This video is very different from what I had imagined when I first learned about this project. I had a video planned that revolves around the video genre that I’ve been filming for the last couple years. When I learned that I could not appear in the video, I had to come up with something completely different.

In almost all of my YouTube videos I either have myself as the subject of the video or a product that I am reviewing. For this I decided to do some things I had never done before. I did a lot of environmental and establishing shots.

This forced me to really focus on the framing of my shots and keeping concepts like, the rule of thirds, in mind.

I think the process went well, and should I need to do environmental or establishing shots in the future, I think it’ll be easier for me after this project.
