Drinking Beer in the Name of Science!

Moving onto my second vlog for the MA3 Science Module, I began to explore hidden science in everyday life. I decided to look into the brewing titan that is Brewdog; a Scottish company that has spread all around the world with their vast array of craft beers to satisfy the tastebuds of all beer drinkers. Brewdog was founded by two friends from Aberdeenshire in 2007 with a passion for creating good beer. This video was recorded at the Brewdog bar in Dundee and aims to explore the brewing process and the science behind how Brewdog create their amazing beers.

With this video I decided to try a different recording approach and filmed it as a ‘talking head’ video diary. I felt that this style of video would continue to challenge me in speaking when being filmed. Although there are a couple of hiccups and stutters, I feel that this is an improvement when compared to my first vlog. I also chose the ‘talking head’ style as I feel that it is more engaging for viewers…it was also an excuse to go for a pint! The production has also improved as I have gotten to grips with video editing and used a variety of multimedia within this video.

Science Vlogging

This is my first ever attempt at vlogging for the MA3 Science Module. This short video explores a variety of substances and the impact on them when they are added to water. Although the production may not be of the highest quality, the most important thing to me when I was creating this video was how to present the actual science clearly and understandably.

I often find talking in videos or recordings daunting and difficult as I seem to get rather tongue-tied. However, over the course of the module as I produce a few more videos, I hope that my ability as a science communicator improves and the experience becomes less difficult.
