Reflecting upon our chosen question and formation of sketches from the previous post, my group has taken a particular interest in incorporating elements of interactivity within skate video, whilst also continuing to explore what effect different online tools and services might provide skate video. For this reason our probe was reconstructed and now stands as:
What happens to skate video when it is interacted with via different online tools and services?
This new probe prompted the formation of new sketches and alteration of previous sketches, that now perhaps more closely address the studio prompt in regards to experimenting with a narrative / non-narrative form.
The sketches now stand as being:
1. YouTube – what happens to skate video when YouTube annotation links are present?
2. Timeline commenting – what happens to skate video when timeline commenting is enabled?
3. Reply Videos – what happens to skate video when YouTube’s ‘reply video’ function is optimised?
4. User Selected Songs – what happens to skate video when the user can select the song?
5. #Tags – what happens to skate video when tags are optimised?
6. Voting System – what happens to skate video when users can vote on quality of tricks/video?
7. Twitter – what happens to skate video when it is distributed in script form via Twitter?
8. Snapchat – what happens to skate video when it is distributed through Snapchat?
9. Vine – what happens to skate video when it is distributed through Vine?
10. GIF – what happens to skate video when it is distributed via GIF?
11. Photos – what happens to skate video when it is created solely from photos?
12. Sound – what happens to skate video when it is created solely from sounds?
13. Hybrid Context – what happens to skate video when it mixed with video review?
14. Cowbird – what happens to skate video when it is distributed through Cowbird?
