How to do video interviews........................................17 2 What is Vlogging? 3 n today's digital world where every aspect of your life can be lied about - your real Iname, how you actually look and talk; showing your actual face even in the virtu- al world can make people trust you more. Since the inception of the internet, millions of people from across the globe have been expressing their opinions, conveying their thoughts and giving useful tips to others; using platforms like Blogs and Social Media. However, YouTube was probably the platform which was a Game Changer. Video blogging changed everything! What is Vlogging? A video blog/viddeo log/vlog is blog format in which video is the medium instead of text. Vlogs often combine embedded video (or a video link) with supporting text, images, and other metada- ta. It can be uploaded on any popular Social platform that supports video. However, YouTube is the go-to place for almost all. Vlogging is for Everyone You don’t need a professional camera or high quality production equipment to create an interest- ing Vlog. All you need is a good sense of humor and an ability to freely express yourself. House- wives, teenagers, teachers, sportsman..almost anyone with a penchant for creative self expres- sion can give it a shot! Business Vlogging is another trend that it fast catching up. Uploading interesting and informative vlogs about your business and company culture can give customers a sense that they really know you and can trust you. How to get started? Before you start creating vlogs, you need to wisely choose the platform where you want to show- case them. Arguably, YouTube is the best platform to get started. It has a vast user base with all kinds of people and is also easy to use. Some of the other platforms that you should keep in your mind before taking the decision are: 4 Making Money ($) Allmost all the platforms mentioned above have a revenue sharing model with the content cre- ators on their platforms. YouTube shares 55% of the ad revenue with the creators. Of course this can be miniscule in the beginning stages of a vlogger’s career andmight not suffice to cov- er even the production costs (if you have to build custom sets or buy costly editing software etc); it’s a start nonetheless. And setting everything up is pretty simple to! All one needs to do is enroll for the YouTube Partner Program and connect their Google Adsense account. Types of Vlogging For any YouTuber, one of the fundamental ways of building a fan base is through consistent video uploads. But coming up with a new idea every week can be incredibly difficult! If you have an understanding of different types of content that is popular with people, it might get a little easier to conceptualize. So here are the different types of vlogs that people follow: 1.Fashion Sharing beauty tips and reviewing fashion products is a big thing on YouTube! Some of the popular vloggers who are into this type of content are: Michelle Phan, Zoella, Bethany Mota, Carli Bybel etc. Just dropping the name of a beauty product in their vlogs can get them pay- checks worth thousands! That’s how popular they are! EX: Michelle Phan has the ability to turn herself into Princess Ariel to Khaleesi with simple brush and strokes. Phan is being hailed as the beauty mogul who recently started her own beauty line called “em” in collaboration with L’Oreal. Last year she raised $100 million to value the company “Ipsy” at over $500 million. When you talk about beauty with a brand, Michelle Phan is the first name that strikes immediately. 5 2. Culture: Most countries from around the world have their own unique culture. There are several vloggers who showcase such uniqueness to people from other parts of the world through their videos on YouTube. Casey Neistat, Casper Lee and Damon Fizzy are some of the examples. EX: Scott Ackerman’s YouTube channel “Unrested” dares to cover the topics the apologists wont He is a vlogger who dares to dig deep into the horrific underworld of creepypastas from Japan. He shares his stories, and focuses most of his vlogs on Japanese culture and living. 3. Interview: You don’t have to start your Vlog by interviewing the president. Go out and find a story out of people around you. There are enough stories if told, can create great content material. A good interview should follow a set of guidelines like a vlog, but feel unscripted. As an interviewer your job is to make your subject do the talking, not the other way around. EX: Marie Forleo’s mission is to help you realize your greatest potential and use your unique talents to change the world. She reaches over 350,000 readers in 193 countries worldwide and leads dynamic training programs that teach individuals to succeed in business and life. She’s been featured in Entrepreneur Magazine, Fast Company, and was named by Oprah as a thought leader for the next generation. 4 Event: Attending popular events like comic-con, wimbledon etc., and then showcasing it to your follow- ers is also a good way of building a vlogging career. Attending such seminars, events and prod- uct launches can help you showcase the behind the scenes - something that the general populi doesn’t get to see often. Also, because such events will be trending on social media platforms like Twitter, it gives the vlogger an opportunity to piggyback on the popularity. 6 Using your regular smartphone with a high quality camera is all you need to capture interesting moments at an event. With the rise in popularity of short form video platforms like Instagram and Vine, you can even record 15 second/6 second videos and create a montage portfolio to attract more people interested in the topic. For instance: You can record your college’s lectures and educational seminars and convert them into your personalized video catalog. 5. Tutorials: YouTube offers a huge audience for Makeup tutorials and product tutorials. Channels like Pixiwoo (created by sisters Samantha and Nic Chapman) have video tutorials like “POISON IVY Halloween Makeup & Hair Tutorial”, “Snow white winter makeup” etc., that are loved by their predomi- nantly female teenage audience. Makeup accessory brands love such channels and pay a hefty amount to reach their target audi- ence through these vloggers. However, all videos shouldn’t look promotional. Such product place- ments have to be very subtle in the video, without compromising on the overall theme of the channel. EX: YouTube channel, “Kipkay” nails the “how to” video concept. It has devoted an entire tab for “how to” tutorials that has a range of videos from buying raw materials – the best meat in the market – to making delicious recipes. 6. Product Review: YouTubers reviewing electronic equipments, clothing accessories and cosmetic products fall un- der this category. You can review the latest smartphones, ipods, eyeliners etc., and give out inter- esting and useful tidbits that regular people can rely on before buying the product. Tech brands like Apple, Samsung,Sony etc., hire such talents and pay to get their products reviewed. Just think about how happy you get when someone refers you a good product, and now start thinking about how you can make your audience feel the same wIndia who’s word comes to being a holy grail en 7 Creative animated videos are effective and are hard to ignore. They can help you explain a concept in just 60 – 90 seconds and keep your audience engaged. Even brands like Netflix, Heinz, Red bull, Breadcrumb etc., have adopted this method as a means of first touch point with their customers. Addressing social issues and explaining educational content to kids can become much easier through such animated vlogs. EX: Dominic (aka Domz), the author of Domics has a dedicated this blog to share his comics with the world. His videos include everything from the first experience of moving to a new place to talking about buttocks in animation. Enjoy! 8. SELF Talk: This is by far the most common type of video that bloggers upload. You just need your webcam, the time and a topic that you have insights about. This type of vlog is jokingly referred to as the “video rant” – the blogger appears to vent out his frustrations while delivering his insights on the subject. EX: Judy and Benji Travis are daily vloggers from Seattle. This couple was behind the YouTube channel ItsJudysLife (which boasts over 1.2 million subscribers) which raised more than $200,000 for the char- ity Convoy of Hope. Their daily vlogs are just perfect. Naming Your Channel Now that you have decided the type of Vlogging channel you want to create, you need a nice and catchy name for it. Names can play a huge role in just how successful and popular your channel gets. Here are a few tips that can guide you in the right direction: • The Name should be according to your content. There shouldn’t be a huge disconnect between the theme of content in the channel and its name. • Choose a Name that’s also Visual. • The Name should be unique. • The Name should be easily pronounceable • The Name should have a Domain free • Check for a name that is not registered as a domain by someone else.

  • EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES Skype and Podcasting: Disruptive Technologies for Language Learning
    Language Learning & Technology September 2005, Volume 9, Number 3 http://llt.msu.edu/vol9num3/emerging/ pp. 9-12 EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES Skype and Podcasting: Disruptive Technologies for Language Learning Robert Godwin-Jones Virginia Comonwealth University New technologies, or new uses of existing technologies, continue to provide unique opportunities for language learning. This is in particular the case for several new network options for oral language practice. Both Skype and podcasting can be considered "disruptive technologies" in that they allow for new and different ways of doing familiar tasks, and in the process, may threaten traditional industries. Skype, the "people's telephone," is a free, Internet-based alternative to commercial phone service, while podcasting, the "radio for the people," provides a "narrowcasting" version of broadcast media. Both have sparked intense interest and have large numbers of users, although it is too soon to toll the bell for telephone companies and the radio industry. Skype and podcasting have had a political aspect to their embrace by early adopters -- a way of democratizing institutions -- but as they reach the mainstream, that is likely to become less important than the low cost and convenience the technologies offer. Both technologies offer intriguing opportunities for language professionals and learners, as they provide additional channels for oral communication. Skype and Internet Telephony Skype is a software product which provides telephone service through VoIP (Voice over IP), allowing your personal computer to act like a telephone. A microphone attached to the computer is necessary and headphones are desirable (to prevent echoes of the voice of your conversation partner). It is not the only such tool, nor the first, but because it provides good quality (through highly efficient compression) and is free, it has become widely used.

  • Vlogging the Museum: Youtube As a Tool for Audience Engagement
    Vlogging the Museum: YouTube as a tool for audience engagement Amanda Dearolph A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts University of Washington 2014 Committee: Kris Morrissey Scott Magelssen Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Museology ©Copyright 2014 Amanda Dearolph Abstract Vlogging the Museum: YouTube as a tool for audience engagement Amanda Dearolph Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Kris Morrissey, Director Museology Each month more than a billion individual users visit YouTube watching over 6 billion hours of video, giving this platform access to more people than most cable networks. The goal of this study is to describe how museums are taking advantage of YouTube as a tool for audience engagement. Three museum YouTube channels were chosen for analysis: the San Francisco Zoo, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the Field Museum of Natural History. To be included the channel had to create content specifically for YouTube and they were chosen to represent a variety of institutions. Using these three case studies this research focuses on describing the content in terms of its subject matter and alignment with the common practices of YouTube as well as analyzing the level of engagement of these channels achieved based on a series of key performance indicators. This was accomplished with a statistical and content analysis of each channels’ five most viewed videos. The research suggests that content that follows the characteristics and culture of YouTube results in a higher number of views, subscriptions, likes, and comments indicating a higher level of engagement. This also results in a more stable and consistent viewership.

  • Categorising Youtube Thomas Mosebo Simonsen
    MedieKultur | Journal of media and communication research | ISSN 1901-9726 Article Categorising YouTube Thomas Mosebo Simonsen MedieKultur 2011, 51, 72-93 Published by SMID | Society of Media researchers In Denmark | www.smid.dk The online version of this text can be found open access at www.mediekultur.dk This article provides a genre analytical approach to creating a typology of the User Generated Content (UGC) of YouTube. The article investigates the construction of navi- gation processes on the YouTube website. It suggests a pragmatic genre approach that is expanded through a focus on YouTube’s technological affordances. Through an analy- sis of the different pragmatic contexts of YouTube, it is argued that a taxonomic under- standing of YouTube must be analysed in regards to the vacillation of a user-driven bottom-up folksonomy and a hierarchical browsing system that emphasises a culture of competition and which favours the already popular content of YouTube. With this taxonomic approach, the UGC videos are registered and analysed in terms of empirically based observations. The article identifies various UGC categories and their principal characteristics. Furthermore, general tendencies of the UGC within the interacting relationship of new and old genres are discussed. It is argued that the utility of a conventional categorical system is primarily of analytical and theoretical interest rather than as a practical instrument. Introduction One significant reason for the popularity of YouTube and the emergence of User Generated Content (UGC) is the site’s accessibility (Lister et al., 2009, p. 227).
