So, I was watching one of my favorite youtubers and I began to wonder.... how does she set up all these camera angles of herself and at such early hours in the morning? it must be something fairly easy because she was able to film herself with only like 15 minutes sometimes before she had to head off for whatever else she was doing next in her day. and then I saw it. her phone was in a shot and I noticed something peculiar on the back of it. where as most people had popsockets or stick on wallets, she had a sticker with many little suction cups, and it was in that moment that I understood! she could stick her phone to literally any kind of glass or metal surface! I haven't tried it out yet, but I think this means I can vlog in my car by sticking my phone to the touchscreen display? it's either that or the rear view mirror and that doesn't seem as legal lol. (this vlogger's name is Cora btw)
which brings me to my next thought: who the heck am I to have so many interesting things to say everyday? and I think that approach is outdated and I have two hot takes on it. one, is viewing the camera as your best friend. someone that is everyone that you simply bring along with you so that neither party feels alone. and in a sense, it's true because there are literal viewers on the other end of the camera if you end up being successful.
the other take is actually inspired by an emma chamberlain video. one day she posted a video that was different from her usual style. instead of talking to the camera casually, she filmed her life in a series of aesthetic shots which she then pieced together cinematically with the most fitting instrumental music. it felt like her life was a casual Wes Anderson film and somehow she made it look effortless and achievable. it probably takes years of being a vlogger to pull something like that off, but now I know this style of vlogging is out there so maybe I'll find ways to allude to it. (in time lol).
and maybe there will be days where I have things to say! I just don't want to force that aspect of things especially when I'm not much of a big thinker in my free time anyway. actually, these days I'm more of a lounger but that's not going to translate very well so I'll have to turn to sewing, and taking care of my pets to create content. but I'd also like to film more casual daily parts of my life, like commuting to work and opening shifts. I think it would be fun to document that journey!
"get ready with me as I work the opening shift as a barista at a coffee shop" ! something like that.
where can I sticky my phone to capture what my car sees? hmm.. not sure but I'm hoping it'll just come to me.
and then maybe another video of how I like spending my days off. like hiking at rocky peak, and thrifting in simi!
and then after that I have no idea. but let's start here for now haha
wish me luck!! <3
ps here are some things I'm waiting in the mail for...
