So we've already spoke in class a bit about how video is really evolving and how feature documentary film may not be here in the future so I thought it would be a good post to mention a bit about video blogging. Understandably the problem with video blogging is that you have to know how to make money off of it if you want to make a living. I've looked at the top video blogs in the past and tried to follow their steps in making my own blog. I decided to look at the ones for last year. Although some are more news based, others are more creative. All in all, you can really take from it a gist of what people want to watch and what you can do yourself.

Another site I went to is the Forbes site for video blogs:

This one has a variety of of video blogs that come with a review and then their sites. It ranges from home videos of people about parenting to actual design/arts based sites on random topics. I feel that keeping up with a video blog site would really improve your skills in shooting and editing. It gives you a deadline of when you need to have a video up and how much time you have to edit. You also get a lot of feedback from people about how you are doing and if you can put a story together that is relatively short. Just an idea while schools out for the summer!
