P-4 PROTOTYPE

We’ve organically endured this process of creating vine after vine repeating the use of dialectical montage as a foundation and have ended up with something meaningful in 2015. Our final prototype is FEMIVINE our feminist vine channel. Our vines are examples of how we have effectively used dialectical montage in Vine. Our channel consists of vines we’ve created and edited both in Vine using the application itself and also out of Vine using other applications and editing software such as Final Cut Pro and even Apple’s iMovie and iStopmotion. We’ve sourced content from royalty free archives such as archive.org and have re-used our own old footage and created new videos. We’ve vined and revined and have had our videos looping from our own views but also those of other users.

Our Prototype Process:

Our process was a little bit different as rather than repeatedly making an experimental large-scale prototype- we repeatedly experimented with theory in the vines we created to inform our next move and come up with our prototype. Early in Project 4 we’d thought our prototype would possibly be a few vines that best demonstrate our probe: how to effectively use dialectical montage in Vine.
Since we created our channel however, the project seemed to grow as our amount of vines did and there were a few major iterations in our channel and our purpose in its entirety that lead to the development of our final prototype. Iterations listed don’t all show how our prototype changed but instead show reflections on how our channel developed and screenshots on its different stages.

Iteration 1  (Wk11) Our channel created for practicality
Iteration 2 (Wk11) Continued Reflection on early days of our channel

Iteration 3 (Wk11/12) Reflection on Major Iteration

Iteration 4 (Wk 12) What the channel would have looked like had we not developed past this point!

Iteration 5 The breakthough
