Some more Youtube….
This week i focused on making my video better and better. I have got all my footage and added it all together. Today I got even further, I went for a drive and found a vacant road and petrol station, do you know how hard it is to find a petrol station in Canberra that has NO CARS at it??!! Very hard indeed, spent a lot of time driving. Though it was all worthwhile in the end when I finally found one! I have asked my brother and mum to compose a piece of music for me so that I dont have to worry about copyright issues and licenses, something I am not very confident about. Especially I would hate myself if I did it wrong and it implemented on my marks because I did not have the correct referencing. Now that I have finished my short film on youtube, I am trying think of tagging ideas so that it will maximize viewing and understanding of the short film. I am trying to think of common words people will type into youtube but also words that with distinguish it apart from videos and make it stand out. Not quite sure what to do.
I have been cutting and pasting a lot of different clips together to try and make the film look a big messy, a metaphor for how I see the way youtube is constructed. The only way to find things are through tagging, and I wanted to show that you find a lot of clips of just people in their own homes dancing in front of a camera trying to do something outrageous so that they will get the most views and people will watch and tell more then it soon becomes that people quote the short film.
I feel that the film has the main concept I want to convey, but showing that youtube has a lot of random and silly material that is watched by thousands of people. As well as the idea that people would now prefer to watch youtube, what they want, when they want just by typing in a word into the search engine. Of course something will come up, as there is so much on the site.
