Introduction
To buy a brand-new shoe you decided to be a tour guide to gain more money. The travel agency calls you that you were accepted to be a part-time tour guide and guide in some famous city. You were excited because you would get money and travel at the same time.
Task
Pair with your friend, and make a video of you performing tour guide with these steps:
• Choose a city (Paris, Singapore, London, Bali, Rome, or Bangkok)
• Make sure you know the city you choose
• Wear the same costume as your partner
• Prepare some photos of tourist attractions from the city you have chosen (make sure the photos have a resolution above 720p or 1280x720).
• Set the photo you got as the background when performing tour guide; you can use greenscreen for the best option.
• Prepare a travel route from the photos that you have chosen.
• Make sure you record in a quiet environment so that your voice can be heard clearly.
• After you are ready, record yourself doing a tour guide with above 720p resolution.
Each group must speak constantly and equally. Your tour guide must be in 5-10 minutes.
Process
#1 Understanding the tour guide
Before doing, make sure you understand what a tour guide is and how to do a tour guide. Visit this link to find out what a tour guide is https://www.careerexplorer.com/careers/tour guide/ After understanding it, check out the following link of virtual tour guiding example video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5X-Wu6xy9xQ.
#2 Research the city
A tour guide must understand the city they will guide, so you must understand the city you choose; below are the links to several cities that have been arranged:
• Paris (https://www.cometoparis.com/paris-guide/what-to-do-in-paris-s938 )
• Singapore (https://www.planetware.com/tourist-attractions/singapore-sin.htm)
• London (https://www.visitlondon.com/things-to-do/sightseeing/london-attraction/top-ten-attractions)
• Rome (https://romesite.com/attractions.html)
• Bali (https://www.planetware.com/tourist-attractions-/bali-ina-b-b.htm)
• Bangkok (https://www.planetware.com/tourist-attractions-/bangkok-tha-bk-b.htm)
After understanding what a tour guide is and the city you will be guiding, determine your travel route to keep your guide on track.
#3 Record your tour guiding
After you have understood all the models, it's time to prepare photos as tour guiding materials. You can use https://www.picjumbo.com to find images with good image quality or https://www.google.co.id/imghp. Now, after the material is ready and you are already wearing the same costume, take your camera and start recording your tour guide activities; you can use a green screen to make it easier for you to edit the background. For video editing software, you can use Filmora at https://download.wondershare.net/filmora-idco_full1901.exe for direct download or use the application you usually use for video editing.
When performing a tour guide, make sure you:
• introduce yourself
• improvise your speaking
• interact with your partner and your viewer
The time is yours, so make sure you give your best performance.
