Remember
those late night Video Nation diaries on 成人快手2? Ordinary people recording
their lives and thoughts on camera? Since 1993, more than 1200 Video Nation
'Shorts' have been shown on TV creating a unique and diverse visual record
of life in the 20th Century. Well Video Nation continues on the web, and
we want you to share your stories with us in our Video Manchester section.
We're looking for people from all walks of life in Greater Manchester
to take part. You don't have to be a web wizard or a camcorder king. You
just need to be up for it. And we'll put you story on the web.
How does
it work?
Simple. We give you a camcorder, and some training on how to use it. All
you have to do is to remember to switch it on and give us an insight into
a part of your world. It can be about anything - as long it's real life
and tells us something about what makes you tick.
Who edits
the tapes?
We do, but Video Nation hands over control to you. If you are unhappy
about a finished video, then it just doesn't get shown. That way you are
free to shoot first, decide later.
I鈥檝e never
used a camcorder - does that matter?
No - and you don鈥檛 have to be technically-minded either. A local production
team will provide all the training and advice you need to film successfully.
What will
happen to my recordings?
Your tape may be edited into a short video and shown on the website, once
you've agreed the final version. If you change your mind about a video
later on, we'll take it down as soon as possible. We use streaming technology,
which means the videos can鈥檛 be downloaded or kept by users.
What鈥檚
in it for me?
It's an opportunity to share your views and experiences with others; to
talk directly to both local and national audiences and to add your videos
to the growing, online archive of everyday life.
