-'''Mason:''' Hello again, people of cyberspace. Miss me? The last time that you and I spoke I was announcing my retirement from the national web sensation known as 'vlogging' - and I fully intend to hold fast on that promise - but before I go I though I'd leave you with one last little video to give you some tips in case any of you wish to take up this great endeavor of explaining and expounding to the internet masses exactly what's happening in the world. You see, I got to thinking - once I officially take my leave then the spot will be open for finding the next great funny, witty, snarky-but-strangely-lovable web personality. And seeing how the only replacements seem to consist of a [[Mitchell|crazy, taco-eating conspiracy-theorist]], a girl with a weird hat, some British chick and an old guy - I'd say we got out work cut out for us. (''whispers'') Love you V.G. (''Makes a "call me" gesture and goes back to regular speaking volume.'') So in order to assist you all in your constant quest of finding the perfect vlog, I decided I'd put together a quick little video tutorial. These four tips are proven to work - if you apply them to your videos they should be awesome. Plus incredibly cliché, but still. That never really stopped anyone before did it? Never stopped me before. Or did it? I can't remember. (''Cut to closeups of sections of Mason's [[lg15.com]] page.'') The first step if you're going to blog is quite simple - you have to talk about your feelings. (''Cut briefly back to Mason sighing.'') You have to come up with some way to let people know exactly what you're doing at every specific moment of the day. And you have to make it sound interesting. You have to actually say what you're feeling, and tell people exactly, well, what's going on inside. (''Cut back to Mason'') After you figure out what you wanna vlog about, you can now move on to the more technical things. The second aspect of creating a great video blog is, of course, the jump-cut. The jump-cut allows you to overturn monotony. In other words it can be used as a technique to make your videos more interesting. How? Simple. If you edit your videos to where you're jumping around the frame a lot, the viewer will be more entertained because they'll be able to see you here, then here, then here, then back here, back here, and back to stage blocking one. The reason you should use a jump-cut is simple, because now its more exciting and you don't have to just sit down, set the camera in front of you,

If you edit your videos to where you're jumping around the frame a lot, the viewer will be more entertained because they'll be able to see you here, then here, then here, then back here, back here, and back to stage blocking one. The reason you should use a jump-cut is simple, because now its more exciting and you don't have to just sit down, set the camera in front of you, have this static shot - You just telling people how your day went. Now they're going to be really excited because everything's cutting back-and-forth at a high-rate - moving at a fast pace. Even if you originally didn't shoot it that way. Another great thing about the jump-cut is that it allows you to contrive a situation where, if you can't get all of your thoughts together in one coherent sentence. You can jump back in time and everyone will just assume that you know exactly what you were going to say and no one will know the difference. Much like cheating on an Algebra test by using a calculator when you're not supposed to, the jump-cut allows you to appear more intelligent than you actually are. Which should be great for a lot of you guys out there. The next thing that you can do to make your blogs more interesting is, of course, the time lapse. The time lapse is great because it allows you to do a whole lot of things in a very short period of time to create that kind of space in between the videos where you can talk while more things are happening than just your boring face. Kinda like this -

He gets up and returns, wiping off his arms, then goes to put the wiping cloth away. Returning, he uses his iPhone, makes a phone call, then throws a weight up in the air in slow motion.'')
