My first artefact is an online survey I made which can be found here: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/FCCLG3B
For this video I created all the line drawings with a graphics tablet using Photoshop and imported them into Premiere Pro to create this simple animation. I used a royalty free piece of music called 'Bull Dawg NO BASS' by Royalty Free Kings (http://www.royaltyfreekings.com/). I think this video is a good way of clearly illustrating the information from the survey. It has also been useful for the question; "Have you watched any short interactive films on YouTube or other websites?" because I could use annotations so viewers can click and view the video examples.
I collected the results from the Jan 6th - Feb 11th and created this video with charts, percentages and examples of responses.
From this I wanted to see what interactive films people have seen and their opinions of it against regular linear film. I also wanted to see what videos people watch online and what videos they upload.
I found out the majority have watched interactive film on the internet such as "YouTube Street Fighter", "Create a Rapper" by Dormtainment and "Haircut" by Niel Cicierega. I haven't come across these before so it has been interesting to find out new interactive videos and what kind of interactivity appeals to them. It seems short funny interactive videos are more popular to interactive films.
I asked if people would find interactive more appealing to regular linear film and the majority said no. People stated that it would be time consuming, disruptive of the narrative flow and that it's better to relax with a film without missing out on part of the story. However some people agreed that interactive film could potentially be more interesting and liked the ability to change what happens in the film. It seems that people are more interested within short humorous interactive videos with no strong narrative and that an interactive film with different directions of the plot would be too disruptive.
Over 60% sometimes navigate through the interactive annotations feature on YouTube so its clear that the interactive function is well known and that people understand navigation through interactive YouTube videos. This means interactive YouTube videos could become more popular with new features developed for better interactivity.
About half of the people watch short films on YouTube and the other half prefer music videos/covers, funny videos and video blogs. There is a huge following for artists trying to progress with their music online and some support for short films. Short films aren't that popular against the range of material that's uploaded, the majority of people from my survey enjoy funny videos the most.
People enjoy uploading and sharing videos of friends online but their is also many which try and post their work for recognition. The internet is used as a platform for sharing experiences and to become acknowledged. Posting video online is a good way to broadcast work to a mass audience.
Everybody who participated owned a recording device of somekind, even a camera phone so sharing experiences online is widely accessible. The majority use phones for filming whilst a few owned digital cameras, camcorders and DSLR's.
The majority only subscribed to 1-10 channels on YouTube meaning their isn't a huge following for amateur talent online.
