Being new to the vlogging scene, I have to say that I appreciate the clarity of Karen Alloy's vlog posts. Her image is of pristine quality, she is situated in a space that is free of audio distractions from outside of her shots, she can be heard clearly, and her white background places the viewer's focus directly on her. There are few bells and whistles to her posts, though she does employ jump shots and alters the speed/sound in several vlog entries to emphasize different voices, characterizations, and viewpoints.
Alloy's post on how she quit her job was particularly interesting to me because, like us, she decided to talk about herself in front of the camera for several minutes - as opposed to her other posts about various trivialities in life. Her posture, willingness to open up about such a personal matter, and tendency to make silly voices illustrate her obvious comfort in front of the screen. She addresses her audience similar to how one would chat with friends at a social event. She's candid, relaxed, and collected, though she is a bit passionate about how she went about quitting.
