I put together a Powerpoint and, alongside it, small notes to read along with it. However, instead of presenting it to the class, we were set another task to present it on film in the style of a video blog.
Firstly, I did some primary research on Youtubers who also vlog. I looked at Zoe Sugg, Dan Howell and GloZell.
On Dan's channel (danisnotonfire), I saw his videos were mostly clearly spoken; well edited; well lit and also clean from any offensive language. Also, he rises the camera a little above his head so that you get a slight angle of the entire room, and it's really pleasing to the eye.
On Zoe's channel, it was very similar. However, with Zoella's videos there were slight changes like background music, and her backgrounds were a little brighter than Dan's. Also, on her page, she edits the thumbnails so that they match certain seasons, like the picture you see is all of her Christmas videos, which is easy to locate and pretty.
Finally, on GloZell's channel her vlogs were different. She still had a huge amount of subscribers, but her videos were more carefree as she doesn't really care how she looks or sounds. The lighting is completely untouched and some of her videos aren't cut at all. You can also see how she has a theme of big, green writing on her thumbnails, which links to her name GloZell Green.
With a little secondary research on this website, I saw that Dan and Zoe were highly rated for their vlogs, and, even though GloZell is very popular, she hadn't gotten a mention on the websites I looked on.
This helped me decide that I wanted a clean, well lit, nicely cut video (or try to, at least) for my own vlog.
