With the uprising of YouTube and YouTubers uploading daily vlogs, weekly vlogs, monthly vlogs, doing Vlogmas, Vlogary, Vlogtober... (you get the idea) It's very difficult to persuade others that what I'm doing is NOT simply following the trend. Coincidentally, a friend of mine also asked me a question as to how to do the things she like and not appearing to be posing as an artsy youth. I told her, "Just follow your heart and who cares about what everybody thinks?"
I do simply because I like.
Recently I have been reaching out and trying to live my life to the fullest, doing all sorts of different things which I won't normally do. Today, I have just created a vlog about a hike I had with a friend yesterday.
I can't say that YouTube have no influence to what I'm doing here. I was inspired by the various editing techniques by various YouTubers, this I admit. But I want to bring out the fact that to me, video editing is a form of art, an expression of the mood and feelings through visual and audio. I enjoy learning new techniques from other videos, running the scenes through my head, visualizing and planning the angle, deciding how to bring out the message best, finding music to suit the mood... All these made me feel like I am creating a piece of recording that is interesting to the mind, let the viewer enjoy as well as allow me to record happenings of my life.
Art is a very personal thing yet you can share it with everybody because you are the only person who can decipher the emotions within as you felt it.
It doesn't have to be brilliant, no necessary to have any views at all, as long as it is part of your creation,
