The article in the videomaker magazine “Tweeting with Video” talks about how many people have started to do something called tweeting with videos. It talks about how people can tweet with very small short clips. Use Micro-Videos, which are very very short videos videos that are even 12 seconds long. Not only because short is good, but because with the attention spans of many people, and the busy lives that people have many people can’t sit and watch the 5 minute video blogs that people create. The article gives a few different sites that show video tweeting without the bells and whistles that can be used. Video tweets can be used to just stay current with topics and just give out a thought. The article then talks about how some video companies are trying to take advantage of video tweets, in creating small video cameras that will allow people to create high definition tweets. But at the end of the article it asks if it is really necessary for people to make these small videos and to tweet in this manner.
I honestly think this article was rather informative, because I didn’t know that people did these types of things. Maybe we can possibly do this as a class assignment? Make a quick weekly tweet about what we learned in video production, or learned in other classes. Then teachers can know what students are really learning, and if they are on track.
