My roommate and I together searched web site after web site looking for a vlog to post. At first we agreed that they were pretty interesting but the more we watched, the more similar they all seemed. So instead of finding a creative one with meaning I decided to do one I have an opinion on. When looking on youtube.com, I began searching and came across this video. The camera work is very simple, there is some added sound affects, and the girl is the main focus. She frequently changes her distance shots between a mid shot and medium close up. This adds a little bit of interest so instead of just watching her talk and listening, the scene changes to keep the watchers attention. The real thing that got my attention was what is actually being said. The fact that this girl is sharing her life story on the internet for anyone to watch in my opinion is too open. She seems dependent on making the videos, as she has multiple posts, and continues creating new ones and being completely open (For those who don't know, this is an actress so her series isn't real, but still!). 'Vlog dependency' as you could call it, seems to me something that could really pick up as vlogs become more popular. This particular one is proof that you don't have to be great with a camera to have a vlog. As long as there is emotion expressed, peoples attention will be drawn.
