Hey there lovely friends. As many of you know, I have shifted my upload schedule to move to four uploads per week! Before I was uploading every single day. I think that this new model will allow me to increase the quality of each individual video, and also give me extra time to focus on study to increase my skills. I have been spending a lot of time using LinkedIn learning courses on video, editing and special effects.

I have also been trying to learn more about time management and organisation so I can maximise my productivity! Thanks for sticking with me for another video.

____________________ Thoughts on the chapter

Government control and surveillance is obviously a central theme to the book. More interesting to me however is the idea that the act of love can be a rebellion. I think in many ways this can be true in real life as well as in this novel. Sometimes to do what is right, and in the best interest of others - can be very counter-cultural.

During this chapter we are reading inside the ministry of truth (minitrue), as that is where the majority of the chapter takes place.

This chapter also goes further into detail about how intense the level of surveillance is. I hope that it interests you!

Nineteen Eighty-Four is public domain in Australia. This video is intended as a public service, to educate and entertain. To provide a relaxing and effective way of communicating one of the best works of literature to a target audience (being the ASMR audience).
I have decided to put a little more production value into this series. The first series I did on my channel was of Animal Farm, and to honour this tradition I thought it right to increase my efforts. #1984 is a classic, it is mentioned all throughout culture. #Orwellian is a popular description, basically describing a situation in real life which is negative in George Orwells eyes to having a good society - as depicted in his writings.

What does ASMR Mean?
Autonomous sensory meridian response (ASMR), sometimes auto sensory meridian response, is a tingling sensation that typically begins on the scalp and moves down the back of the neck and upper spine. A pleasant form of paresthesia, it has been compared with auditory-tactile synesthesia and may overlap with frisson.

ASMR signifies the subjective experience of "low-grade euphoria" characterized by "a combination of positive feelings and a distinct static-like tingling sensation on the skin". It is most commonly triggered by specific auditory or visual stimuli, and less commonly by intentional attention control. A genre of videos which intend to stimulate ASMR has emerged, of which over 13 million are published on YouTube
(Wikipedia, 2020).

Its basically a tingly and relaxed feeling you get, caused by certain cues we call in the community 'triggers'. #ASMR is a massive trend, its videos, its not a job (asmrtist :O) but originally it describes the feelings of #tingles.
