VLOGGING

What was your goal with your video?

I wanted to get a video out there of a home workout for those to do since everyone is in quarantine.

Did you accomplish your goal? Why? Or why not?

I accomplished my goal of getting a workout video out and also the workout also doesn’t use weights so that means everyone can do it.

Who is your favorite YouTuber?

Juji and Tom (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgkzrMGEbZemPI4hkz0Z9Bw)

What about their work appeals to you?

They also make vlogs that gives insight to the world of powerlifting and body building.

What lessons can you take from their work to apply to your own vlogging?

I took that they just act as normal as possible since it is their personalities that attract others to their channel.

What is Authenticity?

Authenticity is something in its realest form/ or true form. Authenticity comes from doing things that come first to mind that would show a true action.

What is Performance?

Performance is an act or presentation that doesn’t fully show yourself fully. It helps fit the image of what the context is going for. Such as if you were to go to a fancy restaurant, you would want to be more polite or not eat like a slob.

Are Authenticity and Performance opposites? Or can they exist together? Explain!

I think that authenticity and performance are opposites because a person can’t be authentic and do things in the realest form. If they were to act in a different way than their initial intentions then it would be a performance.

Below are 2 clips of Jennifer Aniston on the Jimmy Kimmel show – one in the studio and one from home during the coronavirus pandemic. Do you think either clip is more authentic? Is either more performative? Why or why not?

I think that in both clips of Jennifer Aniston, it was both a performance since the one live is in front of an audience. The one on video I also think is a performance since she knew that what she says will be shown to others.
