Write a detailed script for your video.
A detailed script is an essential part of a successful travel video. Even if you're just using the video for your own blog or website, a detailed script will help you stay focused and on track. If it's going to be a YouTube video, having a detailed script will also help make sure that your content stays interesting and consistent. You don't want to bore people with too much information or not give them enough context for why they should care about what they're seeing in the first place.
The best way to start writing a detailed script is by brainstorming all of the things that could happen in your trip—especially if this is your first time making travel videos! Then write down what happens when each thing does happen, including where it happens (the exact location), how long it lasts (how many minutes), who are involved in each situation (who else appears on camera), etc..
Decide what type of video you want to make.
It's important to choose a topic that you're passionate about. You should be able to talk about it for an hour or more if you have to, and you should be able to find lots of things to research. If your audience is going to sit down and watch a video, they want it to be interesting!
For example, I do travel videos but they usually aren't very long: maybe 10 minutes tops. But each video features at least one location that I've been before and know well enough that I can speak confidently about all aspects of the local culture (like customs).
Get to know your audience.
Knowing your audience is the first step to making a video. It's essential to get a feel for who your viewers are, what they like, and what they need. You should also understand how they feel about certain things and what it is that they want to hear most from you.
If you're able to understand all these traits of your audience before making videos, then creating content will be much easier because it will come naturally. You'll be able to see which type of content works or doesn't work with them and adjust accordingly so that every video has something for everyone.
Be the face of your videos or not?
When you are starting out, it may be easier to use your own face in the videos. You can then establish trust with your audience that way and they will feel more comfortable watching a video with someone they know. If you want to try this method, make sure you use a camera on a tripod or selfie stick (or even just hold the phone). This makes sure that all of the shots are smooth and steady, which helps people relax when watching them!
If you don't want to use yourself in any of your videos and prefer something more professional looking, then we recommend hiring an actor or actress for this part of the video. This way, it looks like these were professionally made instead of just shot by an amateur using their phone!
Choose the right equipment for your video.
To make quality videos, you will need to invest in some equipment. A tripod is a must if you plan on doing any traveling with your video camera. The stability of a tripod makes for much more professional-looking footage and allows for smooth transitions between shots. In addition to the camera itself, it's important that you use a microphone that can pick up voices from far away or even over background noise such as traffic or airplanes; this means investing in an external mic (and maybe even an extension cable). Lighting is also important because it gives off that all-important atmosphere for your video; if there's not enough light then everything will look dark and unappealing. Even if there's plenty of light available, try adding some sort of fill kit so that shadows don't appear on faces during interviews or when recording behind-the-scenes footage like packing up after shooting has completed!
Editing software comes into play after filming because it allows users like yourself to put together their clips into something cohesive while making sure everything looks great too!
Uses lights, camera and microphone angel.
When filming, you will want to use a tripod. This allows you to keep your camera steady while recording. It’s also good to use a microphone that is not too far away from your mouth so the audio quality doesn't sound muffled. The sound should be clear and crisp, but not too loud either because it can cause distortion in the video. You could get away with using a cheaper microphone if necessary, but we recommend investing in something professional grade like this Blue Yeti USB Microphone for around $100:
Video Editing Software.
Many people use video editing software to add effects and transitions to their videos. Video editing software is a must-have for creating professional looking videos. It can be very expensive, but there are free alternatives available. Here are some examples of popular free video editing software:
Lightworks (Windows)
DaVinci Resolve 15 (MacOS)
Shotcut (Windows)
Learn how to edit videos yourself.
Video editing is the most crucial part of making YouTube videos. If your content is good but your video isn't edited well, viewers will lose interest quickly. You don't have to be a professional video editor, but you should know how to edit videos yourself.

If those programs aren't enough for you, there are plenty more advanced options available online—just make sure that whatever program you choose has templates for creating travel-related content (e.g., slideshow slideshows) in addition to simply cutting clips together into a single file!
Appeal to your audience's emotions.
You can appeal to your audience's emotions by using emotional triggers.
Music: Music is a great way to gain an emotional response from your viewers. For example, if you're making a video about a vacation, you could use songs that are associated with vacations or that have lyrics that describe the feelings you want your viewers to experience while watching the video.
Humor: Humor is another way to get people interested in what you have to say because it makes the content more memorable and engaging for them. If someone tells me about something funny they saw on YouTube, I'll probably remember it for longer than if they tell me about something serious or boring!
You can use these techniques by adding text over images or videos as well as adding music and/or graphics before uploading your finished product onto YouTube (or any other platform).
Use a catchy title, description and thumbnail for your video.
Next, you need to choose the right title, description and thumbnail for your video. The title should be clear and concise. The description should also be clear and concise but it's not as important as the title since most people won't read it before watching the video.
The thumbnail is what will draw viewers in first (if they don't click on it by mistake). Make sure it stands out from other videos so that people will want to click on yours instead of theirs!
Travel videos are serious business on YouTube
The most important thing you must know about YouTube is that it is the second largest search engine in the world, and the second most popular website in the world. It's also the second most popular mobile app in the world and social media platform on Earth.
