This week has been all about the assignment. I have been watching many, many tutorials on how to use Audition so hopefully I know (at least roughly) what I’m doing when the time comes to start properly editing.

I have also been scouring the corners of Youtube to find Vlogs relevant to our project. There are thousands of celebrity gossip mini channels that are set up like proper news room. But what amazed me was that they all look legit, even though there can’t possibly be that many channels about the same thing that are equally successful.

It’s these kind of channels that amaze me when it comes to the different forms of attention we have looked at. Because you somehow find yourself addicted to them. I will sit there and watch one for information, and it is so painful to watch because I find everything so cringeworthy, and to be honest I don’t care at all about what celebrities are up to. And yet I caught myself watching multiple, hating every bit of it… and yet I would still watch…
Maybe there is something to be said regarding their quick headlines and flashy news stories that is both repulsive and addictive, or maybe it’s jus the human need and uncontrollable interest in the Hollywood life that keeps these channels running.
Regardless of the factors, and as much as I hate to admit it, they’ve got my attention.

One of the best channels I found during this research was ‘Hollywood Now’. Here is the link to the channel. http://https://www.youtube.com/user/HollywoodNOW
I’d definitely recommend a visit to see how these pointless channels stay up and running, but be warned… You may be there a while.
