How to get comfortable on Camera while filming a Food Vlog
	

	

		
Fundamentally, what does a food Blogger/vlogger do? A food Blogger/vlogger eats!  


Food as we know it is a gateway to the soul. Like water, it’s something that our body and mind need. It comes in different forms, different opinions, different cultures, and different beliefs, but it is something we cannot do without. 


Food ironically is a fascinating subject globally. And its dynamics are a bit farfetched. Although the 21st century, we still have the primitive tribal in the heart of Kenya that drink the warm blood of their kill, to the tribal in the amazon that forges the forest for 3 straight days to find bush meat, to a 5 Michelin star restaurant in NYC, they all have one thing in common, the culture that we have grown up in and that reflects on what comes on our plates. 


Food is not just an art, it’s not just a science, it’s a lifestyle, and important for all of us to have a basic idea of what goes on around us on the globe we live in reflected through the food that we eat. 


Let’s face it, like sex, food is often taboo as well. I mean, how many of us can eat a rotten 4-day old bush meat like the tribal in the amazon, or have dog meat in some provinces in China, or have the fresh pig blood delicacy in Vietnam? 

Not many of us. We, simply put, do not have the mindset and the stomach for it, but it’s important for us to know what is going on where we live. Here education suddenly plays an important role across all age groups, genders, nationalities, and races. 


This can be achieved via elaborated but interesting content. 

People love to know about the unique cuisines of the street food in Thailand, to the diversity of the taste in the Indian Cuisine, to the gut-wrenching weird food in the back ally markets in China, to the multinational cuisines in the food courts, and to the high end $500 per plate Michelin restaurants.  


Although we have segregation in Non-vegetarian, vegetarian, and vegan in our fellow citizens of the world – they all still have a sense of curiosity. This very golden tool within the human mind, paths ways for multiple bloggers and vloggers who have it within them, to put across fascinating content for the people. 


Equipped with just a mobile phone, one can begin this journey and make it as natural as possible. The food blogging life begins within the 1km radius of where we live and we gradually extend the geographies once we have a certain established formula for the food blogs, we begin traveling and exploring more. 


 With the help of Youtube, Instagram, and Facebook – there are so many people who live through knowledge that can be touched and influenced.  


Ironically, a seasoned Blogger/vlogger also knows that local businesses (eateries, restaurants, QSR, etc) can also be impacted via the Blogger/vlogger, consistently and comprehensively. That’s why many of us now adapt the #vocalforlocal 


 With the current race of hardware for a better consumer experience, we will soon have the market flooded with cheap mobiles and cameras that will make things so much easier for the Blogger/vlogger than it was, let’s say two years ago. 


Lastly, how is a food blogger/vlogger wired? 


You can’t be disgusted, but, opinionated you can be. 

You can have boundaries but not conditions. 

The real tough part here is that if you have any emotions about what you eat, it will show on your face and that can piss people off or ruin your shot. 


Hence, comfort for a food vlogger begins on the plate.  


Then it’s the team. You have to have great chemistry with the person behind the camera. They often give you exactly what you need when you are yourself. You look straight into the camera with arrow focus on the lens and what you say. That’s it. 


Much love and more food power to you. 

	


	

			










	

			

	

		
Creativity in Theatre- Road to Improve, Motivate & Achieve
	

	

		
“We must all do theatre, to find out who we are and discover who we could become.” – Augusto Boal Theatre carries in itself a whole world, a life of multitudes to be breathed, experienced, and reflected upon. It embodies all Art forms and brings them to life as a whole – an umbrella under which myriad Art disciplines exist. By interweaving Arts as a lifestyle, assists us to delve deeper into ourselves, instills motivation, and leads towards achieving our highest potential. Theatre is a dynamic discipline that works tremendously towards conscious living. When we perform different roles in a play, just like we would in life, we need to understand the character in depth. Consequentially, it helps us in delving within ourselves, understanding our strengths and weaknesses, and exploring our optimum potential.


Engaging in Arts sharpens our senses and we develop a heightened sense of observation and empathy towards ourselves, others, and the environment. As an actor/director and facilitator, working in the field of Theatre for the past three decades, I have seen the efficacy that Theatre brings in people’s lives. While training students across the whole spectrum of age and gender, I have realised that they all felt Theatre was their medium of reckoning themselves to become independent, confident, and holistic individuals. Theatre helped them shape their path of career choice, grow as better individuals, achieve creative perspectives of imagining, and discover methods to live a balanced lifestyle. Theatre is a magic wand that enhances creative thinking. The improvisation techniques in Theatre motivate one to think in the most dynamic way using various cross-sector approaches and also encourage one to widen their scope of observing and responding.


In Theatre, while engaging with various Art forms, one frequently takes a flight of fantasy and imagination. Creativity is crucial for innovation and adaptation. Artists, being creative people, have the ability to see multiple solutions and employ original thoughts. The world of Art implores one towards unique responses and multifarious ways of looking at things. Literature and Language are an integral part of Theatre. One is introduced to diverse literature and experiences knowledge gathering of multiple cultures. Through oral narratives and written texts, one is introduced to the intricacies of multitudinous societies. Exposure to the world of Arts embeds tolerance and cultivates the quality of inclusiveness in a person. Learning a language includes not only understanding its context and essence but also grasping its rhythm and musicality. As one has to deliver dialogues clearly and effectively to enact a character, one has to work on the language, which turns out to be a great exercise for ameliorating language proficiency. Clear pronunciations, understanding the expression and connotation of each word add to the subconscious learning of an individual.


Performing in Theatre acts as a memory booster. Techniques of delivering lengthy dialogues, responding according to cues, understanding and keeping a track of the entire play, helps an individual in improving memory. The discipline of practice and live performance strengthens memorizing skills. Gradually, one becomes a person with sharp memory skills that they can use effectively as a ready reckoner and a point of reference in any given situation in life. Theatre stimulates in developing better communication skills among individuals. Being a collective is the principal structure of Theatre. It breathes through the idea of being a unit and a family, which requires sustaining relationships. By way of working as a team, analyzing characters to play and by its structure of being a place to express emotions effectively, one develops the intrainter personal skills of communication and learn to deliver effectively among professional and personal relationships.


Team spirit is the essence and ethos of Theatre. While working in Theatre, one acquires the skill of dealing and existing with individuals from diverse socio-political-cultural-economic backgrounds, having varied psychological and social manifestations. This structure reinforces the idea of working as a team player among individuals, a quality which works as a machinery towards growth.


Theatre cultivates leadership qualities in an individual by encouraging ownership and authority as a robust element. Though it works as a collective, it requires individuals to undertake responsibility and initiative. The extensive gamut of Theatre that includes curation, creation, performance, production, organization, management and execution, instills in one the Art of detailing. An artist knows well how to look into various aspects of any given project. Theatre is ephemeral and live. Hence, it requires maximal alertness and prompt decision making which are the hallmark of a capable leader. ‘The show must go on’- achieving the collective goal under all circumstances is what defines the life in Theatre. The healing power of Theatre or Arts, in general, is magnanimous. They assist us in visiting the corners of our being that we are unable to connect with in any other realm of life.


Theatre is therapeutic and has extreme potential of rejuvenating lives mentally and physically. Its philanthropy lies in understanding emotions, expressions and people-to-people connection. Through interaction, practice and creative engagement, it can act as a pathway to recovery for all. Choosing Arts as a lifestyle creates a healthy environment that revolves around personal achievements and successful relationships, bringing gratification in life
