Welcome back to my blog! This time, I teamed up with my classmate, Mariam, and decided to create a video that would be different to the other videos my classmates made. I had such a great time putting this video together. (I may or may not have laughed my heart out with Mariam while trying to fix our audio.) Mariam was such a great partner, and I feel sorry for her having to deal with me during the whole video!
Since Mariam and I wanted to do something different, an idea popped up in our minds. We wanted to create an ASMR style video on how to comment because we realized that instead of focusing on our video, we were talking about our favorite ASMR videos. We couldn’t wait to plan out the video and record it. Little did we know, we would face a lot of dilemmas along the way.
While recording, I forgot to mention to Mariam that I have night mode on my computer, so it made the entire video a shade of yellow! (We’re not going to go into depth about that.) We also had difficulties recording our audio, and didn’t even realize our microphones weren’t correctly adjusted until we later put the video together. After hearing the audio, Mariam and I both cringed really hard.
If it weren’t for Mariam and her video editing skills, as well as her patience, we probably wouldn’t even have this video up now (props to her!) I hope you enjoy this creepy, yet interesting version of a “how to comment” video. If you liked it, or cringed at it deeply like we did, leave a comment down below!

Lily,
As I mentioned on Mariam’s post, I found this style to be a little creepy but quite fascinating at the same time. When you were recording in the classroom, I was unsure what was happening and couldn’t quite imagine how it would sound when embedded in the video. I hadn’t noticed the repetition of the “c” sound every time you spoke the word “comment” and confess to laughing out loud as I watched your video. You both maintained such a serious composure which contributes to the eerie quality of the audio. I’m certain that I would have struggled in an attempt to create this effect.
I also want to commend you on sharing the obstacles you faced since this is so helpful for students running into similar problems or feeling discouraged. Often students believe that everyone else’s work is perfect. It is important to know that there are inevitable struggles associated with attempting to create something for the first time. I’m proud of both you and Mariam for sticking with it!
Can’t wait to see what you post for Week Three of the Blogging Challenge!
Keep up the great work,

Dear Mrs. Sheridan,
I give complete credit to Mariam for deciding to do the repetition when saying the word “comment”. I got inspired by her so I decided to also say the word “comment” like that. Mariam and I could not stop laughing while recording this video. I’m surprised that we got it through the entire video without cackling about how terrifying our voices sounded.
We’re lucky that we even got the video up! It makes me feel a little better inside to hear that my classmates also had a little difficulty with creating & uploading their videos. I thought the whole time that it was something I did!
Thanks again,
Lily

Lily, I have truly never seen a how to comment video quite like this one! It is delightfully humorous to take a very serious subject and give it a mysterious and eerie mood. Oh, my! It certainly got our attention, and it also showed a lot of effort.
It makes me want to visit your blog again soon to see what you are up to next!
