Would you mind explaining the last part of your comment? I'm confused by the peer review part.
Thanks.
If I kept a diary throughout university it would go something like
Week 1 - this is alright this lark, lots of inexperienced drinkers though
Week 2 - well, theres not much work but oh well
Week 3 - good lord I'm poor
Fast forward to week 12 or something - Oh man, I'm so hungry, I sold some games to buy food, I'm trying to live on mainly rice at the moment and the prospect of more rice tomorrow is pretty sickening, will someone hire me for the love of god?
And then carry on for a while about the same.
Year 2 - woo hoo got a decent part time job, lets buy tonnes of LSD and mushrooms and take up buddhism, basically becoming some sort of weird hippy hybrid. (I'm still missing large chunks of that year)
Year 3 - Well, that was alright, now to get on with my life, lets revisit the idea of a masters/ PhD at a later date.
Don't see the need for a diary for going through university, a lot of people do it.
I got bored very quick, but I don't know/have any interest in you.
If this is for your friends/family, I'm sure they'll appreciate it.
I can't imagine anybody else caring unless you start building roof slides or doing any other crazy things people do at uni (in films only)
I stopped at basically too, sorry.
Recording needs work it's a bit bassy, try stepping back from the mic?
Do you have any sweet dance moves?
It's always good to get some feedback from a mix of people so get some of the students on your course to comment, even a lecturer or two. The feedback may help your improve your production so it’s worth considering.
Add some explosions and naked ladies in the background. Then I shall watch!
btw
you won't pull any girls with a crappy Back To The Future poster on your wall,
find something edgy, artistic and completely unheard of from the 80's
Vlog has potential, but yeah, try and tone up your voice a bit try and reach the audience with your voice.
Try and reduce the amount of "basically's"
Body posture, body language - if possible try and spice things up with this (I know it sounds corny) someone who expresses with movements etc could be on to winner. Possibly edit up clips so your not always in the same background during the video or vlog moving about with the camera
This is generally what I have learn from watching people's VLOG's, there is more but can't think atm
Okay I've had my fun, serious suggestions now.![]()
I think it would be beneficial for you to perhaps pick X topics per vlog and set yourself an amount of time which you will talk about each topic, this way you can keep focus and reduce waffle.

Do post production on your video using Vegas. will look a lot better.
Oh my word that was dullest thing I've watched for a while.
Sorry mate don't mean to be harsh but either get something good/interesting to talk about or don't bother at all as 3 years worth of those won't be anything to look back on fondly.
About a year ago I had this idea, a very simple idea, a way I could keep in touch with my friends and family once I move away to university. A very easy way for me to achieve this was to produce a video diary which I would upload to YouTube each week, so that they could see my face, and actually know what I'm getting up to.
look mate, the interesting stuff that happens at uni is not the stuff you want your family to know.
