VLOG 22: LOOK IN THE GODDAMN CAMERA, KATE!

in #dtube7 years ago (edited)



Hey there!
In order to improve the quality of my vlogs, every time I will be challenging myself to look straight at the camera. It’s a simple thing when you get used to it, but most amateurs like me still tend to shift their sneaky eyes towards their pretty little faces, when filming with their front cameras.
I’ll definitely bear this in mind, and, since I paid attention to that in this video, I did much better than before. Still… can you count the times I looked away?

I’m still recovering from my cold, but I’m feeling so much better today!
Drinking a lot of herb and spice teas and taking some medicine, too.

This is me in my natural stay-at-home state:

Oh, glorious ginger tea! Wool socks knitted with love by my grandmother.

It has happened so that I’ve caught cold just before our mini trip to Stockholm. The tickets of the ferry are bought and we’re going this afternoon. I was really anticipating this weekend getaway plan, so I won’t let my cough stop me. I hope I’ll do well and I’ll try to get plenty of teas and liquids there.

I’m not taking my computer with me, I want to switch off from the digital world for a bit. Reinis (@syndicateframes) has a plan to edit and post videos on the go, ah, he’s my wonderman. As you know, he is a very determined video maker.

Hope you, too, have wonderful plans for the weekend!
Wishing you all good health!
Take care!

Hi , I never had vblog yet . But i wanna try but im also shy and Iam asian , english is my second language but I realy dont speak with it much . Unlike writting , I can pause and think what is the word ima type . Does it better to do vblog than blog ? What u think ?

Hmm, I'd say writing is easier for me, too, because English is not my first language. BUT there are certain topics that are easier to explain in spoken form. :) You should definitely try!

Dear Kate, this your amazing picture made my day!!! it made me to upvote and folow you in order to stay in touch and send in my support.

Hopefully you will teach me how to pose like that..lol.

Moreover, I think challenging yourself to improve always helps...keep it up and have a nice weekend.

Lol

Aw thanks haha! Glad you enjoyed my fabulous pose. 😃

Feel better. Thanks for the tidbit.

Thank you so much! :)

You are doing a great job, for me it seems that you are always having an eye contact with the cam! Have a great trip and hope you will feel better real soon! :)

Thanks a lot, so sweet of you! 😊 I try to do that but now I'll pay more attention to it. I hope the weekend getaway will also help me to get better! :)

Your expression was ridiculous and a little funny.

Very nice post i like it

Is not that the coffee you drank. because the glass you hold is starbucks

As a public speaking student and motivator i stated with those mistakes when recording live videos. "sneaky" you called it. But with repetitive effort you end it unconsciously.

Please enjoy the analogue world a bit! LOL

Thanks!
I agree, at a certain level of practice, it becomes only natural. :)

It’s really been a nasty year for illness. I’m so ready for summer!!

I think lots of people are nervous about speaking in front of a camera. Even when it isn’t live ..and you can re-record.

I’ve yet to do it myself but I’ve been thinking about it. The eye contact tip seems valuable. I have noticed that the most popular video blogs show the vlogger looking right at the camera- as if to be talking directly to the audience.

Anyways- stay healthy!!

Aww thanks for the warm wishes!
I hope you find encouragement to do vids, too. Vlogging has helped me in so many ways! :) Since I'm a beginner, and I'm learning and improving, I might as well share some tips I've got.

I'm feeling much better with every moment, and I'm wishing you good health and lots of success on these platforms!

wow great post.you are doing good work..happy to see your post.

this is really good keep it up

I'm follow you

Ginger tea is my favorite, I take it with or without cold.
I am sure you are going to have fun, especially since you will be moving away from the hurly burly of the digital world. Safe strip and you have a fun filled weekend.

Yep, I love it, and ginger is a wonderful remedy against inflammation.

Thank you so much! Enjoying the trip already but still can't resist checking steemit when I find internet 😃

Yea I have the same problem, sometimes my eyes wonder around instead of facing the camera xD

Happens to all of us. :) However, my boyfriend's (@syndicateframes) vlogging game is so high, that he even cuts out the parts, where he's not looking directly in the cam or re-records them. :D

Daaayum what a professional :)

Haha! I love the title of this post. It made me laugh :)

The most important thing is to stay comfortable and the only place we can find comfort is at home. Even a socks at home can be comfortable... Let the camera not ruin our comfort..

I never mind when I see that people are looking at themselves while filming 😂

Thanks, Beth!
Now I'll now that at least you will forgive me my vlogging sins. 😄

@art.life I need to get on your level you have some serious photography skills for sure very high quality pics 👌🏽

Same goes to me. I totally forget the word that I have to say when I am facing a camera.
