video diary

Filmed personal log

A video diary is a series of recorded entries in which someone documents their life, thoughts, or experiences on camera over time.

Like a written diary, it captures personal moments chronologically, but in video form: She kept a video diary throughout her pregnancy.

The format became popular with vloggers and reality television, where participants record confessional-style segments.
