1, the relationship between point and line
Essentially, they are two parallel lines without any intersection, which seem abstract, but on the surface they are points and lines. The short videos we see are all bits and pieces of the photographer's life, or they are deliberately made by themselves, but vlog records the bits and pieces of life. It is a line composed of many points, so it can't be a surface, because vlog only records some fragments of the author's life, not all.
2. The duration is different
Because of the different nature of content, short videos are mostly paving the way for an instant outbreak. If it takes too long to stimulate the user's interest, it will be counterproductive, so a short video within 15 seconds is enough for him to play.
Different from short videos, vlog does not have a wonderful scene that breaks out instantly, but more is narration. Just like reading a novel, it gradually brings users into the theme, and uses the storyline in the video to provoke users' emotions and make them have interactive behaviors. Therefore, the length of vlog is generally controlled within 3- 15 minutes.
3. Different production costs
Time cost: Most short videos will take no more than 2 hours from shooting to production, and some can be released to the platform in just a few minutes, but vlog needs to capture the author's whole-day clips and then edit them, which is much more workload than short videos.
Money cost: At present, some vlog authors, like short video authors, have negligible investment, but in the fields of food and tourism, the investment is still very large.
