Story

Vine photography is a relatively new hobby that spans several years. Young people under the age of 20 are members of short video groups. The application that creates the clips was acquired by Twitter in October 2012 and has since become widespread. In 2013, it became the most downloaded on the iOS App Store. Today, over 40 million people from around the world use this tool..

Vine is easy to identify by signs, because not all short videos that can be found on YouTube or Instagram are vines. Features of the 6-second clips are:

How to make vine

Vines are shot on smartphones in the Vine application, which was developed for the operating systems iOS, Android, Apple. Now it’s very fashionable to shoot videos in the style of Stop Motion. This is not new in the world of cinema and animation. The essence of this method is to create video by frame-by-frame photography. You take one shot, then make a minimal change to the scene, repeat the shooting. The process is long, but the result is worth it. Advantages of Stop Motion:

• Heroes can be toys, for example, people from Lego, or created independently.
• Time-lapse photography does not require sophisticated equipment.
• An interesting result that captivates the audience.

For a good study of the video, it is better to use additional editors where you can make vine videos with music, for example, Magisto. This is an application that installs on a mobile device. The downloaded video is analyzed on a remote server, where the emotional component of the video is determined, “strong” frames and more are highlighted. You can select the background music and the genre in which the video will be edited.

An application like VivaVideo is also useful for editing videos. Here you can put together photos taken using the Stop Motion method, as well as shoot video up to 5 minutes long, which is enough for vine. Here the clips are cropped, various effects overlapping and more. VivaVideo has advantages for winners. In the application, you can choose the style of “vine” to create the desired video.

What program can I do

The Vine Video application, in which the video is recorded, allows not only to take pictures, but also to do the operations necessary for editing. Here you can change the recording speed, “apply” sound, make music louder or quieter, add different filters. You can insert pictures and photos into the movie. Video recording is carried out by simply tapping the screen with a finger and holding it. The video does not have to be whole. It can be removed in parts. The result will be a movie resembling GIF animation.

Who is a weiner

The person who shoots short videos in the application of the same name is called a weiner. Everyone can become one. To do this, the program is installed on a smartphone or other suitable device and a funny script is thought out. The actor in the video is the producer / director himself or other people, animals, objects are used. The story should be capacious and funny..

The result is not always expected – not everyone is given the talent of a screenwriter, director and cameraman at the same time, but this is a great way to test your abilities. If you’re ashamed to show your video to your friends, then this is not your “hobbyhorse”, or you lacked the skill and experience. Try, try.
