Get to know Peter Lindgren

One of the rising stars in the YouTube community is Peter Lindgren from Sweden. He started with photography four years ago when he needed pictures for his own clothing brand. The interest grew and in 2017 he started his own YouTube channel. Today Peter has several hundred thousands of followers and the numbers are increasing every day on his channel where he uploads new videos every week. So far, over several million viewers have seen his inspirational films about film making.

1. Create a story

A video does not have to be complicated or appreciably deep to catch the viewer, but it needs to have a clear story. Before you get started, create a rough storyboard that contains a start, centre and an end.

 

2. Good audio makes a difference

What I think is one of the most important aspects of telling a good story is not just how it is filmed, but also how good the audio sounds. I always carry a good microphone in my bag, and it is something that can greatly increase your video quality. Find SARAMONIC BLINK 500 WIRELSS SYSTEM FOR IPHONE here. 

 

3. Great exposure with ND filters

When recording vlogs or videos, one of the most important things is to set the exposure right. When you are on the go, it is great to have a variable ND filter to pop on the camera so you can safely film on wide open aperture whether it is a sunny summer day or if it is cloudy!

4. Choose your angles

There's probably nothing better than having a GorillaPod with you when you shoot YouTube vlogs. Being able to set and attach the camera anywhere gives you a variety of different angles you can use to make your videos more interesting. Find JOBY GORILLAPOD BALLHEAD 3K PRO here.
