1
- All right, what's up guys?
2
This is Thomas, and in this video, I'm gonna show you how to make your first ever travel video in three easy steps.
3
Obviously, I'm not traveling right now.
4
I'm in the beautiful London, so I'm gonna take you away to some epic locations.
5
Let's cut to that. and then get started.
6
Step number one is you're going to select your shots around the story.
7
The biggest beginner mistake is you shoot everything aimlessly, pointlessly.
8
You go around, you see cool thing, you shoot.
9
You see cool thing, you shoot.
10
You get shaky footage, you get bad angles, you get too many shots.
11
You come back with five terabytes of footage
12
that you're never going to edit
13
and it just sits there whilst you slowly weep the pain away
14
that you're never going to see the video that you wanted to make in the first place.
15
That's not what we want.
16
So instead, you're going to select your shots around the story.
17
Think what is the story?
18
What is the video you want to make?
19
What is the story you want to tell?
20
So let's say you're going to Bali.
21
Instead of just shooting a load of random shots of Bali, you're thinking, "What is the story?" "Okay, where am I going?" Right now I'm in a hostel and I'm going to go to an epic beach.
22
Okay, that's the story how I'm getting there, and then when I arrive, that's probably like the climax, right?
23
And then the ending might be a beautiful sunset with the beach, with the mission accomplished.
24
That's your basic story.
25
So get shots around that story.
26
Tastes like charcoal that's been blundered.
27
That's actually a good point.
28
Tastes of charcoal.
29
We're both gonna die, mate.
30
Let's try to slide some over here.
31
That's a good idea.
32
So that's what you'd have in your mind.
33
You've got your rough beginning, your rough middle, and your rough end.
34
From there, you're going to shoot each part of the story, and also importantly, the transitions between each part of the story, which leads me on to step number two.
35
All right, step number two is that you're going to shoot for flow.
36
What I mean by this is that you are continuously thinking about where you are now, and how you're going to arrive where you're going to arrive.
37
I mean, both literally like obviously you need to be thinking about this if you want to travel, But.. the same way with your video.
38
So a typical thing I see from the beginners inside my online courses is that they will create montages, which means it'll be like, Here's a shot of us in the hostel.
39
Here's a shot of us on the beach.
40
And then here's a shot of us with a drink.
41
and I cut them together And then it's, I wonder why I don't have a story.
42
And I wonder why I don't have a cool travel video that engages people.
43
So you've really got to think about the flow here.
44
How do you get from place to place?
45
How are you going to take your viewers with you?
46
How are you going to create suspense and excitement about where you're going, about where your viewers are going to come with you?
47
So, If you're doing this visually without any vlogging or talking to camera, then what you can do is just make sure you get those transition shots.
48
You can even think about some cool transition effects, such as whip pans or maybe covering the camera and revealing somewhere else.
49
You can only do these things with a little bit of forethought.
50
When I was in Bali a couple of years ago, we had to do this exact thing.
51
We had to go from a hostel.
52
really early to get to a beach to actually catch it for sunrise.
53
and I could have very easily
54
got a shot of me waking up in the hostel and then a shot of us on the beach, but then I wouldn't have had a video.
55
Instead, the whole story and the whole climactic moment was the effort to get to the beach, which actually turned out to be a nightmare.
56
Me and George were driving around these motorcycles in the dark, not knowing where we were going.
57
having no idea how to get there, asking locals, people who are up at 4 :00 a .m in the dark with their chickens on their farm, asking them where we needed to go in a completely different language.
58
And when we actually got there, Oh man, it was such a...
59
climactic, incredible moment because we felt like we'd achieved so much and been through all these adventures to get there.
60
So really thinking about the flow of the video is what's going to capture your viewers' attention
61
and make sure they stick with you whether that's doing visual transitions, showing those journeys, or whether that's telling the story in a more vlog style.
62
All right, finally, step number three is to let your tracks, your songs, dictate the structure of your video.
63
This is a mistake I always see.
64
People just slap on a track and then that's it.
65
They don't edit to the track.
66
So this step kind of comes in layers.
67
The typical advice you hear, which is great advice, is to cut to the beat of the music.
68
It's a surefire way to make your more amateur looking video seem more professional.
69
However, a step further than this is to let your track dictate the structure of your video.
70
So a song, a piece of music, has a beginning, has a middle, has an end.
71
It has climactic moments, it has more downbeat, chill moments.
72
So ideally, you're going to want to search for a track, that will reflect the rough story that you have in your video.
73
This is assuming that your video is shorter, by the way.
74
This is assuming that you're working on maybe a three or four minute video.
75
It's a whole nother topic if you're making a 20 minute, 30 minute vlog.
76
That's for another video, but If we're talking about, okay, we want to make a nice short punchy three or four minute video, then how are we going to pick a track?
77
Well, if your video has
78
chill morning where you're chilling out getting a coffee
79
and then in the middle you know something crazy happens
80
or you go on this adventure and it's more kind of epic and and at the end it's chill again, you want to find a track that represents that.
81
You want to find a track that has a chill beginning, builds up to a climactic moment and then has a chill end.
82
When you have that track, you're then going to edit your video to each section.
83
You have to be quite ruthless here.
84
So let's say your morning shots, you have like five minutes of footage or like 10 minutes and the chill section of that track is like 45 seconds.
85
you're going to have to cram those 10 minutes into 45 seconds and make some ruthless decisions
86
taken out a lot of material to get the bare bones, the best stuff that just tells the story that just looks great, to get into those 45 seconds.
87
This, by the way, is how professionals make videos.
88
Do not think that when I go out and make a travel video, every single shot is great and I just have unlimited options of shots.
89
No, it's usually I'll get You know, 20 minutes of footage for one scene, and then I'll use 30 seconds of it, or one minute of it.
90
So it's rather than everything I shoot is amazing, it's picking the amazing bits from the footage and only putting them in the video.
91
So once you do that to the chill section, and then you use your transition footage to transition as the music transitions, to the more exciting, more adventurous section,
92
and then the music might get more emotive, more emotional.
93
As you close off the video, maybe give some nice philosophical thoughts.
94
on your experience, or maybe let the visuals do the talking of the sunset or the sunrise, whatever it is.
95
Your video is going to end along with the track, and that is really how you make an emotive video to a song that just works perfectly together.
96
It's getting pretty chilly here in the park now.
97
If you would like to get a list of gear that I use for all of my videos, a list of gear, if you're a beginner, what gear to use, if you are intermediate, which gear to use, if you're a professional,
98
which gear to use, then just download the gear list, which is in the description of this video.
99
By getting that gear list, you'll also get a bunch of tips and tricks that are going to be sent to you in the newsletter, as well as exclusive opportunities to join my online programs.
100
All right, guys, until next time, see you in the next video.
101
Keep filming.
102
Bye -bye.

为什么通过这个视频练习口语？
在这个旅行视频制作的教程中，您将学习到如何在简易的三个步骤中创建自己的旅行视频。观看和模仿这种内容不仅可以帮助您提高英语口语能力，还能够增进您对叙事结构的理解。在整理一段“视频故事”的过程中，您涉及到的场景和表述能让您的口语表达更加生动和具体。此外，通过反复影像的方式学习，您还可以掌握自然的语调和节奏，增强您的交流能力。这种学习方式被称为“shadowing”，即通过模仿视频中的发音和语调来提高口语能力，非常适合想要参加雅思口语练习的学生。
上下文中的语法与表达
在视频中，演讲者使用了几种关键的语法结构和表达方式，这些都是学习者应该注意的要点：
- 选择镜头时围绕故事展开 - “Think what is the story?” 这句展示了如何围绕中心思想组织思路，对于讲述故事和表达观点至关重要。
- 强调过渡和流程 - “How do you get from place to place?” 通过这种提问方式，演讲者引导听众思考逻辑的连贯性，强调沟通的流畅。
- 使用动词时态的转换 - 演讲者在讲述过去的经历时，使用了简单过去时和现在进行时的结合，帮助学习者理解叙述的时间感。
- 求助与建议的表达 - “You can even think about some cool transition effects.” 这种建议形式可以帮助语言学习者理解如何友好地表达个人观点和建议。
常见的发音陷阱
在视频中，演讲者包含了一些可能会给学习者带来挑战的发音。尤其要注意以下几点：
- “video”与“videoing”之间的发音差异 - 这个词在不同的语境中发音可能会略有不同，注意听和模仿。
- 过渡句的流畅性 - 比如“from place to place”，在快速说话时，流畅度是提升自然交流的关键。
- 口音因素 - 演讲者的口音可能和您平时接触的英语有差异，仔细聆听和重现，可以帮助您更好地适应各种英语口音。
通过上述的练习和技巧，您可以在“shadow speech”和“shadowspeaks”中不断进步，使自己的口语表达更加自信流利，从而在雅思口语练习中取得更好的成绩。
视频中的语法
说话人最常用的结构，并附上视频中的原话：
| 结构 | 视频中的用法 |
|---|---|
| 定语从句 who / which + 从句 — 补充说明人或事物 | montages, which means · people who are · hear, which is |
| 被动语态 be + 过去分词 — 强调发生了什么，而不是谁做的 | been blundered · be sent |
什么是跟读法？
跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧，最初开发用于专业口译员的培训，并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大：您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同，跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性，语调，节奏，连读，听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
