Video BLog
Rule of Thirds: when you divide the shot into three lines horizontal and vertical put the most important thing where the lines intercept at the top.
180 rule: having an imaginary line and keeping the camera on one side.
Lighting in an interview: 3 lights, key light; bright light. Fill light; back lights, helps the key light. Back light, helps separate the subject from the background.
diffuse your light
nose room; leave more space in front of nose
head room; no space above head. compose shot so the persons eyes are at the top of the frame
compose so the subject isn't breaking frame
think about the back ground just as much as the foreground.
Mise en Scene is the setting of an event

Script
• My name is Alexis Harris and I am going to inform you on how VR is used to treat Fears and phobias, Studies have shown that this way of therapy is more effective than other methods that have been used. Psychologist James Taylor developed "Graduated exposure therapy". which Gradually exposes patients to what they are afraid of during their therapy session.
• A psychologist and a computer scientist published the first paper examining VR as therapy, finding that it successfully helped patients overcome a fear of heights. The next year, a pair of scientists published a paper on the successes of using it to cure fear of spiders
• The way that the brain naturally responds to Virtual Reality is simple. Our brain is gullible and easy to fool. So, when experiencing these identical ways to real-world experiences the VR developer fools your brain into thinking the VR space is real by knowing what tools your brain uses to construct reality.
• “Virtual reality is a technology that could actually allow you to connect on a real human level, soul-to-soul, regardless of where you are in the world. “– Chris Milk “People who struggle with anxiety and depression can be excessively self-critical when things go wrong in their lives” – Chris Brewin
• Virtual exposure still brings on physiological symptoms such as rapid heartbeat and sweating. Patients are taught new skills that help them to bring their bodies and minds back down from the anxiety, learning to create a new behavioral response to the situation that gradually replaces the fear
• part of the treatment is getting people to relive their traumatic experience to help them process the negative feelings associated with it. With VR the individual is able to revisit painful memories but with a view to developing new forms of behavior that will challenge these and any other existing beliefs.
• If you experience something you are afraid of in VR, and you manage to stay in that situation despite the discomfort, then you have most likely lowered the barriers for trying it in real life.
• Exposure therapy, a form of cognitive behavioral therapy, involves subjecting patients to increasing amounts of things they fear, or otherwise hope to avoid. It is one of the great success stories of mental health, and it’s not just for phobias. Research on cases of intense fear and even traumatic brain injury shows that for several problems, the only way out is through.
• In an American study, 23 patients were encouraged to gradually, and safely, approach a virtual spider. By the end, 83% of patients showed a significant improvement in how they dealt with spiders and they could even approach a real tarantula with minimal anxiety.
• VR can also be used by sufferers PTSD. This is a condition which develops when a person has been placed under extreme stress or suffered a high level of trauma. A good example of this is a soldier who has experienced front line duty but other examples include an accident, physical assault, terrorism or the after effects of a major disaster.
• It’s difficult to appreciate just how remarkable VR is until you’ve tried it. Although you know what you’re seeing isn’t real, your mind and body behave as if it were. It’s an extraordinary experience.
• For the preliminary study, 15 adults with depression underwent three sessions of virtual reality therapy, which had previously been tested on healthy volunteers. In the virtual reality sessions, the patients wore a virtual reality headset which allowed them to see from the perspective of a life-size avatar.
• To create the illusion that the avatar was their own body — an experience known in VR as “embodiment” — the patients could see the body moving in a mirror the exact same way that they were moving.
• While embodied in an adult avatar, participants were trained to express compassion towards a distressed virtual child. As they talked to the child it appeared to stop crying and respond positively to the compassion. Next, the patients were embodied in the child’s figure, and then listened to the avatar of their adult selves expressing compassion towards them
The lack of compassion is what can cause people to feel depressed. Encountering a child can make you automatically feel loved because of the way children make you feel. They constantly show affection and always smile and show there happiness.
• This eight-minute scenario was repeated three times for a period of three weeks. Nine out of those 15 patients reported reduced depressive symptoms a month after the therapy was completed, with only four stating they experienced a clinically significant drop in severe depression.
• Virtual reality means creating immersive, computer-generated environments that are so convincing users will react the same way they would in life.
• One month after the therapy, the patients answered questions about their moods and mental health. Nine of the patients reported reduced depression symptoms, and four experienced a significant drop in the severity of their symptoms. Some of the patients said that they were less self-critical in real-life situations after undergoing the therapy.
• Experts say that receiving therapy in a virtual reality world, using a computer-generated image of yourself, reduces self-criticism and boosts self-compassion and feels of contentment.
• VR is becoming more widely available to the consumers and at a low cost, meaning that this method could be used as a way to reach a significant number of people who won’t admit that they are having problems or seek help

Facing Fears Through VR
Hundreds of therapist use VR to treat phobias. Studies have shown that VR has a more effective way of treating this than any other method. South African Psychologist James Taylor developed "Graduated exposure therapy". This Method Gradually exposes patients to what they are afraid of while getting therapy.
A psychologist and a computer scientist published the first paper examining VR as therapy, finding that it successfully helped patients overcome a fear of heights. The next year, a pair of scientists published a paper on the successes of using it to cure arachnophobia, or fear of spiders. Among their patients was a woman they dubbed “Ms. Muffet,” whose fear compelled her to duct-tape the doors and windows of her bedroom each night.

Branding Yourself
In this article the author is discussing how to brand yourself. This allows you to differentiate yourself from others you may be competing for a job against. She says to define your overall aspirations. Defying your goals and then conducting research about it. To get to where you want to go you need to learn more about what others have done to get there. She also mentions that you should determine your brand attributes. Assessing your current state, thinking of how people see and doing what you can to change the way that they see you. By creating a game plan you develop a plan in which will allow you to accomplish the goals that you have set for yourself.
