As we were thinking about some ways in which a viewer would be able to properly visualise a certain place or feel a particular experience, we decided that using a GoPro as our filming equipment would make an interesting idea. With inspiration from other first-person perspective videos done by other filmmakers, we chose to adopt that idea for our sketch.

In this sketch, we do a vlog review on a home stay apartment. We borrowed a GoPro and head strap mount from one of our friends. After looking around the place and figuring out how we might shoot it, we then proceeded to filming the footage. We did it in a casual sort of way, reviewing the place and what it had to offer as we went along.

Looking back at our footage, we see various differences from shooting it ‘professionally’. Viewers are able to see every inch of the area, experiencing it from the perspective of the filmmaker. This helps viewers to have a better idea of what the place actually looks like, and seeing as how our vlog review revolves around the context of travel, it would be deemed important that they are able to properly envision a location before choosing to stay at or visit a certain place.
