Hi everyone,
I've been pretty quiet on these forums for a while but am now coming back on for a while again. The reason I've been quiet is that I've been overhauling the style I make videos. I've just uploaded my first, new-style video, and would like some feedback on what you make of it:
I'm aiming for myself/my online persona to be an integral part of the channel, in contrast to most of the storytelling channels I have seen where the reader stays out of sight, as much as they can. I don't think I'm putting forward the personality I want yet, but some feedback on this would be very much appreciated because I don't have fresh eyes for this any more. I know that's a big vague, since ultimately you can't know the 'feel' I'm aiming for, but I've worked on this enough that I need to know how people feel about it at this stage. So please may I have some reasonably detailed feedback about how you relate to me, given how I come across in this vid.*
*I totally get that you may have negative feedback to give. It's okay, I'm braced for it! I'd rather have honesly-negative feedback at this point than sugar-coating.
Thanks again!
P.S: I'm not specifically looking for feedback on the style, because I think my execution will get better over time through sheer practice, but if anything in particular jumps out at you about it, I'd love to know!
P.P.S: I looked for music for this video but couldn't find anything that fit the bill, so it's silent, but I am planning to put a bit of quiet music to at least some of these. Not sure if that'll have a bearing on what you think of the video.
