IGTV - 'The Student Takeaway' Filming

Something I really want to build more of a portfolio in is presenting and hosting. I find it really enjoyable, and would love to have to opportunity to try casting or hosting an esports event at some point. To gain more experience, I've been working on something called 'The Student Takeaway' which is a mini-show produced for Instagram's new feature, 'IGTV'. Yesterday and today were spent filming the first two episodes. When they're posted, I'll add some screenshots below...

EDIT: I also did host another episode, filmed on the 12th of April.

YouTube - Evaluating My Online Presence

Something I've always been very aware of is how I appear online, I'm very picky about the language I use on my public accounts. Something I realised recently was that I hadn't curated my YouTube account for a very long time. I'm planning to become more active on YouTube over this summer (I want to make videos on cosplay, esports and gaming fandom), but before I do this I noticed there were a lot of old videos on my account from when I was younger. Most of these videos weren't very appropriate or professional, so I took an afternoon to delete or change the settings on all the videos. I took some screenshots of this process that can be seen below...

'Playlists' page on my channel, before.

'Playists' page on my channel, after.
(Only 'Liked' and a playlist of music videos I've directed or acted in from college.)
