4. Adjust Speed

Vlogging is a way to connect but have you thought about the speed limit in a video? Relax there’s nothing like a speed limit, the speed mentioned is about the one used in the video.

Make your video more presentable with proper lighting and color concept. Bring out the best using all the beautiful tints to video so that people can see through your lens in a meaningful way.

Travel video is meant to be soothing and rich with the essence of happiness, so choose music that is neutral and elegant.

People who are going to watch are not just selected communities but also specifically able people. Adding subtitles will increase the chance of reaching your video to every individual and definitely, that will portray your thoughtfulness as well.  Subtitles not only help them but also those who speak languages different from yours. Subtitles help in better understanding and more and more people will feel connected to your videos.
