Since cameras are now as ubiquitous as hands, a bunch of us end up recording tiny moments from our daily lives on video. But between clips of a BFF’s wedding dance and being caught in the middle of a Times Square flash mob (godspeed if this happens to you), you may realize you’ve got an abundance of unused footage. So maybe you chose to capture a moment through video. But now what? Don’t ask me, I don’t know! What is a vidblog and why should I make one? Vidblogs comes from the Latin “video blogs” (or memory banks, as some of us call them), and they are an easy way to repurpose videos that would otherwise collect digital dust bunnies in your Camera Roll.
I happen to work with a few folks who have been uploading their own vidblogs to Vimeo for years, and together, we’re going to help you take those languishing files and create something rad to share — in a way that’s as simple or as fancy as you’d like. Here’s what our friends have to say about why they choose to make vidblogs: Convinced? Weekend Challenge: self-portrait on Vimeo. In one of our first few Weekend Challenges (then called Projects), we asked you to create a self portrait to introduce yourself to the community. It’s been nine years and this group has grown by ~24,000 members, so we can probably take a little time to reintroduce ourselves. Here’s a great example from a previous winner, Dana Yurcisin: You can make whatever you want within the project’s time limit — three minutes — but there’s one additional caveat: you can’t show yourself talking to the camera.
Why? Because you’re more than a talking head. You’re a whole person full of guts and emotions! You can show yourself in the frame or speak in a voiceover, but we don’t want to watch you talking to your webcam (do people call them webcams still?). Aesthetically, one of my favorite video portraits is this Josef Kubota Wladyka’s video from his series of “one-shot stories”: The Rules: The Prizes: The winner will receive a free Vimeo Plus membership for one year!

In Jonathan Franzen’s 2001 novel, “The Corrections,” a disgraced academic named Chip Lambert, who has abandoned Marxist theory in favor of screenwriting, goes to the Strand Bookstore, in downtown Manhattan, to sell off his library of dialectical tomes. The works of Theodor W. Adorno, Jürgen Habermas, Fredric Jameson, and various others cost Chip nearly four thousand dollars to acquire; their resale value is sixty-five. “He turned away from their reproachful spines, remembering how each of them had called out in a bookstore with a promise of a radical critique of late-capitalist society,” Franzen writes. After several more book-selling expeditions, Chip enters a high-end grocery store and walks out with an overpriced filet of wild Norwegian salmon.
Anyone who underwent a liberal-arts education in recent decades probably encountered the thorny theorists associated with the Institute for Social Research, better known as the Frankfurt School.

Sometimes a single photograph can have a far greater emotional impact than words alone could. This emotional potential makes photography a prime candidate for interpretation based on confirmation bias. As illustration, this lesson includes an interview with St. Louis Post-Dispatch photojournalist David Carson in which he describes a photograph that was interpreted entirely differently by two groups of people.
In a separate activity, students step into the role of news editor to choose the lead image that will run on the front page, based on a different scenario faced by the Post-Dispatch. Some of the imagery used by the media as part of their coverage of Ferguson was itself the subject of debate. The Philadelphia Daily News was a case in point in the speed with which 21st-century image parsing can occur. Images capture moments; they are seldom comprehensive or entirely representative.
Log In - New York Times. A multimedia assignment checklist | The Designer's Corner. In 2012 a writing professor from CU Boulder and I co-hosted several teaching-with-multimedia workshops. Our audience was composed primarily of faculty from Colorado community colleges and our goal was to effectively walk attendees through the process of creating a working multimedia assignment. With any choices in how an assignment might be defined come cautions, opportunities, and considerations.
To help our group see as many foreseeable variables as possible, we used a flowchart to give form to the process of creating a solid media-based assignment. Let's look at that presentation here, in checklist form. The assignment What, exactly, will you ask your students to do?

Popular education is education as a practice (or praxis) of freedom. It is an approach to education where participants engage each other and the educator as co-learners to critically reflect on the issues in their community and then take action to change them. Principles of Popular Education: These following principles were mostly created by both paraphrasing sections of Pedagogy of the Oppressed by Paulo Freire, The Long Haul by Myles Horton, class notes from the Popular Education course taught at Berkeley by John Hurst, and personal experiences working with groups.

Library | WITNESS Human Rights Video Training. How to Be An Activist Filmmaker: An Interview with Chris Rogy of Witness. The use of video recording and live social networking in the last year of protests has left us with a very modern conundrum: Even as video becomes more important in protest, we still focus on the content we are gathering, and not how the tools we use shape content.
With the rise of the citizen journalist, whatever is recorded becomes fact, and we take for granted that spontaneity equals a lack of craft or strategy. The camera becomes a second eye, but rarely do we think about how we control it or where we point it. This is what Witness, an international nonprofit organization founded in 1992, has set out to change with the recent release of a five-part video guide called How to Film Protests: A Video For Change Guide. It’s meant to be a training tool to spark the use of video as a critical protest tool, as opposed to simply a handy gadget that happens to record raw footage.

The student looked vexed as she lingered outside my office door. “Come on in,” I said, smiling at her with what I hoped was my most welcoming you-can-talk-to-me-I-promise-not-to-judge expression. Students were encouraged to think of sources not as punctuation points, but as bridges into communities.
It was the middle of the semester and the young woman was in my new Journalism For Racial Justice: Amplifying Marginalized Voices in Local Community class that ran in Spring 2016 at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
