Stories about Places
In collaboration with: Mike Kraus (BBC)
The objective of "Stories about Places" is to explore the use of widely available imaging devices (e.g. camera phone, still camera) to capture, edit and distribute short videos about small-scale places (e.g. building, square, street, park, alley, cafe-bar, etc). Participants could select between shooting with photo camera, mobile phone, but video-editing should only employ basic editing (e.g. photos, videos, transitions, voice-over, music, etc) and not advanced visual effects, although basic filters are ok. Any type of short film is appropriate (e.g. documentary, promotional, event, historical, etc). The expected outcome is the development of a critical mass of content to be uploaded on small-scale broadcast media stations at the respective places (e.g. Open WiFi hot-spots). Then, passers-by could get an in-depth view of the personal aspects of places and annotate.
