Читать книгу Get Rich Blogging - Zoe Griffin - Страница 34

Vlogging – unlike blogging – requires some start-up costs. You will need a camera, lighting, sound equipment and editing software, and these aren’t cheap items. However, do you really think your favourite vloggers could afford state-of-the-art equipment when they started making videos? I can tell you for a fact that they didn’t. Many of them were teenagers and bought basic equipment, which they learned to use well. They didn’t upgrade to better gear until their videos started to bring in some money.

This chapter will explain how to minimise start-up costs and use what little equipment you have to make the best possible videos. No prior knowledge is necessary. It doesn’t matter if you’ve never even switched on a camera before, let alone tried to frame a shot. Humans don’t come out of the womb with a video camera in hand and an innate knowledge of what to do with it. Zoella, Alfie, KSI, Tanya and Jim have another thing in common – they all had to learn how to be filmmakers.
