I follow an account on Instagram: http://instagram.com/meagancignoli which has inspired me to use a short 'micro video' section which involves taking multiple photographs and putting them together to create a moving image effect.
Here is the link to Megan's personal website which has many examples of these type of photo-videos - http://ilovemeagan.com
I have created my own 'practice' video on iMovie which I have uploaded to Vimeo below.
I made this micro-video when my documentary idea was about Britain, therefore it represents quintessentially British features. However, I am still considering using a micro-video sequence for the title part of my product.
Micro-Video Practice from Beth Moss on Vimeo.
I found it quite difficult to produce this video, even though it is rather short.
Firstly, I had to set up my camera on a high tripod so that it stayed in the same position for each photograph which was taken.
After inserting all of the photos into iMovie (there were approx. 260 pictures in total) I made them all the same length (0.1 seconds each) by selecting a photo and ticking the 'Applies to all stills' box on the options menu:
What I'll do differently next time…
Next time I will make sure I take the photos in a place in which the lighting cannot change, as the lighting slightly varies throughout the sequence of photographs.
Also, I will make the sequence shorter, as it is rather long and could be viewed as rather tedious for the audience.
I will add music to the sequence to make it more exciting and easy-wathcing.
