Let it rain

This is my summer vacation, unemployed, no school to worry about, every job application sent out ended up nowhere. It are just daily running, improving my filming and editing skills and learning Italian three things dominating my life.
To make great film you need great story. Any footage taken is supposed to be serving the story and narrate. Without a story the footage you put together cannot be called a film, it's just a pile of raw footage. And I didn't realize that until last month, before that I always thought put video clips together throw some music in and that's a film. Little did I know about how magical just editing and choosing the right scene to compose the right rhythm can be.
I remade one of my old videos, a trip to Lido with a bunch of friends, it was basically raw footage with some simple scene transitions, now I look back it was just downright primitive. I re-edit the whole thing and put some decent music, now it felt like a film, not just a pile of trash footage.
One of the reason why vlog isn't that much attractive to wide audience is that vlogging generally involves a person rambling about his life, very detailed and possibly faithfully reflection of his life but it cannot be a work of art, it's raw. There must be a story and the whole episode should be revolving the story, to make emphasis on that one theme, make it intense and rhythmic. Shorter but express more by the most appropriate cutting.
