Revolutionary Video

With the Web awash with video, how do you stand out or produce distinctive video that immediately captures attention? And what are some of the formats and aesthetics that work well to capture your particular audience? By aesthetics, how differently would you produce a contemporary corporate video to one about news? In Revolutionary Video: Designing and Producing for the New Media Audience, these questions and more are answered with groundbreaking techniques and real-world examples from Internationally-acclaimed video maker and journalist, David Dunkley Gyimah. In Revolutionary Video, Gyimah explores new forms of video storytelling such as Accelerated video (fast paced cut video merging MTV-generational pop video formats with professional broadcast storytelling), Integrated multimedia (combining multimedia storytelling with video), and Outernet techniques (formats for video that reach beyond the Internet into public displays). By the end of the book, readers will have the confidence to try out these formats and build their strengths as video storytellers, whether they use a high-end, prosumer cameras, or video-enabled DSLRs. To demonstrate the concepts from the book in action, an accompanying DVD will include original material, deconstructed video (how it was done), as well inspirational content from other revolutionary contributors such as Rob Chiu (http://theronin.co.uk).
