Sketch 1 – Vine

I was a new-comer to Vine, so I was excited to see what I could do with it. Vine only allows for a six second video, where it is played on loop when viewed in the Vine app. It’s interface is really quite simple, and takes an old-school and DIY approach to the way the user ‘cuts’ in their video. Holding down on the touch screen will allow you to record, and letting go pauses your footage. So, using such a user-friendly tool, I tried to apply what I had taken from Project Two, and apply it to Vine.

I went down to St Kilda beach, and there I took three separate shots for a Vine video. With this sketch, I was editing and shooting all from my Iphone, so I wanted to create the same kind of feel that I had emulated with the sketches of Project Two. I deliberately added a lot of movement to my shots, with pans and move ins. However, what I really love about this is the sound. The constant crashing of the waves and the beach ambience I think adds a very documentary feel, and plays more into that video diary genre we had wanted to explore as well with the travel video style.

This is probably one of my favourite sketches of Project Three. I think Vine has a great DIY element that plays perfectly into data collection – it’s just so easy to capture and record moments with this app. I can definitely see this becoming something we can expand on in later stages of our project.
