LIFE AS A CEO VLOG
This was the fourth video I edited for Morgan and I was still experimenting with finding her editing style. I wanted to play around with some "cinematic" elements while keeping the authentic vlog feel.
I love how the wedding dress shopping segment turned out! Starts at 5:30.
HOME RENO VLOG
Home renovation projects have a lot of footage and need to be edited down enough to be interesting, but not so much that the viewer can’t follow through each step. I think this video balances that well.

ROAD TRIP VLOG
Silent vlogs can be tricky to edit because there’s not always enough context to make the story make sense. It can look like a compilation of random clips.
To keep the audience interested and in the loop, I:
★ made sure the audience knew where they were (location and time)
★ switched up the music often. Usually, a music switch signaled to the audience that there is a location or day change
★ found a small way to bring the story full circle. There are clips before she leaves (4:40) that show the sunset from the apartment. The last clip I was provided was of the highway going back to the apartment (13:28 - end). I had extra sunset footage, so I used that at the end to show she made it back.
CEO PERSONAL BRAND VLOG
Morgan’s vlog starts as a work trip and turns into a personal vacation with her family.
Instead of including everything, I took the angle of showing what it was like to travel and work as a young, new mother. This helped the video feel like it had a direction and gave more insight to Morgan’s personal life (which was the purpose of this vlog).
I like to look at video comments to see if the story was clear and resonated with viewers. I was happy to see this comment:
“I looovr this Morgan!! As a mum and business owner, I love the mix of business events and tourism! Can’t wait to do this with my fam!”

LIFE AT 22 VLOG
A lot of the videos I edit have cinematic elements. But, for this category, I wanted to show a fully “cinematic” video that was scripted and storyboarded.
This is a video I made (hehe) in 2023. Since the story was obvious, I made sure that every editing decision supported or added to it.
