1. Why do you love Halloween?
I'm not really sure to be honest, it's just a really fun holiday! Lots of candy & scary creepy things, sounds good to me! I love watching paranormal stuff at this time of year too.
2. What costume sums your personality up perfectly?
Erm.. Possibly Wednesday Adams? I definitely have resting bitch face like her! haha!
3. Have you ever been to a scare attraction?
Yes! I've been to Scarefest at Alton Towers! Their scare mazes are amazing, although I haven't been in a few years now! They do have a lot of new ones this year though.
4. Previous Halloween costumes?
I've only properly dressed up once & it was a few years ago now. I dressed as Mrs Freddy Krueger & yes I did do the make up for it too!
5.Favourite horror film?
God that's a hard question! I'm really not sure on that one, partly because a lot of horror films are crap! haha! I think the best horror films are psychological horrors, they're so much more intense!
6. Do you believe in ghosts?
I'm honestly not sure. I personally have never had a ghost or paranormal experience so I find it really hard to believe really. As a photographer as well I'm well aware of what can be done in photoshop. I don't know really!
7. What are you craving in your pumpkin this year?
I haven't decided yet, but we will be vlogging our pumpkin craving for vlogaween!

Thinking of starting vlogging?
Well look no further, here are a few of my vlogging essentials. This is more targeted at those wanting to produce travel/ daily style vlogs.
I would also like to state having a laptop or some kind of computer is always essential, but that's essential in life in general... right?
So onto the actual list:
Canon G7X
Obviously this is my camera of choice, there are a lot of similar cameras on the market, so have a look around & see which seems right for you. I love this camera as it's nice & lightweight. It also has a flip up screen which is perfect for vlogging, so you can exactly see yourself. This makes it a lot easier to frame your shots.
SD Card
This one really is necessary, as you can't use the camera without it! You should always have at least two SD cards to hand, as you never know how much footage you're going to get. So make sure you always have one in your camera (that's not full) & a spare.
Camera Battery
Another item you need to actually make your camera work. Obviously I know, but they're so easy to forget if you're charging them. Again the trick here is to have spares. I find the Canon G7X battery isn't that great, so I'd said if you buy this camera a spare is a must!
Gorilla Pod
These are a great bit of kit. It's basically a flexible tripod, which come with both a Go Pro & standard tripod thread. These are interchangeable too. I use this tripod constantly, as it's super handy & easier to adjust than a normal tripod. I also find it makes it more comfortable to hold my Canon camera if it's attached to this tripod.
Go Pro & Micro SD Card
I thought I'd put these two together as they work in conjunction with each other. Go Pro's aren't cheap so if you don't think you're going to filming anything too sporty or adventurous then don't waste your cash. However you can get some awesome & creative shots with a Go Pro which you wouldn't necessarily achieve which a normal camera. The model I own is the Hero3+ Black Edition.

Now I do vlog sometimes for my youtube channel, however I still find it really embarrassing!
So I wanted to point out some things in case you're thinking of starting vlogging.
This post is not to discourage anyone, but more to highlight what it actually involves.
1. People will look at you weird!
Youtube is massive now, however there are still a lot of people that don't really know about the content or care. So people will look at you weird when you vlog in public. Even if you're sat in the comfort of your own car, someone will shoot you a confused/ odd look.
If they don't do this some people try to get in the back of your shot thinking they're 'photobombing' you. Orrrrr they will ask you if you want them to 'take the photo for you'.
2. Explaining it to others can be awkward.
Whether it's because of the previous or if someone just asks you your job/ hobby, unless they're into Youtube they probably won't understand what you do.
3. Editing at 12am.
If you're vlogging the whole day, when in the day will you get time to edit it? Chances are it'll be late at night. So be prepared to lose some sleep!
4. Quiet days don't make good content.
If you vlog a lot (i.e. daily vlog) you'll know that quiet days don't make great content generally & Youtube is very competitive these days, so good content is essential. So maybe skip on the quiet ones & only vlog the more exciting events.
5. People think they know you.
This is the case with any social media, however vlogs are quite personal content. So people will start to think they know everything about you, which isn't necessarily true. The simple answer is, only show people what YOU & those around you are comfort with, don't over share.

Calling all videographers/ vloggers you need a Go Pro in your life!
Now they aren't anything new, but they certainly are special.
Go Pro really did get it right. They are a such a versatile camera you'll be amazed the minute you pick one up. From the live feed app to the waterproof housing these cameras are 'Go anywhere, Do anything'.
If you're looking to create awesome promotional videos or just travel vlogs for fun this is the perfect bit of kit!
Although they & the accessories aren't cheap they all have their uses depending what use you plan to get out of this camera. They have some awesome kits for such things like scuba diving. I would love to take this diving!
The possibilities really are endless with these things.
You an easily use them for more simple things like driving time lapses for vlogging or cool dog, chest or head cam. There are so many accessories you can use to make your content & productions that bit more creative & stylish.
Honestly I think it's an essential piece of kit for anyone interested in video. They now also have some more bargain friend models, so definitely check them out!
