it's beautiful outside today
spending a day at home on the weekend has become a routine for me
I use this time to create vlogs which is becoming more enjoyable and therapeutic
even though it usually takes a really long time to film it by myself
I prefer my vlogs to be filmed from a fixed angle, having a tripod definitely helps a lot
the camera I'm using is Sony a6000 which I have owned for about 5 years now
I don't much about cameras but it's interesting to learn how to use it professionally
checking a few settings before starting to film myself
I've been looking at a number of newer camera models
even though I love this camera, there's a minor constraint about this camera when filming alone
the screen cannot be flipped which make it hard to monitor when I'm standing in front of the camera
before starting, I go through a few notes I took
and adding in a few things I want to focus on while filming
now it's time to test the frame and sound
sometimes I do this a couple of times to get the right angle
rewatching to make sure it's ok
I think zooming in a little bit more is better
for every scene, I like to take it from 3 different angles
a wide angle to show where I am
a closer angle to show what I'm doing
this means I have to constantly stop, start and moving around
that last angle is to show the details
when tripod doesn't work for some angle, a tissue box works wonder
I love filming inside the house
especially when my cat is sleeping, he is the nicest when he's asleep
he is so used to the sound of camera that he doesn't care anymore
sometimes there can be limited things to film inside the house
then I film the view outside my windows, especially when the day changes
I film and edit on the same day
some creators might not like the editing part
but I love this part
this is when the story is coming together
this process usually takes 4-5 hours for me
and just like that my day has gone by and this has become my new weekend routine
thanks for watching!
