Hello Video

A vlog to introduce you to the class – where you are this summer, what’s going on with your life, major, career, etc. Vlogging is a way to share your identity & style with other people. Vlogging is a way to share your place, your city, and your home, with others. Vlogging is a way to say hello to 29 Art 110 classmates.

Don’t Worry!

Like speech class, this is something that can be stressful for some of us. And like speech class, if you get a bit better at it, you’ve gained a powerful skill. Imagine going on a job interview and not making eye contact with your interviewer, but looking at the ground instead because you’re nervous and embarrassed. Many of us feel this way. It’s intimidating. But if you can give someone a confident handshake, and make comfortable eye contact with them as you talk about yourself, you’ve gone a long way to forging a real relationship with this person.

Useful

Beyond Visual Art and Creative Projects, being able to express yourself on video is a powerful career skill. Whether it’s to argue an idea, or to share detailed information, if you can communicate with video, you’ve taken a significant step toward building a career.

Vlogging

Use your:

• Phone
• Laptop
• Or any other Camera

Helpful:

• A tripod is very helpful for a steady picture, but most of us probably don’t have one. What about taping a selfie stick or your phone to a chair or other object?
• An external microphone produces way better sound, but most of us won’t have one of those either. It will help if you find a quiet space and speak loudly. And the closer you can be to your phone, the better it will sound.
• Have an outline of what you want to say!

Give it a shot!

Record or stream your video. Share anything about yourself, your college experience, what you’re up to this summer, your goals, or whatever you’d like to talk about. If you’re able to include a couple images of where you are this summer, that’d be awesome! 😀

Post on Canvas

Post your video to the platform of your choice:

• TikTok
• Twitch
• YouTube
• Vimeo

Then take the URL for that video and post it twice on Canvas:

1. In the Assignment Textbox, so Glenn can give you points
2. In the Discussion, so we can all learn about each other

With your post, please also discuss these questions:

1. What you were going for in your video?
2. Did you think you accomplished it?
3. What would you do differently next time?
4. Do you think you’ll ever Vlog again?
