[videoblogging] Define Videoblogging
There's been a idea that has been promoted to not define Videoblogging. That it is too soon, that defining it will lock it down and constrain it, and so on. The error is that a model, definition, thesis is required to test if something is viable. You don't discover something by not applying a model to it, but by testing if a proposed model accurately describes the item in question. The video projects that are interesting and successful whether the highly structured Rocket Boom or loosely structured Carp Caviar, have a understandable structure. Experimental films have existed since Edison and others invented the technology of filmmaking. But it became a vibrant media once Griffith found and clearly displayed the 60-120 minute, three act model in Birth of a Nation. Within that clear models of genres and forms -- the science fiction, crime (with subgenre of noire), romance (subgenres of romantic-comedy, etc.), comedy, etc. sub-models --- resolved into modes of film expression. It is a mistake to narrowly define an art form. To say that videoblogging is just personal diaries or citizen journalism or another type of genre expression. This is like saying film is adventure. It may be that adventure (or romantic or crime) films are the most prevalent genres, but they are not the only genres that can exist and are interesting. It is the form of a duration around 90 minutes with three acts that does define the cinematic form. And it is a video with blogging capability that may be the correct model that different genres of videoblogging exist in. That model may be incomplete or innacurate, but it should be proposed and tested against competing models until the correct model is determined. Saying that no model should be tested is quite possibly a recipe for floundering and stagnation. -- Enric Yahoo! Groups Sponsor ~-- Get Bzzzy! (real tools to help you find a job).

Re: [videoblogging] Define Videoblogging
oxymoron alert! there is no such thing as a correct model otherwise it would not be a model all models are approximations someday even physicist's will realize this and stop looking for the right one once a model is stamped correct, all you have is dogma Enric wrote: That model may be incomplete or innacurate, but it should be proposed and tested against competing models until the correct model is determined.

Re: [videoblogging] Define Videoblogging
I don't understand the need to "strictly define" videoblogging except to separate individually (or collectively) produced "independent"video from advertising trailers promoting a commercial product (movie trailers, etc.) The independence of unfettered personal _expression_ is key to defining vlogging in my mind.

And that is where it should stay, in your mind. There are videoblogs that do not rely on personal _expression_. MediaMatters. Crooks and Liars. ScienCentral. There are many genres of videoblogs. By the way, Sciencentral is great.

In my opinion vlogging is not a modele ( there is x modele of vlogging) may be a spirit the feeling of the media's mastering Loiez Le 17 déc. 05 à 20:03, Enric a écrit : Or perhaps they are not. There's no contradiction between having a model and putting it in action (doing). -- Enric Yahoo! Groups Sponsor ~-- Get Bzzzy! (real tools to help you find a job).
