Feedback on Camino YouTube channel

[alongthecamino]

Hi everyone! I'm fairly new to making YouTube videos about the Camino de Santiago. It's mainly about my experience and to help other people plan their Camino de Santiago. I would love if people from this forum help me out by checking out the Videos and giving me some feedback! I'd love to hear about what you guys think would be helpful to others who want to make the pilgrimage! Thanks so much in advance.

Hi Stephanie! Thanks for posting. I'm in a computer with no speakers, so I cannot comment on your voice or video sound, just on image and captions, so I will restrict my feedback to this:

Pros:
- very good lighting, you found a good spot and your face looks great.
- good topics (for this video and for the other ones)

Cons (only two things, seems longer because I added suggestions):
- no variety of images (maybe you could have added some photos relating to the topics you are talking about? Or image effects/numbers or subtitles of each item?) I noticed you showed a few things on the "packing light" video, that was more interesting.
- some repetition on your talk. As it is a short video, it's ok to repeat something, but try not to use the same expression/phrase too many times in such a short period of time.

In general I liked, you look friendly and passionate about the camino. As it does not have many imagery, felt more like a podcast to me, though. I will listen to the other ones when I get home and have proper sound

Do you plan to make videos about specific sections of your camino?

Personally, I'm not offended by pilgrims letting their feet air out when they stop to eat. Many of the bars/restaurants in the smaller villages cater to pilgrims, and unless you are walking around with bare feet, or putting them up on the table I don't really see the problem. I would usually take off my shoes and socks and put on my sandals for the time that I'm at the restaurant.

I think that shorter videos are more effective. You could cut quite a bit a time by not repeating things so much.
