'The  Ultimate Vlog Star Starter Kit - Volume 1' Review

27/11/2015

0 Comments

 
I have previously posted about ​'Vlog Star Live (my experience before the actual concert...)' and discussed the respect I have for Vlog Star, as they are an amazing company.
I recently received The Ultimate Vlog Star Starter Kit - Volume 1, and  like many people, I've always been interested in vlogging, but I've never had the confidence to actually start a vlog (as I'm sure a lot of people reading this might be). However, I found this kit incredibly useful and it gave me a bit more confidence to possibly start a vlog in the future. 
In this kit you get a mini tripod to hold your phone when you film, and a booklet full of helpful tips and advice. What I really liked about this book was the fact that it acknowledged that vlogging can be very hard and scary, but they managed to make it seem less intimidating. The few first pages are an introduction to vlogging and a tick list that you need to complete to successfully get started. Although this seems like such a simple aspect to the book, having a breakdown of how to get started with a vlog it makes the whole process seem much more simple and fun, rather than having the fear competing with other vloggers.
Another section  of the book that I thought was really useful was the 'Pro Tips'. This part includes many tips that a lot of people may assume that you already know, for example setting the lighting. If I were to start a vlog right now I would put my phone in my tripod and then start talking, with very little consideration going into the lighting, But what this book says is "Getting the lighting right can make the difference between you looking great and seeming like you've accidentally filmed a scary ghost or vampire". With this helpful advice, it gives aspiring vloggers the chance to make a really successful debut video.

I would highly recommend buying this product if you are considering making your own YouTube channel and becoming a vlogger.

Justin Bieber - Purpose album review

22/11/2015

 

I have always prided myself of being one of the only people who doesn't like Justin Bieber...until Purpose came out.
All over Twitter I saw the hype building up for the album, but I still wasn't phased with it all. When 'What Do You Mean' came out I didn't really see what all the fuss was about, but then it started to grow on me.
I then heard 'Sorry' and realised that I was actually starting to enjoy Bieber's music. This new sound was much more grown up to the Justin Bieber I was used to, and it seemed as though he was making music that was appealing to more people.
The night before Purpose was due to come out, I listened to all of the little snippets on iTunes, and actually felt excited to hear the album in full! In my head I was trying desperately hard to fault the album, but I couldn't.
The following day I purchased the album and sat down properly to listen to it. The songs that really stood out to me were 'No Pressure' (ft. Big Sean), and 'The Feeling' (ft. Halsey). These songs sounded completely different to Justin's usual sound, and are really catchy!
I've had the album on non-stop for a week now, and all I can say is; well done Justin...you've officially made me like both you and your music!

Little Mix - Get Weird album review

22/11/2015

 

I was really looking forward to the release of Little Mix's third studio album, Get Weird . The past two albums, in my opinion, were brilliant. They both have a wide range of sounds and songs, and there is a good mixture of dance tracks and ballads. However, I sadly didn't feel the same about Get Weird. Both 'Black Magic' and 'Love Me Like You' gave me high expectations for the album, but my expectations were soon ruined. I'm not saying the album is awful, as there are good songs, such as 'Lightning'. But as it's their third album, I was expecting a more mature sound from the girls, instead we were given an album that I feel has the target audience of 8-14 year olds.
This hasn't put me off Little Mix though, as they are very talented women who do know how to produce good music. I believe that every artist once in their career releases an album that isn't that great, and in this case that album is Get Weird for Little Mix.
Bring on album four!
