      I agree with the crater. I watch more RUclips than “TV” so I always have the idea that I am watching something for entertainment. To me it’s like watching a movie or a tv show. Real or fake isn’t as important as long as it isn’t made to look real and it’s all pre staged. Great job both Riza and also great breakdown.

I am documenting my life and it has been a true inspiration to some people, especially I am going through my self-journey at the moment. A lot of people can relate to that and people are tired of these fake influencers who are just chasing $$$, instead of them chasing money they should be chasing inwards...

    The production value of the rushed scene, was jarring. Having some sense of the amount of effort it takes to pull off several of those shots and the lack of authenticity to the actual story did pull me out of the moment a bit. I wonder how many non-creators noticed though? It does drive the story well. That said, like the iMac and the notes, Riza is a vibe. Her style is so refreshinging and inspirational. Thanks for this breakdown. You've articulated so much that I love about her work.

    Hi Sam,
    First, I would like to point out, your breakdown was great! Second, thank you for speaking on the connection of the music and how she delivered her content with montage and then her words and back to montage. You often hear people talk about how video editing and music kind of coincide but I haven't seen any that broke it down where I've understood it exactly. Finally, If this video is any indication on the rest of your content, I'm subscribing. Really really well done!

    Sam, loved your breakdown! Your video in itself was as exciting as Riza’s 😂 I’m a new fan of Riza and she inspires me to create cinematic vlogs now - which is why I loved your point on the “set up” shots. As a viewer, I get sucked in to the narrative and visuals but when I try or plan to replicate these in my actual life, it makes me go “how the heck can I set up those angles when I’m ACTUALLY rushing!” 😂😂 I’d probably do it your way (handheld) but Riza’s reply also helps remind me that it’s partly filmmaking and those need planning! Thanks for these videos and breaking the rules of RUclips!

    When I was watching the last seen, I also had the same feeling about authenticity. But on the other hand, it did not bother me because she is obviously having a scenario and so many creative thoughts that you almost watch her videos as you were watching a short film. I find her sincere for wanting to document her life, and while doing that putting all the skills and creativity into it since it is also her passion and profession, which escalates the sense of the moments of her life, ie. you could feel more of the excitement. Love her content and great breakdown.

    Your breakdown was great. Riza's video awesome!
    And yeah the question you asked - I prefer authenticity of the moment and you're right if she'd shoot it handheld or even if selfie style running when she's late. It looks a lot real because the audience knows otherwise that it's all a setup and she's not late. She probably has 2 hrs left to plan the shots and do everything on time and get a shoot done before she goes on to pick someone and the home makeover and cleaning up was also probably done over a couple of days. Nobody gets their cleaning started and films it perfectly and also hopes to finish it in hours. It's a nice cinematic film but feels unauthentic in that sense.

    Sam, for manifold ADHD and Autism reasons, I have a lot of trouble visualizing the finished product when I'm thinking of a shot. Likewise I have trouble looking at a shot and reverse engineering it. However, I desperately want to shoot more intentionally, and the hours of videos I've watched on rules of cinema, lighting, and everything else are missing something I need.
    You speculating at a process like this and showing, more or less, how it would be done, in addition to saying WHY it's being done that way and what it's accomplishing, is seriously bridging some gaps for me. You've nudged me into storyboarding for the next video. Easy sub. Thank you.

    Hello! new to RUclips creation on a very tight budget!! I know exactly what you mean about the leaving the camera, walking off and coming back to it! those step counts must me off the scale! I'm a home professional decorator, I really like Riza style and that of the Pethericks - who also break the rules with 30 seconds of no verbal content and I love it, being (more than) slightly autistic I find the fast pace, over the top, bright colours and lots of images in a short time too much and overbearing. Thank goodness for @lifeofriza and thank you Sam for helping me understand and breakdown a style I hope to find a space of my own in. Great vid.

    I think you are totally right about the sense of urgency being undermined by the "set-upped" shots. of course it's about style and being engaging, but you shouldn't use style if that goes against what you are telling (i.e. being late) and it's the same if that's tv, cinema, or vlogs: doing the right decision and not just doing the coolest one, should be the filmmaking's way.

    Great breakdown, yeah, my first thought when seeing your breakdown of her vid, there's no way this was done in a time crunch with that level of production value. Great story telling and aesthetics on her part, but man, if I were trying to get things done, it wouldn't be with multiple angles of storytelling cinematography, lol.
    A bit like bullet journaling, some people actually just run their day, while others design a journal to showcase on pinterest that would never be scalable for the actual task at hand.
