Over the last few weeks, my group has slowly put together a video project. The strange part about this is that it is one of the few classroom projects left in the world of education that the group must still meet together at one location and one time to do filming. All other types of projects, an individual can work on pretty much at their own convenience and location. Does this mean one of the more modern of medias have fallen behind in the times of innovation and web 2.0 tools? I would say, “yes.” This will probably be the last time I will choose to do a group video project. the are so many more open and convenient medias to use than video unless i’m producing and filming solo. It is such a hassle to meet people in recent times. Even interviews are more often done via e-mail or messaging of some form. People don’t even need to be in the same room to collaborate. Video has become more and more accessible to people and it is more and more abundant with sites like Youtube. But (and this is a large one) how many of the videos on Youtube are made by more than one person? Not too many. Sure, many of the popular ones are team produced, but that is only a small percentage of the video on that site. I really begin to question how long video will last as a “modern” media if it does not innovate soon
