I’m very excited to start using the JVC GY-700. It actually very fortunate that we have access to that particular model, as Band Greeks has be authorized to use the 700 as well; this is a great opportunity to use what I learn in class in the field!
Yesterday, I found an interesting trailer online for a documentary called Please Subscribe. The trailer features some well known Youtubers such as Grace Helbig (Daily Grace), Hannah Hart (MyHarto of My Drunk Kitchen) and Toby Turner (Tobuscus), and discusses the growth of Youtube, particularly, how the medium is changing from a simple pastime to a full-time career.
According to the film’s website, Please Subscribe also explores professional Youtuber’s backgrounds as well as issues such as how they attempt to stay relevant and “what they hope the future in this unstable, ever changing medium looks like.”
The idea behind this film reminded me of our class discussion about McLuhan’s quote “the medium is the message.” Through the vignettes featuring famous Youtubers, the film offers to examine the medium, its relevance and its future. Since Youtube has such a presence in society and our everyday lives, this is a fascinating film that I definitely want to see.
