People understand videos easier

It's about information visualization?

pni commented on posted to #OPEN2009 06.11.2009 (en)

viilee  

it's about narrative.

pni  

That too.

one goal is to challenge "the official views" (and create global participatory procedure)
-> more voices -> more effect in policymaking?

aharju commented on posted to #OPEN2009 06.11.2009 (fi)

juhak  

emotional attachment?

We have used digital storytelling in the UK to effect policy change http://www.bbc.co.uk/wales/audiovideo...

There is a danger of H1N1 in the room... keep distance with LeGroup people...

Umm.. Videos tend to simplify things. This video being viewed now is a good example.

Temperature rise may lower heating costs, but forestry will actually suffer from new harmful insects and diseases for which the trees don't have immunity. And timber houses in Finland are prone to termites, which so far haven't survived our winters. We'll also get cockroaches. Happy summer, everyone!

Reinikainen  

@tarmo Yes they do, but policy makers often like to have complex issues distilled into compact packages. And the more emotive the medium, the better chance it has to engage with the policy maker.

The Most Terrifying Video You'll Ever See tries to tell the climate change risk decision dilemma with simple facts.

@tarmo maybe this video is targeted to laymen who maybe don't have much clue about what global warming might mean.

pni commented on posted to #OPEN2009 06.11.2009 (en)

Reinikainen  

I don't think the current video would classify as 'emotive' though, despite music selection... Al Gore and 'Age of Stupid' do that better.

@tarmo Could officials utilize videos made via peer production? Or would it undermine their position?

juhak commented on posted to #OPEN2009 06.11.2009 (en)

khk  

in any case, if you would take only the text (subtitles) and look at that on paper, the video (both the audio and the visual) certainly adds layers of communication that increase the impact.....

khk commented on posted to #OPEN2009 06.11.2009 (en)

pni  

@khk ...and works as an introduction for discussion.

pni commented on posted to #OPEN2009 06.11.2009 (en)

tarmo  

@juhak Well, since EK can show TED videos in their seminars as official seminar programme speakers, I guess the culture is opening... (ok, not peer production, but anyways using emotionally engaging content made by outsiders)

tarmo commented on posted to #OPEN2009 06.11.2009 (en)

Reinikainen  

@juhak the digital stories (videos) I mentioned above to effect policy change were peer produced. It actually lends authenticity to the perspective advocated in the eyes of policy makers.

Reinikainen commented on posted to #OPEN2009 06.11.2009 (en)

tarmo  

If you're interested in open content more generally, the excellent (also) Danish documentary Good Copy, Bad Copy is available online (quite a bit longer).

troppone  

@juhak peer production by citizens or officials, or both?

troppone commented on posted to #OPEN2009 06.11.2009 (en)

mace  

@reinikainen i think a video with a style like this would be a great start for following group discussion (that was explained before the video), it's not too emotive or scary, which would inhibit discussion.

An impressive documentary about climate change: http://www.home-2009.com

@troppone Peer production utilization by officials, rather

viilee  

btw, in case anyone's interested in using video for facilitating engagement, check out a small paper by yours truly and @andreuchis. it was written in 2007 in the context of collaborative design of ICTs and media and had back then quite a good bibliography on the topic.

viilee commented on posted to #OPEN2009 06.11.2009 (en)

troppone  

@mace yep. Hmm, groups could re-edit the video - add commentaries, etc.

troppone commented on posted to #OPEN2009 06.11.2009 (en)

troppone  

Ok @juhak, that's what I thought. Need a few Jungners in the official sphere, then it could work. Would be an interesting project to engage officials in such a peer produciton!

troppone commented on posted to #OPEN2009 06.11.2009 (en)

mace  

@troppone yeah, those videos were designed to be startingpoints and orienting material for consultation groups with a wide scale of participants

aharju  

Most of the pictures are kind of beautiful, views that have not (yet) been struck with the climate change disasters. I would have preferred some catastrophe scenes, that would have maybe made the emotional effect stronger? Of course the nice views make you think these are the sceneries that will disappear.

aharju commented on posted to #OPEN2009 06.11.2009 (en)

@aharju Here's some catastrophic scenery (about the financial collapse): Collapse trailer
