全民vlog時代來了!
To shoot a scene of people eating food, you need two different perspectives. To record a bus journey to school, you need three quick cuts. To complete this short, morning rush-hour video blog – or "vlog" – you need four pieces of music.
要拍好一組人們吃東西的鏡頭,你需要兩個不同的角度。要記錄一段坐公交車上學的路途,你需要三個快門。要完成這段早高峰的視頻短博客 (vlog),你需要四段音樂。
Vloggers have these techniques in mind as they film their daily activities for followers to enjoy online. With more than 90 million vlogs available online, and 2,000 posted every hour on the YouTube video-sharing site, CBS News says they are mainstream with people born after 1995.
拍攝日常活動視頻與線上粉絲分享時,短視頻博主心里都會想著這些技巧。目前,全網的視頻短博客數量已經超過了9000萬,在視頻分享網站“優兔”上,每小時都有2000條短視頻上傳發布,哥倫比亞廣播公司新聞頻道認為,這些短視頻在“95后”中成為主流。
Vlogging has taken China by storm over the past year as more young Chinese people have become inspired to grab a camera and recount the details of their day on Sina Weibo, Bilibili or WeChat Moments.
去年,短視頻拍攝席卷中國,越來越多的中國年輕人開始拿起相機,在新浪微博、嗶哩嗶哩彈幕視頻網站以及微信朋友圈里講述生活中所發生的細節。
"The most important thing about vlogging is to tell a good story. Other visual effects are auxiliary," wrote US vlogger Casey Neista, who has almost 10 million subscribers on YouTube.
“拍攝短視頻最重要的一點在于講一個好故事。其他視覺特效都只是起輔助作用,”在優兔網站上擁有近千萬訂閱用戶的美國短視頻博主凱西·內斯塔如此寫道。

Chinese vlogger Wang Xiaoguang is an example of a good storyteller. In one of his popular vlog posts, Wang tells the story of traveling to Japan. While there, he took a ride in the wrong direction and got lost.
中國短視頻博主王曉光便是個不錯的故事敘述者。在他的一條熱門短視頻中,王曉光講述了自己去日本旅游的故事。在那里,他上錯了車,然后迷路了。
Worse, he forgot to bring a phone charger. Luckily he was able to borrow money from a stranger and escape trouble. His short but entertaining video stories have gained an amazing 1.72 million followers on Sina Weibo.
更糟糕的是,他還忘了帶手機充電器。幸運的是,他向一個陌生人借到了錢,擺脫了困境。他好玩有趣的短視頻故事在新浪微博上吸引了多達172萬粉絲。
Another key aspect of vlogs is that the content is based on everyday life, according to Ouyang Nana, 18, a young Chinese musician. Studying in the US at Berklee College of Music, she documents the life of a college student. Ordinary as vlogs are, as many as 15 million fans share her wows and woes on a daily basis.
18歲的中國青年音樂人歐陽娜娜認為,短視頻的另一大關鍵要素在于內容要基于日常生活。就讀于美國伯克利音樂學院的她記錄下了自己的大學生活。通過這些日常的短視頻,她與1500萬粉絲分享著自己每天的喜怒哀樂。
Some other popular vloggers choose to show their careers – the challenges and setbacks, as well as the rewarding moments.
一些其他的熱門視頻博主則選擇展示自己的工作 —— 其中的挑戰與挫折,以及有所收獲的時刻。
Take a look at the vlogs by Peng Yixuan, a news reporter with China Daily. She recorded her first experience attending and reporting on the two sessions in March of this year. From choosing an outfit to preparing her story, she presented the conferences with a relaxed, chatty and personal approach, "bringing more warmth" to the grand political event, according to People's Daily.
看看《中國日報》記者彭譯萱的短視頻就明白了。今年3月,她記錄下了自己首次參加報道兩會的經歷。據《人民日報》報道,從選擇著裝到準備報道,彭譯萱用一種輕松閑聊式的個人視角呈現了一場場會議,給這件政治大事“增添了更多的暖意”。
There are popular vlogs for beauty, gaming, fashion, food and travel.
網上還有關于美妝、游戲、時尚,美食以及旅行的熱門短視頻。
