Crafting Great Travel Films

Описание: How do you put a great travel film together?

When you're in the field, it's important to really know what you are going to shoot, and how it will fit into your story. Of course, sometimes the best things happen in front of the camera when you least expect it, but it's good to have a solid basis that you can work with. So think, watch and assess before you even think about hitting record!

When you get home, if you have shot a lot of footage, the process of editing might be extremely daunting. And it is - so we're here to help you out.

Here are our tips for organising your footage for the edit:

1.) Review your material and log it in a spreadsheet. This will give you you a much better perspective of everything that you have shot.

2.) Do a paper edit. This gives you a chance to truly investigate what kind of story you want to craft in your head, before you fire up your timeline.

3.) Build a rough story arc that you can edit to. This allows you to craft dynamics, emotions and highlights from your adventure.

As you can see, there is more to taking an audience on a journey than simply showing them where you are. Just remember, good travel films still adhere to the basics of storytelling.
