about increasing the battery life and storage of our camera. Now, let's move to actually storing files into external storage. Because again, we said that we need to transfer files from our phone to some sort of computer or Mac or some computing device again, in which we can create those folders and sub folders, those folders and subfolders, I don't want you to store in the internal storage of your laptop or your PC or your Mac. I want you to store those files on a external storage. There are many reasons why you would like do this, and we refer to this as filmmakers. The first reason is that if you lose the device in which you've created those folders, all your footage are gone. And trust me, as the years passed and you start collecting foods, e.g. me, I have put it all the way from 2015. Up to 2022. Now, if I lose this footage, It's pretty much like I'm losing all of my memories, all of my experiences. And again, again, experienced those nostalgic feelings when I watch those movies again. So this is gonna be an absolute nightmare. This is why I always suggest people to invest on a external storage. There are two types of external storage. The first one is again, a hard, ragged external storage, just like this lady right here, and external hard drive. The second type is just Cloud Storage. Now both of those work perfectly. I think that the blind external storage, e.g. a. Cd drive, is faster than storing your footage at the Cloud. And also, the thing is that you can also lose a hard drive, right? So a hard drive can be destroyed, the handrail can be lost. A hard drive can be submerged in the water and again be destroyed. But Cloud Storage won't be destroyed, it won't be lost. It will always be in the Cloud. So it all comes down to personal preference of anybody. I store my footage on hard drives, but again, I know people that store their footage on the Cloud. Cloud storage is going to be a bit more expensive. But again, it all comes down. You can use both if you want, if you want to be secure, you can use both a hard drive and Cloud Storage. Now moving on to external battery options, obviously we can have, we can buy as many GoPro batteries as we can. This will prolong the battery life of a GoPro to the Mac. So again, you can have infinite GoPro batteries, which will give you infinite minutes of sitting with your GoPro. That being said, there are some battery options. This can power both your phone and your GoPro, e.g. these are biobanks. Biobanks can send power both to your phone and your GoPro. So this is gonna be a very good investment when you're on vacation because with Power BI and again, you can better. You can send battery both to your phone and your GoPro and guests. The GoPro has a portal that opens and you can directly charge it with a power bank. This is another of the reasons why I suggest you to buy a gobo. Another thing you can buy, which is very, very cool, is a solar powered battery bank, a solar-powered Burbank, which means that you can just have it hanging out of your backpack. And again, this will charge with the sun. So this is very cool because as you're on the move, this power bank charges, and again, it can send you to your goal and your phone. So this was pretty much this short lesson when it comes to battery and storage. I just want to mention some things when it comes to hardware. Again, cloud storage, battery options. And again, just to remind you of 2.7 K6 and some basic principles that we discussed when it comes to detach detaching the camera from your phone. I think that we're done with all the theoretical part of this course. I think that you are now comfortable and have actually mastered many of the concepts that we disgust. Now it is time in the next lesson to actually launch our editing software and start creating those movies from our vacation. So in the next lesson, I'm going to show you some basic editing principles to again, be able to create movies from your vacation. So see you then. 12. Post Production - Editing: So welcome everybody to the highly anticipated final lesson of this course in which I'm going to teach you how to edit down all of the beautiful videos of the captured during our vacations. Again, with our GAAP rules, with all of the principles of different principles that we discussed. How to save battery, how to save storage. All of those principles, gum to live with this final lesson right here, which is gonna be a big lesson on how to basically edit all of the videos into a beautiful movie. Because again, we're gonna have our files stored in our hard drives or in our Cloud drives. But don't want to revisit our vacations this way. We don't want to view it labored. We've got, or it's photographs like this one to create beautiful movies which role by themselves and just look great and create beautiful memories this way. So this is what we're going to do in this lesson right here. Now, small disclosure before we start. First of all, I have a complete course in which I teach you how to edit on Final Cut Pro for complete beginners, it is very easy and it has great reviews from people that have actually benefited a lot from this course. That being said, for this course right here, you don't need the same editing program as me to again achieve the same result. I'm going to discuss some very basic editing principles in this course, in this lesson. So feel free to again join my steps and follow along with any editing program that you want. This could even be an editing program if returning program from your mobile device. That being said, I'm going to be editing with Final Cut Pro. This is a professional program that I use again for my filmmaking business. But again, don't be stressed because we're going to discuss some very, very basic editing principles. If you're using a Windows PC, note that the best editing software do you use is Premiere Pro. If you're using a MacBook mixture to use Final Cut Pro, which is the best editing software for Mac. And again for mobile devices, you have an iPhone, you can use iMovie, e.g. is it very cool, free option as an editing software to use for iPads, I think I'll also, iMovie works perfectly now 400 points for Android phones. I'm not sure what's the best editing software, but again, I think you can figure it out. There are many free editing softwares out there. And again, the principles are going to discuss are not that advanced. And again, you can follow with any editing software. So enough talking. Let's actually launch our program and let's dive into how to add it again, those beautiful memories of yours into a movie to keep, to remember. Okay, So this right here is the interface of our editing program. And again, it might sound complicated, but everything is going to make sense by the end of this video. First of all, right, here we've got our timeline in which again we can see the different clips, all of these different clips that I've decided to use for this editor right here. In your case, you could just drag and drop all of the clips from your vacation. You literally drag and drop all of the clubs that you've done. This could be 100, 200 glyphs. Doesn't matter. You drag and drop them into your timeline and they will show in order. Right here. Above, you can see this display box in which you can just display, displays what plays pretty much. And now I'm going to analyze the strategy was we're going to follow to edit down our, again, vacation clips into a beautiful movie. Now, step one, when editing a movie from your vacation is just go through every single one of the clips and trimmed down the parts which we don't like. So pretty much we go in every single one of the clip and we trimmed down the beginning and the end which we want to keep. So let's just zoom in a timeline, e.g. this first clip is this drone shot of this dude right here falling into the water. And when of course, show the beginning. And right here when he falls into water, I think we can dream it. So I entered the blade tool and I deleted. This can be done in any editing software. Then we've got the sequence off this jeep, so we can just delete this. I think this is cool. This clip is not needed again, because we're going to import all of our clips modifications, many clips we're going to delete and not even using the final edit. This, I think it looks cool. Let's see the whole clip gamba thing that we're going to use the beginning. So right here thing we can do that out. Okay, see this clip was out of focus at the beginning here. And now the camera finds focus. I'm going to start the clip from here, and I'm going to end it. Let's say here. Now, same thing applies this clip. I think we cannot use it. And that the slip with a face than okay, this is a big deal. As you can see. You can see the fish here. I think we'll just keep the beginning of the video right here. So again, let's trim down the whole rest of the clip. It is done. Now we've got the beautiful waves during sunset, and I think this is the cooler part of the video, so we trim the beginning. Finally, we got this video of me writing the jeep. So I think they're beginning again is the perfect place for this clip to be displayed. This, I think again, the beginning we keep, this is pretty much a boring process, but again, editing is not that exciting. So. I think here we can keep it pretty much. You just decide which parts of the clips you want to keep and which parts you don't want to keep. So this is very straight forward. I think this can be used. And again here, okay, I think this is perfect. So now pretty much we've done our basic aid. God, this is a very basic gut. Okay, we just went from one clip to the next flip to the next flip to the next loop and just trim down the parts that we are interested in. Now the next part that I want you to focus on is that it does sound pretty much. Now in most vacation clips and in most movies from occasions, we are going to use music, music of our preference, music that matches the tone that we want to deliver. Because music, again helps delivery feeling to the viewers. And again, beautiful music with your memories is just a very wholesome thing. Now, what I want you to do is in clips that someone isn't talking and there isn't a great sound to be heard. E.g. this clip right here is again, just wind, the nose of wind so we can go ahead and display the audio, disable the audio completely. Same applies to this clip right here. Same applies to this clip right here. We don't see someone talking, so we shouldn't just keep the audio if it's windy, this won't help the song. Again, this same applies here. This could be it, but again, I think it's gonna be very windy. So let's disabled, disabled, disabled here also, disabled, disabled, disabled now, in your vacation Clips, obviously you can have some talking going on. And again, if someone talks, just keep the order there, don't disable it because again, will obviously we want someone to be narrating and you want the cool experiences of you talking to be displayed. But in this case right here of my edit, there or not, there is not much talking going on, so we can just disable the order completely on the complete edit. Now, we're done with the egg at again, the selection, of course, after we imported audio clips into a timeline. Now we have selected the parts of each clip that we want to keep when it comes to the audio and the visual parts again of the video, it's time to move and manipulate them as much as possible. So the first thing that you can do is that you can change there, again, placed on the timeline so you can have this clip playing first, this clip playing last. And again, we can just match a different vibe. Usually when it comes to vacation edits, you don't have to change. Again. The diamond in the timeline goes again. They will be automatically sorted by timeframe when important. So again, you don't have to change that in my case, which is those clips are pretty irrelevant together. I'm just keeping those clips with the kids playing the C together. And let's say that this globe right here, which is me driving, let's put it after the split within which we just prepare the Jeep. And let's grab this clip of the kids diving and put it last guy after the kids playing at the seat. So I think this is very cool because this again delivers a story. Again, the story for me preparing the Jeep, driving to this destination in which we faced then sunset. And the next day you can see the kids playing at the sea and of course, diving from the rocks. I can just create some sort of story again, but pretty much you don't have to use this. You don't have duplicate this because again, your application is going to be on a fixed storyline. So it's cool. Now, after we've done this, it's time to apply two or three different things that will make your videos way, way better. And I discussed this in the course that I've created when it comes to finally got video editing for beginners. The first thing I'm going to apply is slow motion. And what I wanna do is when I don't have a video of someone talking and have B-roll video. This is called B-roll video. This abstract video of just different things in different actions without someone talking to the camera, like an interview style or just vlogging. I always like to apply the effect of slow motion and this way encourage you to shoot at 2.7 60 frames per second, because 2.7 k again gives us a great resolution. And 60 frames per second enables us To slow videos down by 50 per cent. Now I know that all of those clips are salt with my DSLR camera. And I've of course, set the frame rate at $0.60 per seconds. So these can be slowed down at 50 per cent. The only thing that I'm afraid of is this clip right here, which is sold with my drone. And I don't remember if I had again set it at 60 frames per second or 24 brands and second, the thing is that we can select all of those clips and change their speed, slow them down by 50%. And as you can see, the timeline obviously increased the timeline. The length of the timeline increased by double because again, we slowed all the clips down by 50%. So let me show you this. This was this clip playing at normal speed. Again after we selected all of those clips and we slow them down. This is how it looks when slowed down. And you can see it's very smooth because again, we've sorted that sex difference or seconds, so it can be easily slowed down. Now, after you slow the clips down, you can see that the clip prolongs, it becomes bigger. So now we're going to also have to select the part which we like and keep the part that is more engaging. So again, we just have to trim the clips to our point of reference. So this e.g. is a point of reference, starts here. And obviously, as you're dreaming eclipse down and make sure to actually play and press Space and play the movie from the beginning. So I think this e.g. is enough. Again, just trim it down here. And this is also enough. We can trim it down. Moving on, we have this globe right here. I think that, um, we're gonna keep this part. So again, we just dreaming down, we're adapting to the new standards after we slowed everything down. Again, this, we need to give the movie as engaging as possible. So let's just start from here. We got this. Great. Let's move on to this clip. The freezer we got. It's a bit out of focus, but again, it's fine. It's, those are amateur movies here. So again, let's assume each year. So again, let's trim this clip down right here. Then the next clip, see everything is slowed down, just looks way better. We can trim it down right here after the wave hits. Then we've got the kids. And you can see the magic of slow motion. It makes everything looks so much more cinematic, so much cooler, so much better. And this is really a way to make your videos look so, so, so, so much better. There you have it. And then we've got this clip, oh, which is actually sold at 60 frames per seconds so we can actually slow it down, slow motion applied. And I think this is a perfect way to end the movie. Now we got the perfect a gut. The gut is again, if after we've trimmed and set the slow motion, again, do speed that we want in all of our clips. Now it's time to actually apply two or three more things that will make the videos look cooler. The first thing we're going to apply is the song of your preference. Now, obviously, you can just add any song that you want. Let's just add a random song. So I'm not going to get very in-depth and where to find music and how to find use it. I just imported the random sound effect from my editing software, Final Cut Pro so I can close this music tab and we've got this Havana theme music going on. One thing that I wanted to focus on is that you are called to edit. The optimal scenario would be for you to actually edit the video to your music. This means that wherever there's a change on the audit track that you're using makes you to actually apply a gap on the video in that chain. This will make the video look way better. Again, if you are more curious on editing and transmitting is one of the most important and useful skills to know in the 21st century on our times. If you're curious and editing, I just encourage you to go ahead and check the other course that I have when it comes to Final Cut Pro editing. This is a key course than in about an hour or 2 h. I teach you everything that I know about fungal probe, which is perfect. Now, for now, for the sake of this video, I think that if you apply the principles that we discussed in this lesson right here, which means that we import all of our clips from our storage to our editing program. Then we trim our clips down to the preferable size. And again, we keep the cool parts inside. Then we slowed down the clips in which we're not talking to the camera. Again, to keep the story flowing, we change the duration and the timing of the clips again to keep the story flowing and not yet our viewers board. Then we add music. Finally, we're going to add v final piece of this very basic editing, random here, which is a title. Titles are very cool and just import drag-and-drop with all editing programs have titles. Titles are pretty much a great way to just introduce the viewers. Thank you, very, very cool theme to the veal. So again, let's write to this title summer 2020 to do right here. And we can change many parameters in this editing software mind. So right here we can see Summer 2020 to put it in the middle of the frame here. This is it. So pretty much, this is a very basic edit. Okay, How to very basically edit videos from your hard drive, from your Cloud Drive in the beautiful movie.
