Why vlog? Connection. Or more accurately, more points of connection. If an ordinary video provides connection between you and a viewer, and it does, then a vlog, filmed often over the course of a day, offers more points of connection. In my case these connections would include feeding the small birds around my home, baking,… Continue reading Why vlog?

Making videos with my iPhone-an experiment
Today I am going to make a video with my iPhone, as a type of experiment. I want to see what the quality is like-that is, the audio and video quality-and see how it feels and what problems, if any, occur. The reason for trying this experiment is the fact that we almost always have… Continue reading Making videos with my iPhone-an experiment
Two types of vlogging
I have an interest in the art and science of vlogging. A vlog, according to the Cambridge dictionary, is defined as: a video blog: a record of your thoughts, opinions, or experiences that you film and publish on the internet Vlogs, and vlogging, are not the type of videos which have led me to grow… Continue reading Two types of vlogging
Structure of a vlog (Part 2)
I wrote yesterday about the structure of a vlog which one guy (Itz SKY) who I follow on YouTube gave as the standard structure used in television shows which is standard and should be used in your vlogs.

I am fascinated by the vlog concept, the idea of making something interesting or useful from the ordinary, everyday, banal. Some of them have done pretty well, some have disappointed. But the one I published this week is one of… Continue reading The performance of the least edited video I have every published is surprising
Daily or weekly vlogging
I am interested in this idea of regular vlogging. Daily vlogging was a big trend a few years ago on YouTube but tailed off somewhat when the High Priest of daily vlogging, Casey Neistat, stopped doing it. Nevertheless, I came across a guy on YouTube at the weekend who is doing it and has apparently… Continue reading Daily or weekly vlogging

I wanted to see how any such YouTube channels were getting on, how popular, how many subscribers, and so forth. There does seem to be good deal of interest in such channels although some of… Continue reading Solicitor diaries vlogs-worth trying, I wonder?

Vlogging can be defined in a number of different ways and story based vlogging is one of the most popular and advised as the idea is that the storyline in the vlog will generate and retain the interest of… Continue reading A missing piece in the puzzle of vlogging
Vlogging and storytelling
I’m fascinated with this idea of making better vlogs using storytelling. Finding a story that is interesting or entertaining or which will hook and retain a viewer in one’s ordinary, everyday life. There must be a story, no matter how trivial or apparently inconsequential. And I want it to have 3 acts, as in the… Continue reading Vlogging and storytelling
