Hidden Camera Prank Videos. Aren’t they Great!

Here is one that I have always remembered:

Due to the rise of Youtube another type of videos has taken flight. Hidden camera social experiment videos…

Today in the Media 1 Lectorial we raised the question “is it ethical to film someone without them Knowing?”. I had looked this up a few weeks ago for my Self Portrait Project. I wanted to photograph people who looked similar to me or did similar things. I know that in some countries in Europe this is illegal without their permission, so i looked up the laws for Melbourne and found the following on the “ArtsLaw Australia” Page:

“There are no publicity or personality rights in Australia, and there is no right to privacy that protects a person’s image. Existing privacy laws are more concerned with storage and management of personal information and are of limited relevance to the present issue.”

Given this information my personal belief would be that Hidden Camera video is ok in Australia, however i would ask the subject to afterwards sign a release form. Just so that they fully understand that i intend to use their video.

 

 

 

Your Song

For Media 1 we were talking about sound editing and the different effects of music and why they might be inserted into a project. In order to experience an example of this i decided to try an experimental blog post…
The song “Your Song” by Elton John has been stuck in my head all day. I have decided to play the song while wearing headphone and write down whatever comes to my mind as it plays and what emotions it invokes.
***
Things seem to slow down, i see peoples lives more human-ly, makes me think about their families, where they come from. The troubles they have faced in their lives. It gives me a somewhat insight to think about people away from the hustle and bustle of the sounds of the world bombarding my senses.
Nostalgia
Thoughtfulness

Interesting that external sound can have such an effect
Now i challenge you to read this while listening to the song:
