My First Vlog!?!?!

The goal of the video was to be an introduction about myself and who I am. It was to show things I like to do and put myself out there in the vlogging world. 

I think I did a good job at accomplishing my goal because it was not anything big. I really just wanted to get it over with confidence and feel comfortable with the new activity. Since it was a new experience that takes practice, I am happy with what I made. 

I think I could take a little more time with planning it out but I do want to keep it mostly freeform. I feel more comfortable with my performance if I just be me and talk about things that come to mind.  

I do not think I will vlog again but I do want to start making videos about what I like doing. 

My favorite YouTubers would be a couple gaming channels like Kyroz,MarcoStyle, and BasicallyIDoWRK. 

I like these Youtubers because they all have their own funny personalities and have fun with what they do. It’s more of what I would want to do. They also show effort in their video.

They are all funny and do have talking points but it is definitely more freeform. It is better because they just record and take highlights of the funny things they do. It is less scripted and makes it more entertaining.

Authenticity is being genuine and real. To me, it shows that they put a different type of effort into their work and are actually being themselves.

Performance is staging something to have a better show to the audience. It shows effort because it takes prior thought and planning. 

I believe they are opposites but can exist together. People have genuine moments but can definitely enlarge them to help put on a show to make it more likable. They both require heart and a way of expressing yourself. 

I believe the one at home is more authentic because it is them in their own true environment. They are at their home and are not performing in front of people literally. The one at the studio is more performative as it is on a set and there is planning. But I do believe both have aspects of both sides to fully have the best effect on the audience.
