Family Trip

This video is a Vlog video with my family. Vlog is a video word that combines video and blog and is video content posted by many YouTubers. I strongly put the theme of my travel diary with my family. Another feature is that I wrote Korean and English together in the subtitles. The license plate of the car and the faces of the people walking on the street are covered with mosaics. In the intro, there are 4 types of videos. Also, Niagara Falls is shown slowly, and it tells you that my video begins. At the beginning of this video, I used a skill that seemed to go over the film.
