Here is a brief introduction the book, Digital Video in the Digital Era is Exploding! There is not a doubt in any ones mind that the Digital Era is here to stay. People are frantically grasping at straws trying to find out how to get in on the game. If it feels overwhelming to you, perhaps make a game out of it for yourself. Even those who were and are skeptical are trying to figure out how they can get in on it in whatever way they find possible. Many times, they just want to get a piece of the action and are not in it to cash in on it. It has become more than just being used to waste away leisure time. With all this said, you can image what an important role digital video has in the world of digital era. It's the perfect way to tell a story and communicate ones thoughts and ideas to a diverse group of people in significantly large scales. Digital Video is bursting at the seams. It can be seen everywhere on the internet. From YouTube, Facebook, Myspace, Twitter, tumblr, etc. It is created sometimes from photographs to look like a slideshow presentation or storybook, to being uploaded from cellphones (especially Smartphones) to get a glimpse of an event or shot with a digital video camera and then upload and edit it in a digital video editing program to create the most out of the bang for the buck. Really get people to notice what you are trying to get across. Digital Video is seen very bluntly in the Corporate market, the Fashion industry, the Political arena, the Entertainment Business, Sports Arena and of course simply for personal use by the average Internet user. You won't want people to think badly or less of you. How to catch someone's attention in the Digital Era: The most important thing you need to ask yourself is where to add or my digital data. You need a Home for it. Do you want to create a website or a blog? If so, what does it take to have a good website / blog. It's important to plan ahead. First, you need to pick a topic that you want to focus on. Then you need to know who you plan target. Who is going to be your audience and pick a design & look appropriate for your audience? Remember that this design & look may reflect upon who you are. You need to be careful that you send the right message. The rules of the game in the digital era are different from what they used to be. People were much more detached from the material or product they were presenting and it didn't affect their personal life or represent who they are. Now a days, not only are you advertising a product which is video but also yourself. How and what you share will reflect upon who you are. Don't worry, you don't need to sell your soul. Once you get used to the idea and get started presenting ideas you will enjoy being able to open up and show more about yourself. Maybe you want to start by being informal and share your thoughts & ideas first with your family and friends. Perhaps you prefer to be more professional and want to get the eyes and ears of your colleagues. Whatever the case may be, know that digital video allows you to do things you could never even image and at the comforts of your home. It will be as familiar to you as email. With Digital Video and the Internet together things are happening much faster than you may be used to. Not only will your message get across faster but you may also need to be prepared to have responses ready beforehand. Fortunately, digital video allows you to create and edit video clips much faster. Do you have the time to create and post new video clips on a daily basis? Or is it best to focus on creating update on a weekly, bi-weekly, monthly basis or per project basis. Semi-annually may be too in the digital era for people to wait. They will probably want some feedback sooner. These are all things to think about before you get started. Once you start you should make a commitment of some sort. Only you can decide type of commitment works best. After you've done all this work you obviously want to share it with people. Do you want as many people as possible to look at your videos or are you targeting a select group of people? How will you spread the word and get people to view your clips. You need to find the best place suitable to spread the word. Does that mean that the best for your video clips is where there will be people of similar likes viewing the videos as you? You need to put some thought into these things beforehand. Next, you need to decide if you are going to work alone or with other people. Will you add digital information created by other people to demonstrate a point? Alternatively, will this be entirely your own creation. If you are not sure, what the future will bring then it is very important to be able to grow and be able to make changes as you go. Therefore, don't constrain yourself within the limits of a certain design. Make sure that you can expand upon the design & look that you choose. You need to come up with a plan that will allow you to grow with the changes that the time presents. After you?ve resolved in your head what you want to say and have decided on 'look & feel' of how you are going to present it you have to think about finding ways to keep people interested. Even if you believe this might be a one and only situation you might find that you want to keep adding on and want to send out more relevant information that might be pertinent to the situation at hand. Try to find a gimmick that will keep people coming back for more. Be careful not to shock people in ways that might offend them. If you use information that is used to get people's attention and all riled it might get you some recognition. That might work once and it will most likely give you your five minutes of fame but it will not make a lasting impression and you will then have to work twice as hard to gain attention & credibility in whatever else you try to do. Be Cautious! Take your time to work hard to present your case. Then spend even more time on throwing in the bells & whistle to make the viewer 'Happy' that they have spent the time to see what you had to say! Remember time is very important to your viewer. Make sure you make it worth the views time, and not just yours. In order to continue to keep people interested there could be solutions for them or possible newsfeed. The design could be appealing like the feeling one gets when you are having a nice meal at a nice restaurant. You want the 'design' to catch the eye of the viewer and have them entrenched in whatever you have going on to make them want to feel apart of it all. It's important to understand how much flash you can add to your informative material before it loses its value. You might need to do some market research to find out what sells and what doesn?t. Be sure to be sincere. People know the difference! Also, don't get too caught up in what other people are doing because they might be struggling with the same issues and not be accomplishing what they need to do successfully. Be creative and make sure to think about what you do beforehand. Lastly, you need to make sure that you are familiar with who your audience is and what they want and need from you. There is a lot to think about when we are talking about digital material. When you create digital material and upload it to the internet, not only can it be viewed locally, but it can also be seen nationally, internationally, globally all over the World instantly. There are different cultural habits for people in different places. Possibly those habits need to be taken into account. Once you've determined whether or not there are any cultural taboos that you have to be careful about so that you can steer clear away from them when presenting your material. It will also allow you to focus on finding flashy / catchy ideas. Content is of course the key element. Then you can go all out. Maybe you want to add 3D logos, type, graphics or some other special effects. The skies the limit! Remember once you add sound to your material it adds an entirely new factor. Be prepared to deal with issues that relate to it. Now not only can people see your material but they can also hear it. Believe it or not, adding sound makes for an entirely different presentation. The audience can take it in various different ways. Make sure you use the proper language that is appropriate for your audience. Never overdo do it. People get turned off quickly. It is also important to note that once you mix, video, photographs, graphics, type and sound your file size grows. You will have to make sure you have the right hardware & software. You will need something that will be sufficient enough to handle all this digital data. Other things to think about will be compressing the digital data and having some means of backing it up. You might want to test your material on a few people first and get their feedback. Remember though that they are not you and do not know the entire extent of your vision so take their opinions on face value. Also if they know you they might be subjective rather than objective and they might not want to hurt your feelings and therefore not tell you exactly what you need to hear but what you want to hear! Beware of people?s opinion tell you everything that you do is Good, Great & Amazing. Sometimes it?s best to steer clear away from those types of people and look from some people who will not necessarily give you negative advice but some helpful tips or pointers. The first thing you need to do is ask yourself if you are ready for the truth. This might be a big deal for you and then again it might not. Just be ready to be in touch with you inner self!
