We have worked across the organisation with communications and marketing professionals, students of all disciplines, technologists, archivists, educators and people who just want to make better video content. A considerable amount of teaching and marketing material and training videos have been created. Our equipment has found its way across the country and abroad. Recently colleagues and students have been documenting their work and study experiences using our equipment and techniques. For example, following the supply chain from the pickers and growers of Gujurat, to the fashion houses of Mumbai; attendees of Global Health Academy Summer School reflected on their time spent together in Uganda; and capturing workshops for Syrian academics in Turkey, all using techniques gained from the DIY Film School and our mobile equipment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
We almost always carry our mobile devices. Essentially we have a high-quality video camera and a means to record and broadcast content available at all times. It\u2019s more immediate and more portable than a traditional camera rig. Smartphones have overtaken laptops as the preferred device for accessing the internet. Users who routinely carry out complicated tasks on mobile devices may be less confident using an unfamiliar camera, and filming on a smartphone removes that barrier. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Many apps available for smartphones significantly improve the manual control of a device\u2019s camera and also enable high-quality filmmaking, editing and post-production functions. Smartphone apps are becoming essential for traditional as well as mobile film-makers providing a low cost, portable effective alternative to lugging expenses complicated equipment on shoots. Moreover, access to the internet enables the video maker to upload and publish their content easily. Services such as The University of Edinburgh\u2019s Media Hopper Creat Platform <\/a>allow film makers to create, store, share and publish their media content. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Author Stephen Donnelly<\/strong> <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Video is part of our day-to-day lives.
