What’s a Vlog?
A vlog (video blog) is a way to share personal experiences, thoughts, or activities through video. Think of it as storytelling mixed with a slice of your life.
Choose any topic that excites you - just keep it audience appropriate.
Your vlogs must be edited (no raw footage). Add transitions, music, or effects to enhance your content.
Include a 5 second professional slate with your name, project title, and date at the beginning.
Add text or graphics to give your vlog a polished look.
Make it fun, interesting, and something your audience would want to come back for.
