This sketch had more to do with a different way of taking a video of your journey. I found that holding up a DSLR to record is very tiring and can potentially cause sore arms. Using your phone instead would avoid the problem however, you wouldn’t be able to personally experience the journey because you would be focusing on your phone. A Go-Pro would be a better alternate but what if you couldn’t afford it or didn’t want to get one? I could also get a small body camera but since I didn’t want to get one specifically for this project, I went with the next best thing.
Introducing, Pocket Phone! Simply activate your phone’s video recording function and put it into your breast pocket. Don’t have a breast pocket? Well, tough. Issue number one there.
Another issue is that it’s vertical. There is a lot of stigma attached to videos that were shot vertically because they aren’t as visually pleasing as videos that were shot horizontally. This is because the field of view is very limited.
This method of collecting data and documentation is hassle free since all you have to do is just leave the phone recording in your breast pocket. However, because it’s shot vertically and it’s very shaky, I highly doubt that it would be a success.
