This week I set up my mediafactory blog and began learning how to navigate WordPress (having only used it a handful of times before). I also set up a vimeo account in order to start filming my constraints. I faced a number of challenges learning about codecs for the first time (as Korsakow requires clips to be h264 in order to run). I also had to learn a bit more about compressions, as my files were very large owing to the fact I filmed them on my DSLR camera. I did this by performing some google searches and speaking to a friend of mine who studies filmmaking.

I began thinking about the relationship between iPhoto, iMovie, Vimeo, and Media Factory, as my clips went through the processes of being shot, uploaded, sometimes edited, published online, then embedded into a blog post. Additionally, I joined the Korsakow Facebook group and began reading more widely about the software and what it can be used for.

I also sought out my first interactive documentary to watch and review. I found that many were easy to find through simple google searches, and through some links I found on previous IM1 blogs. I am now building up a list of these films to watch and review.
