how to film yourself & make your vlogs cinematic

[@anshutirkey7]

miss linh is miss no gatekeeping🌟

[@exclamation_mark..]

Agreed

[@eevaneee]

i agree but remember that Linh isn’t a miss! :)

[@magicalmysterymilli]

Yeah, and now that we have the fundamentals we get to apply it on our own creative way

[@_jaslife_]

THE THUMBNAIL...omg😮...so good ...

[@pixelzebra8440]

FRRRRR she literally makes the prettiest videos ever like ever ever

[@Housewarmin]

The hardest part I have about vlogging is sometimes I feel like I don't have time to set up the perfect shot, because I want to be in the moment with my friends. I have tried to get the perfect clip of me eating, only to realize I'm more focused on the shot than actually being present at dinner with my partner.

[@b.knotty]

I hate being home and having to reheat my food from me trying to get the “just right” (I don’t do “perfect”) shot 😂.. Ima foodie so I love seeing the location, menu, what you ordered and I like to hear thoughts on the experience and if it was good or not. Your partner is a human tripod lol.. Before going to dinner (to mentally prepare them lol) ask your partner to get a couple shots of you while at the restaurant (you can even practice beforehand lol).. shots of like either behind you walking to seat or from the front you walking to table or if you guys hold hands while walking, while waiting for food ask your partner to record 10-15 seconds of you from where they are sitting or mid way through the meal or towards the end..if you can’t prop your camera or phone up. Just communicate and time it right lol. I just watched your Seattle comic con vlog and I was like okaaaaaay 💁🏾‍♀️ lol. Stay creative Queen✨

[@Housewarmin]

@@b.knotty”okaaayy” in a good way or bad way 😅😅😅 I tried my best. lol thanks for the tips btw!!

[@b.knotty]

@@Housewarmin There’s certain shots I know I probably wouldn’t do or get so I have to come up with something different. Omg, no no no no no.. okaaaaay 💁🏾‍♀️ is good!😅🤦🏾‍♀️

[@ghravel]

I feel the same way! Sometimes I think a trip would make a great vlog but then I don't end up filming anything because I feel like it takes me out of the moment. Especially if I'm with another person, I would rather enjoy the moment with them and it can feel a bit rude sometimes to be pulling out a camera. That's why I'm not so sure I would want to ask my friend or partner to film me as b.knotty suggested; I'm sure they would be happy to, but I worry that the moment might feel more like a production or manufactured moment than an interaction that I want to enjoy with another person.

[@Leada1ne]

One thing I've learned as a "Vlogger" myself.... it's almost NEVER perfect, but this is the reason why vlogs are so important to the platform!! It's the closest thing for viewers to real life on KZbin... you got this, keep goin!! #VloggersUnite 🤗

[@mothmin]

to quote one of my film school instructors, a lot can be visually forgiven (aka it doesn't matter what you film on) if you have really good sound! there's so much possibility when using sound to enhance short films, vlogs, etc. and i love doing it

[@c.luna26]

I must say your vlogs remind me a lot of Wes Anderson films which are total cinematic masterpieces

[@maizerelli]

I loved getting a glimpse into your creative process because I'm honestly obsessed with your videos. You have the gift, for sure.

[@boundlessoul_studios]

Right after you said “here is an example of how important sound is” I got an add for Shein with the worst background music and was like yep you’re right lol

[@nicolikesnarwhals]

10 seconds in and this video already has such a lovely ghibli esc vibe ;u;

[@saralcraaft]

You really have come so far and one of the most amazing things is your videos have never looked bad, they've just grown up with you. That is rare and something to be proud of.

[@lootengstudio]

Just in time for my trip to Japan next week! Can’t wait to take cinematic vlogs during the trip! ✨🌸

[@ChantelleArts]

Linh covered EVERTHING, we can do this!! 🥰🥰

[@koiheadphones]

New linh vlog!!! Long awaited photography tut!

[@crochetovert]

THE THUMBNAIL IS SO COOL!!!!!! I LOVE YOUR TATTOOO

[@lotsoflovemadelief]

THANK YOU! I am leaving to travel the world, starting in Europe, this summer. I will document EVERYTHING because I loveeeee making cute cinematic vlogs!

[@jennavarro4793]

this is so random and doesn't really relate to the subject of this video but Linh!! I started watching you during the 2020 lockdown and I really miss my friends back then. you were that friend I had (I associate you as one) during the worst and darkest moments of my life. you inspire me to be more outgoing and to go out of my comfort zone especially when it comes to being creative and self-expression. Thank you so much for existing.

[@JesseNyberg]

Amazing breakdown Linh, Love your color grading so much!

[@tessarose8430]

wow. i'm always so blown away by your ability to see and execute a vision so beautifully. i'm not even a content creator but i'm so impressed and inspired by your work. thank you for sharing more of your process with us!

[@moonweepstonight_]

Llihn you're such a vibe!! I literally adore each and every video you make, each and everyone so precise and perfect. The fonts, the bgm, the cinematography. I'm so in love!!

[@SloantheBeast]

I learned so much from this video. I didn’t even think about utilizing Pinterest to visually create a mood board/shot list as well as to further curated color grading! So good

[@kaylafayrie2.0]

finallyyy someone talks about the color grading in to all the boys I've loved before LIKE OMG that blue and yellow

[@sunnynacia]

hii ! what's mindblowing is, i've been off youtube for a while and this video was one of the first recommendations on my homepage when i opened youtube today after deciding that i wanted to (re)launch my channel and make more cinematic videos. crazy how the world works !!! thank u sm for making this (also, i'm so excited to binge watch all of the content i've missed from ur channel these past months)

[@KingaGorski]

Big yes to that last point! I really appreciate when edits are well-cut to the beat and rhythm of music. So vibey and crisp. 🤌

[@clarynlab]

Hi Linh, I’m a massive fan of you since the early days. I have always been into art but I felt like I never exercised my creativity for too long now. I’m frustrated and have always wanted to create a vlog but never have I ever felt confident and your vlogs are my biggest inspo!! Thank you for always sharing your learning it gives me hope 😂🥹 one day I will 😭 one day

[@lpsgore]

i started editing a video today and i just came across this, just thought it was amazing timing as your one of my favourite youtubers and have been inspiring me to come back to youtube for awhile now

[@quarzita]

I HAVE SOME QUESTIONS! 1st. you walk around holding your camera constantly all time and never ever out it away? 2nd- im very talkative so i struggle cause i can talk about my day like 10 mins and i think that takes up the video- how do you deal with that?

[@samaaaa7]

This was so informative!! Would love a whole video on color grading, it would be so interesting to see your process ❤️

[@syajourney]

Love this kind of tutorial vlog, instead of the professional video that makes me feel bored 😍😍

[@itspearlmarie]

i so so so love ur vidsss!! i've been watching ur vids since first year of college, and now im on my fifth haha! ur vids gives me comfort and warmth, and it's like im personally friends with u lol. love ur aesthetic, creativity, and specially ur personality!! love you a lot, linh!!! wish i could meet u someday!!!!!

[@KristianaTu]

linh my life and my love, please please make a video explaining color grading and color curves!! it's the only thing i don't understand and i think it'll make my vlogs so much better

[@tanushreee]

just love everything you make

[@clairewulf]

i don't vlog but this video is amazing. i don't have a great setup for filming (i'm currently living in a room in a boarding house with very little natural light) but i can still use these tips to make my videos more interesting. thank you!

[@sherry98549]

Words cannot explain how much I love linh💕💕💕💕💕

[@clarawolff1]

This could not have come at a better time, I’m preparing for my first vlog! Thanks for all the tips 🌸

[@dailymotivationclips540]

i love you positivity. thank you

[@SUNNYITADORA]

........... How can you not love Japan.... like- ima show this to someone when they wanna visit and show them what they're walking into. I visited twice for my bestie and IT WAS AMAZING- I felt so peaceful, met a couple of hotties, and literally had the BEST FOOD EVERRRRR---. I loveeee Japan omg.

[@MaisyMinton]

I’ve been very interested in starting my own vlog channel when I go into college next year. I’ve been watching your videos since middle school, and I’m now a Junior in high school. Thank you so much for making this video, and it’s helped me to get started with my own channel 🤗🤗🤗.

[@kafs6838]

could you give tips on copyrighted songs and such? where do you usually find your music and sound effects? if you use copyrighted songs, what do you do?? these things have always confused me

[@beesnuts2918]

this is JUST what i needed for a midnight snack :3 (before cramming studying for tests, of course)

[@TaeJPG]

Seriously, great input. I know the chances are you'll never see this but your comments during the filming segment about the technical aspects involved was so genuine. As a newer photographer / videographer, I also struggle with this and will likely continue to do so as I begin a vlogging journey. It's really refreshing to hear others express these thoughts in truce as it can really feel like everyone else just... "knows" what they're doing. Lovely video and great tips!

[@acupofteawithmeesh]

Thank you for being so generous with tips for vloggers! Excited to try some things~

[@lhmthw]

on a random day KZbin randomly suggests me this video and now I have a new favorite content creator. Please keep doing what you're doing, love your vibe ✨✨

[@lhmthw]

và tr ơi pồ không chỉ quay dựng design xinh mà pồ còn nói tiếng anh rất hay nữaaa

[@bryinasia]

Thanks so much for making this video!! As a new creator, ive been trying to figure out ways to make my videos pop out a little bit more and my GOODNESS do your videos look SOOOO GOOOD 😍 I've always had trouble making things look "aesthetic" so this video really helps a bunch!!

[@Ludovikacf]

Amazing video, I love the way you compare each phase with your beginnings. It becomes a pretty real and compassive content ✨

[@Jenniesvisualdiary]

Thanks for the breakdown. Pls What’s category can cinematic vlog be set on in the KZbin studio?

[@janesombese]

“The art of noticing” thank you! ❤

[@Victorias_corner]

[@HER47DAYS]

Thank you so much. I'd love to learn more about creating a cinematic look with color grading.

[@katviray]

this video taught me a lot and inspired me to make my own vlogs! your vlogs are always so aesthetic and I hope to be like you one day 💜

[@lucysterloff]

i LOVED THIS SM thank you for this video linh!

[@marielsuarez007]

Hi Linh!💗 quick question: did you see any tutorial to get to know better color grading? I want sooo bad to use all the features of color grading but idk if you can recommend any video tutorials or something like that, please?🌸

[@LilianaStevens]

[@DadVanture]

If you use the footage you have walking back to your camera and mirror it, you can double the shots you have to work with

[@dhvanibunneh]

Using sound like a producer tag is genius!!

[@graghoul]

[@sanghamodak8885]
