## Visual Transcription

**0:00 – 0:19:** Video begins with Sophie’s typical ‘coming up on the vlog…’ intro. The intro for this video shows Sophie talking to Plum, saying she does not always need Plum’s opinion as the two talk about a boy they’ve met.

**0:20 – 1:05:** Sophie’s intro begins, showing the YRP triangle logo while the intro music plays. The intro montage shows the typical content from Sophie’s ‘New Queen of YouTube’ trailer, with clips of Sophie and Plum walking into a club and Sophie and Plum covered in body glitter and gemstones included. Sophie ends her intro by saying, “Often the poorest man in the smallest house will be happier than the richest man in the biggest house. Why? The cleverest scientists don’t have a formula. Maybe we never will.”, which is different from other vlogs.

**1:06 – 1:33:** Sophie is seated at a piano, and greets the audience with “Hey, Soph-Heads!” and thanks the audience for tuning in to her vlog. Sophie goes on to talk about how she’s been bothered by the things people have said about her, mainly about her having too much money and not understanding how regular people live. At 1:25, a clip from Leon Lush’s “Spoiled Millionaire’s Daughter Claims She’s ‘The Queen of YouTube’” is shown, where Leon talks about Sophie (and wealthy people in general) being out of touch with reality and having no identity.

**1:34 – 2:29:** Sophie says that she has never let money change her as a person, and has never let money impact her decisions. She then says that to prove this, she is going to do a “side by side comparison” of two different clubs – one a more average, affordable club experience (where they’ll take Plum with them, because it’s “totally her vibe”), and the other a “super amazing place they go to all the time”, implied to be a more expensive club. Sophie says that the point of this is to show that she has the same amount of fun at both places, and is the same person at both. She tells the audience that she wants to prove that all that matters is who you are “deep down inside”.

**2:30 – 3:19:** Cut to Sophie and Plum at the villa, preparing for their cheap night out. They are both covered in body glitter and jewels, and Plum is drinking wine while Sophie has her vape. Sophie explains that they have been sponsored by a festival body art group, and goes on to say that they normally go out to party via sponsorships (presumably for clothes and so on), but that they decided to “be a bit more normal” tonight. The duo says they want to experience what it’s like to be normal people for once.

**3:20 – 4:14:** A mini montage begins. The music is Sophie’s general montage music, and clips include Sophie vaping, Sophie and Plum putting on makeup, the duo having a pillow fight and dancing around their room, and the two girls walking into the club, before cutting back to Sophie and Plum at the villa, discussing what it will be like partying in the country/city the villa is located in. The montage continues with the girls talking to the club bouncer, and then dancing and laughing in the club.

**4:15 – 4:21:** There is a high pitched whining noise, and the screen is greyed out and glitches. Brief frames of a brunette girl (later shown to be Lara) sitting in a bedroom suddenly glitch into the video, and for the next portion of the video, clips of Plum and Sophie partying continue as regular.

**4:22 – 4:53:** Cut back to Sophie and Plum at the villa, talking about how they don’t want the audience to think differently of them. At 4:27, the image of the girls blurs and glitches, and returns to normal at 4:28. 4:29 there are more glitches, and the high pitched whine takes over the audio when footage of Sophie and Plum cuts back in. 4:30 has more glitches, and the glitches are getting progressively heavier as the video continues. At 4:32 the audio returns to normal, and Sophie is talking about the importance of balancing fun with being a businesswoman, and then the girls begin discussing whether people will be being sexual on the club’s dance floor, to which Sophie says that they have to remember that she and Plum have higher standards than that.

**4:54 – 5:00:** There is a disc scratch/tight rewind noise, and the music changes to be generic romantic music. Sophie is shown at the club, eyeing up a boy who has his back to the camera but is looking at Sophie.

**5:01 – 5:10:** Cut to Sophie and Plum outside the club, having a discussion. Sophie is saying she doesn’t always need Plum’s opinion, while Plum is asking Sophie if she’s thinking about the boy from the club again.

**5:11 – 5:19:** Plum encourages Sophie to go home with the club boy, and the whining noise takes over the audio again. Audio briefly returns to normal, but then at 5:12 it comes back, and the video glitches. At 5:15 the video returns to normal with the girls still discussing the boy, and there are more audio interruptions at 5:17 and 5:18.

**5:20 – 5:28:** The screen goes dark and the audio cuts out, and Lara is shown in her bedroom again. In these frames, she is sitting in front of her webcam, playing with her hair (5:20). The video briefly goes back to Sophie and Plum having their boy conversation, before glitching and audio interruptions continue. At 5:24, there is a clip of an abandoned building with a fold-out chair set up in front of a boarded up window. There is a frame of some scaffolding within the same building, and at 5:26 there is another angle of the chair, and a tripod can be seen set up in front of it. For a frame at 5:27, there is a close up of some of the scaffolding, and a shadowy figure can be seen standing in the background.

**5:29 – 5:32:** Cut back to Sophie and Plum, where Sophie is unsure if she should go home with the boy.

**5:33 – 5:47:** Heavy glitching resumes, and the audio cuts out. At 5:38, Lara is shown. She leans in close to peer into the camera, and then seemingly knocks it over. The clips of Lara have the slowed down “I can see you Sophie” audio playing over them. The screen goes dark due to Lara knocking over the webcam. And the video ends after showing Lara knocking over the webcam.
