Images have been used across the world over time to communicate. From stories of peoples lives to commercial enticements to devastating images of peoples’ life work, in many some cases their lives, being swept away in recent days from Japan. The power of images is hard to describe but we all know iconic images that we have seen over time.
Online video is well advertised as being the next great development on the Internet. Online video can be comprised of video footage or a well organised group of still images. presented in sequence set onto a background and with suitable music playing. The elements of an online video are video, images, graphics, text, music and voice-over these are compiled into a video stream and published onto the Internet. Utube and the social networking sites are all publishing arenas. It is especially relevant in the area of tourism, giving the potential visitor a taste of the experience they can expect. The advantage is it can be done for little or no cost to the business or the viewer. Digital technology has brought to each one of us the potential to be a film maker, eventhough it will not guarantee the quality of the video.
www.animoto.com is a video creation service that enables people to make and share videos. It is a web based service i.e. it is available through an Internet site. The following blog gives a very good assessment of the pros and cons of using animoto. note: there has been one development since this blog was written, animoto now allows inclusion of video clips in the sequence. http://hubpages.com/hub/How-To-Make-an-Animoto-Video
The use of video in promoting tourism products and services should not be overlooked, at the same time any old video in my opinion is not better than none, it is essential that videos are produced to a standard that reflects the type of facility beng offered.
This week we can all be inspired by great film makers and maybe next monday we can start with pre-production, production and post production of our own video.
