It's a beautiful sunny day here in England right vlogging versus blogging what's the difference?
Blogging is writing and goes back to
the earliest days of the internet when all that we had were bulletin boards. Vlogging came
about with the advent of being able to use video online. The word vlogging goes back
a long long way but it wasn't applied to the word today. The word today is a
video log. A blog is a written log of your daily events or weekly events and a vlog is a
record of your daily events or weekly events in video format. So they are two
different formats basically. You ask any writer trying to write emotions is
quite quite tricky. More than quite tricky it is really very difficult very very hard
Vlogging is much more immediate you can show how you're feeling
Just in a couple of frames. Now as a teacher I know that there are several different
ways that people learn some people learn by reading some people are visual
learners and some people learn by doing. Different people have different ways of
learning or different ways of taking in information. I find that I'm a mixture of
all of those. I can learn by reading I can learn by watching videos. I've learnt
a lot from YouTube I learn loads of things from YouTube which brilliant and
also by doing. So I used to make videos. Home videos for my family and
that kind of thing but vlogging is a whole different discipline altogether
You have to learn a different set of things about lighting about sound about all
kinds of stuff. Like I'm sitting in the garden now and you can hear cars going
past you can hear someone's Mowing there lawn over there hopefully you can hear
the birds song because that's actually the loudest sound here. But yeah vloggings
got a whole different bunch of complications that go with it
At first I was trying to eliminate all sound which is wrong there that's not
real life is it? Real life is what's going on around you and I'm not making a
movie this is not a movie. This is a vlog so em yeah vloggings interesting.
My friends in the blogger world have been asking me to write for a long long time
They say. "Well Mike when are you going to start writing again?" They was trying to say
Well look. Come and join us we're having a great time. It's a new venture in blogging.
Which I think is going to be very disruptive and very very good for
the internet and what they're trying to do is get away from the
traditional methods of supporting creative people which is advertising
you know adsense and all that kind of thing. They've actually created a new model for
earning money online from your blogging or your vlogging and basically they use a
thing called a tip jar and so this is like an in-between. The newspapers
and people like that magazines they've all gone for this this subscription
model where you pay an annual subscription and then you get the
newspaper or the magazine every week or every month however often it comes out
The model that this group has come up with is totally different
You go and read their work or you watch their vlogs and if you like it you leave
a tip. A couple of bucks and that's it basically your tips are rewarding that
blogger for the work and effort that they've put in. This way if you like a piece of
work you can tip it. You know you would tip a busker in the street and they've called
themselves the Virtual Buskers Guild and they inducted me into it this week
which was brilliant because I haven't been writing for a long time and they
said no. What we're going to do. We're going to induct you into the virtual
busters guild as a blogger vlogger. Trying to come up with different names
for it. So "Blowvlog"? Vicky came up with blowvlog and I thought that
sounds like a Bond villain. Yes Mr Blowvlog but now it's
blog and vlog so I do my vlogs and put them on the Weeblyhood site which is on
Weebly. If I can write something then I write underneath. Another thing
I thought about as well was this. When I'm making my videos I just record them and
upload them to YouTube and then I'll go through and watch the video and I transcribe
it. To do the closed captions so that people who are hard of hearing can read
what I'm saying in the vlogs. I thought well the obvious thing to do is to take
that closed captions and put it in as the blog underneath the video so that's
what I'm doing. So I've been inducted into the virtual
buskers guild which is very very nice so that's it
I've been inducted.
Just listen to this now
That's an airplane it's probably a big Hercules from the United States going to
RAF Lakenheath over in Suffolk. They're making the movie here next year and
they're looking for extras. I think I might actually go and become one?
Could you see me in American Air Force uniform?
Slick!? tee hee!
