Wuthering Heights IS Lookmaxxing BTS

Hey everyone! So, this was my very first video on YouTube. I had been watching a lot of videos online and was like, "hey, I can do this. I should do this!" Here we are. Like almost EVERYONE connected to the internet, I watched the trailer for Emerald Fennell's "Wuthering Heights" and was horrified. Okay, not horrified, but confused and was really hoping that I would be pleasantly surprised by the final product. Then I watched and read and consumed all of the marketing material surrounding it and was less hopeful, but still keeping my spirits up. Then I re-read Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte. I was torn apart. It was just like when I first read it in graduate school. Okay, not just like it, but much like a few years ago, I was taken over with passions and feelings that remind me why this work has stood the test of time and inspired so many, Emerald Fennell included. I knew at this point that I was going to be making my very first video on this book and movie. I just didn't know the connection yet. Then, I bought tickets and spent part of my Valentine's weekend watching aforementioned movie with my partner. We watched it. We were confused. We talked for hours about the mess and then did stuff that I am not going to talk about online. Then the idea hit me. This movie was basically Clavicular. My partner and I had been talking about him. The brutal framemogging that had happened just a week prior to seeing this film.

The next day I started research. Learned everything I needed to know about Braden Peters. The household Chad. The Chad you could talk about with your co-workers. Your grandma. Well, if she reads the New York Times.

After research came time to write. I knew that I wanted to focus on the juxtaposition of "Wuthering Heights" and Clavicular. Both were chronically online. Both dominated the algorithm on various social media sites. Even if you didn't care much about either you knew about both. Both the film and Clavicular were designed to be devoured online. To live forever, or at least a few weeks, online. Picture perfect. Perfectly designed. Perfectly curated. Everything you would want. The reality was both were not the original. Both had succumbed to bone smashing. Sculpting. Editing. They were far from their originals. They were built for virality.

I had my script. I had too much iced coffee. I escaped to the foothills on a very windy afternoon and froze my a$$ off. I wanted to be on the moors. Windswept. Haunted. Waiting for my Heathcliff. Okay, I just thought it would look cool. In reality it was SO loud. I did not have a proper microphone. Just my GoPRo. I filmed. I watched the raw material and was like "no one is going to want to listen to the wind." I got my microphone. I settleed into my living room with a camera and bone smashing hammer and the rest is history.

So, that's the behind the scenes written look of my very first YouTube video. If for whatever reason you have no idea what I am talking about and want to watch it for yourself below.

Thanks for reading! I'll catch you on the next one!
