In my vlog, I made butter. My goal was to show people how to make butter with one simple ingredient. As you watch the video, you can see me turn heavy cream into butter. Although I achieved my goal, I would like to introduced flavored butter next time by showing different ways to flavor butter with different ingredients. I would definitely vlog again but I would only put out food content.
I don’t really have a favorite YouTuber but I enjoy watching SNL skits or cooking tutorials. If I had to choose a bunch for cooking videos it would be Binging With Babish, SORTEDFood, and my guilty pleasure, Tasty. I just enjoy their content on how to show simple ingredients and turn it into something tasty. What I love about Binging with Babish is that he takes fictional food from movies and recreates them in real life.
From their work, I can apply the difference viewpoints when cooking food. I see that a lot of YouTubers show them cooking food with a birds-eye view.
Authenticity is being true to the work you are doing, and not trying to hop on a bandwagon for views. Performance is doing something through practices and delivering something you believed is worthy. Authenticity and performance work together because the work you put out is special to you if you believe that it is your own individual work and not for the views.
I think the clip from home is more performative because celebrities often have a reputation to keep up to the public, and even though one interview is at home, that doesn’t necessarily mean that the celebrities are their true self.
