The videos 'TheArmoryVlog' posts onto his channel are Arsenal reviews after every game and how it played out. He gives his thoughts on what went well and what could have been improved and he does this all in a 4-6 minute video. He uses his introduction title sequence to add a bit of effects to the video before telling the audience what we might see and what we would like to see, then the video skips directly to the review of the game straight after the preview. After the review he then discussed what players stood out in the game from both teams. He then gives his thoughts on the next game that might be next week or mid-week. All his work is amateur and its just him, a camara and his custom Arsenal Armory Vlog background stuck on the wall behind him as he talks.

The image quality was that of an average video recorder but the video itself has an option to make is 720hp HD quality. The image quality of the video wasn't amazing and crisp but it wasn't bad either.
I think the editing aspect of the video was particulary impressive because his intro and outro with the sound effects in each and he also displays some comments from the comments section below onto the screen and talks about it so if he doesn't agree with it or he does agree with it. Overall I think that for an amatuer youtube who doesn't make money from his channel, i thought it was impressive in the way it was planed and presented.
