Although we do not need road in the whole road movie, we can find road movies always have flowing and changing shots, dynamic road-music and especially beautiful sightseeing. Natural scenery is always very attractive, in road movies, the scenery is also one of the reasons to attract people to see it.
Maybe I can do more practicing about shooting the scenery and shooting the adventure during the travel.
The reason that I am introducing the road movie is I really love travelling, I always have so many ideas when I was editing the photos and video footages from travelling time, and I always want to try and shoot some Relatively intact videos during travelling. Few years ago, I have made some videos about things happened in my travelling time, which is not very good and now I am going to use the skills from class and do much better than before. Apparently, another big problem for me equipment, I cannot help hand-shaking when I was filming, sad……
I have seen many of the road movies: Mad Max series, The Hangover 1&2, Easy Rider, On The Road and so on, I think interesting thing is not only happening in the movie. When I was travelling with my family or my friend even by my own, interesting and interesting always happen on me or around me.
In the film the road, there are many circumstances in different time periods are interspersed play, mostly in flashback show. In this kind of film, how to edit fluently, you may need to be more concerned about.
