There is a popular, new genre of TikTok videos making the rounds.
This is the video of someone documenting an average day in their life. You see them wake up in the morning, make breakfast, drive to work, eat lunch, etc. Nothing extraordinary or even mildly interesting happens. The only thing unusual about the day, as they document it, is that they are documenting it.
I watch these videos fascinated only by the number of camera angles they use and cuts they have to make. As a content creator myself — as much as I absolutely despise that title — I can’t help but marvel at the effort that must go into creating this sort of content. Not to mention the public embarrassment you must endure when other shoppers at the grocery store see you setting up your tripod to capture footage of yourself picking up a bag of green peppers or whatever. It all seems very bizarre. What is being filmed…
