Just looking at the comments affirms this \u2013 we only wish we could make videos for <em>every<\/em> destination!<\/p>\n<p>While these videos are a treat to watch, they\u2019re just as enjoyable to produce. Our recent trip to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.com\/Jordan.dx90\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Jordan<\/a>\u00a0is testament to that. Brimming with rich culture and unbelievable vistas, Jordan is one of the most intriguing travel destinations not only in the Middle East, but the world. This country of spectacular desert scenery and ancient monuments is more than a destination, it\u2019s an experience \u2014 and so too was making the\u00a0<strong>video<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Our <a href=\"https:\/\/viewfinder.expedia.com\/video\/jordan-travel-video-incredible-itinerary-ideas-for-planning-a-trip\/\">Jordan Vacation Travel Guide\u00a0<\/a>showcases the rich history and culture of this sun-baked country through stunning visuals and a soaring soundtrack. With so many spectacular attractions and experiences to capture in Jordan, the folks at Tourism Media (one of our content creation partners) had a big challenge ahead of them to piece together this video travel guide<strong>, <\/strong>which might just be our favorite yet.<\/p>\n<div>[video_embed maxwidth=&#8221;738&#8243;]<iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/_EkO2ofPOXg\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe>[\/video_embed]<\/div>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Stage 1: Planning the shoot<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The first step in making the Jordan video happen was selecting it as a destination of interest for travelers. Shoot co-ordinator, Rohan Trundle, is part of the team in charge of planning the Expedia shoots, which involve a lot of time, research and tourism industry outreach. \u201cShooting Jordan was one of the biggest surprises of my year and I\u2019m so glad our photographer Jon Reid recommended that I include it in the schedule,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n<p>To start the process, Rohan researched the most popular spots and dug for hidden gems before plotting them all on a map. He put together an itinerary for the photographer, Jon, which made ticking off the shot-list a breeze. Rohan\u2019s work helps turn a destination from concept to reality, and really sets up the project for the video creators. \u201cPrior to arranging the shoot, I had no idea that Jordan was such an amazing country,\u201d Rohan says. \u201cWhen dealing with local contacts, I found Jordan was full of incredibly friendly and welcoming people, part of a complex and multi-layered culture. And the scenery is unbelievable!\u201d<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-47071\" src=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.com\/stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/2017-09-19-05.44.09-2-1.jpg\" alt=\"Sunset in Jordan. An Expedia photographer captures the last remaining day light. \" width=\"1000\" height=\"563\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Stage 2: Shooting in-country<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Our cameraman extraordinaire, Jon Reid, is a guru behind the lens. He\u2019s captured many of the world\u2019s most beautiful, fascinating and memorable places, but that doesn\u2019t mean he\u2019s immune to being wowed by a destination. Case in point, Jordan. \u201cEvery day spent in Jordan was special,\u201d Jon says. \u201cIt was completely different from any other place I had ever experienced so it felt magical all the time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the epic attractions on land, Jon also loved to turn his camera skyward. \u201cJordan has beautiful night skies, so I really enjoyed photographing the stars. A very wide lens is important for star photography so my 12-24mm lens was indispensable,\u201d he says. In fact, every angle of Jordan proved a frame-worthy moment, so much so that Jon returned for a second trip to bring back even more spectacular footage.<\/p>\n<p>For his first trip, our intrepid photographer drove himself around in a rental car. If you\u2019re thinking of doing the same, Jon recommends buying a local SIM card to have access to data, because we all need maps!<\/p>\n<p>On his second trip, Jon traveled with the help and expertise of a local driver and guide. It\u2019s something he recommends first-time visitors do as well. \u201cYou will learn a lot more about the country that way and it removes all the stress of traveling solo,\u201d Jon says. Not only that, he covered a lot more ground and \u201cate incredible meals\u201d. Well, you can\u2019t argue with that.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-47241\" src=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.com\/stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Nabataen-Theater-in-Petra-Jordan-1.jpg\" alt=\"People walk through the Nabataen Theater in Petra, Jordan\" width=\"1000\" height=\"563\" \/>Stage 3: Writing the script<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The scripts for our vacation travel guides certainly don\u2019t write themselves. From the compelling raw footage of Jordan, scriptwriter Johnny Danalis had no shortage of inspiration.<\/p>\n<p>Before a script begins to even take rough shape, a massive amount of research goes into the destination. The longer you look, the more you find there is to learn and that couldn\u2019t be truer for Jordan. According to Johnny: \u201cBefore starting the project, when I thought of Jordan, I thought only of the ancient city of Petra. Most people spend a night or two in Amman and go on to Petra to continue their Middle Eastern journey. What we learnt, however, is Jordan offers plenty to keep you busy for at least a couple of weeks.\u201d You\u2019ll see this in the video, as one shot of glorious monuments, jaw-dropping landscapes and rich culture follows the next.<\/p>\n<p>Diving into Jordan was an immersive experience for Johnny, who says he \u201cfollowed the fascinating crossroads of history\u201d and familiarized himself with the culture and landscape of a \u201ctimeless country.\u201d In fact, Johnny was so enthralled by this Middle Eastern jewel that he\u2019s planned a bike ride for this year, which will take this pedal-pushing scriptwriter from the north to the south of the country.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-47240\" src=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.com\/stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Behind-the-scenes-for-composing-the-music-for-the-Jordan-video.jpg\" alt=\"Earphones lay in front of a computer showing composition software\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" \/>Stage 4: Composing the music<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The enchanting soundtrack accompanying the beautiful footage is all thanks to Jacquie Joy, one of Tourism Media\u2019s talented composers. Being one of our longer videos, Jacquie says she \u201cgot to write a piece of music like it was for a film.\u201d More than just complementing the landscapes, Jacquie explains that it was important to marry the soundtrack with the narration. \u201cI had the challenge of linking the words to the images because the footage would be of old ruins in the desert while the narrator was telling stories of dancing girls and gladiators,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n<p>Historically, the music in our Travel Vacation Guides has been aligned with the visuals. However, in this case, Jacquie focused on enhancing the <em>story<\/em> through her evocative composition.<\/p>\n<p>This was the first piece of Middle Eastern music Jacquie composed. To get it right, she listened to endless hours of the genre and studied the instruments that make it sound so unique. \u201cI wanted to stimulate people\u2019s imaginations,\u201d Jacquie says. The result? Viewers can almost picture the thundering armies of old kicking up the red earth, or the world that once existed when the desert ruins were whole; and through the sounds, modern Jordan comes alive.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-47073\" src=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.com\/stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/29f6014c-0a63-45a0-9b1e-757af969da7a1.jpg\" alt=\"In the final stages of editing Expedia's Jordan Travel Guide. \" width=\"1000\" height=\"561\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Stage 5: Editing the video<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>From the treasure trove of footage captured, it\u2019s up to the editing team to put together a visual narrative. Matthew Sawyer, who heads the editing and publishing of the videos, also fell in love with Jordan. \u201cI learn so much about the world every time I edit one of Expedia&#8217;s Travel Guides. With Jordan, it was a feast of knowledge, not only about the culture and cuisine, but the passion and dedication of the people who have lived there over the millennia,\u201d Matt says.<\/p>\n<p>When pulling the video together, it was important to have a cohesive thread linking the shots, from the capital <a href=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.com\/Amman.dx375\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Amman<\/a> to the ancient city of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.com\/Petra-Wadi-Musa.d180620.Vacation-Attraction\">Petra<\/a> and the shores of the Dead Sea. \u201cThe sun is a motif in this journey, and Jon made sure to capture some amazing footage with the sun glinting through ruins and mountain peaks,\u201d Matt says.<\/p>\n<p>He also notes that each image lent itself to some amazing color grades during the post-production process. This allowed the team to \u201cplay a lot with light and shadow to show the amazing textures this location has to offer.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>View all our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.com\/pictures\/middle-east\/jordan.d90\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">photos of Jordan<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #000000;\">See Jordan for Yourself<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Jordan has got the goods for the culture-loving traveler.
