Post Subject: The Art of Video?Posted by rowuk on: 8/2/2021
Maybe it is just me but I cannot help thinking that videos simply take up more time and space for the same content. Let us take Romys video. 40 minutes. How many pages would have been a post with identical content? How long would it take me to read and understand that written content? When reading, I can scan content, focus on things that are more difficult and then put the pieces together. With a video, there is no pre scan. In the case of Romy‘s video, I watched it twice - 80 minutes and I still need to go back again for some details. If I wanted to post a video response (which will not happen as on this subject I have no well formed ideas), I would have an investment of many hours compared to minutes for blog text. Sure, that is my problem - or is it?
Granted, it is more fun to see someone talking, story telling. For a personal diary with optional feedback, this format has its charm. I know that there is technology to create running transcripts from text. I am not sure that this would accomplish the same thing as it is more like a presentation where someone just reads the slides.
With the video we also do not have full text search. Goodsoundclub has been a searchable resource for me.
One last point, seeing and hearing Romy „muse“ about a subject is also entertaining. A voice, a picture makes a more complete experience even if there is not more „meat“.Rerurn to Romy the Cat's Site
