What's a vlog?

Short for a video blog or video log, a vlog is a blog in video form. Think of it as your own little TV show or channel, only it’s on the web, produced by you, and presumably starring you (or maybe your super cute pet).

Tips to create a vlog

1. Be interesting

- You are the story, so make your own vlogs interesting with humor, travel experiences, animal encounters, life’s failures, challenges: dares, trends, pranks, and sports.

Your own interesting opening:

2. Watch for Trends

- Part of keeping your vlogs interesting is keeping up with current social media trends. This is also a great way to get noticed by other subscribers. Keep up with popular YouTubers and create your own version of a challenge they have done.

What trends would you talk about?

4. Practice Talking to the Camera

- Vlogging can be challenging and awkward if you have just started. Being confident while talking to a camera in public takes time and practice. When you finally feel comfortable watching yourself vlog, your audience will too. 

Have you practised with the camera before?

5. Cool Transitions and feel-good music

- Spice up your vlog with unique transitions. If you’re using music in your vlog background, a good tip would be to sync your transitions with note changes or base drops in your music track. 

Which song would you put in your vlog?

6. Reduce Shaky Footage

Here are some ways to reduce the inevitable camera tremor:

-Practice filming and watch your videos back – take notice of your footage stability

-Consciously be aware of controlling your shake while filming
