Ramblings of a post-industrial media maker

Research Background: Ramblings of a Post-industrial Media Maker is an experimental video work that explores the growing practice and scholarship of mobile filmmaking. The affordances of mobile phone devices, tools and the Web are altering the way fiction and non-fiction is portrayed to viewers, as demonstrated through the aesthetics of works in international screenings. Research Contribution: This video work is an assemblage of a number of handheld, short vignettes that capture the everyday perspective of a pedestrian walking through city streets. The shots are recorded on a mobile phone and processed on that device using a mobile application. Edited in the phone as single shots and combined with text in post-production the work aims to draw on the affordances of the device and available tools. The work contributes to discourse on mobile aesthetics and practices, as part of the Mobile Innovation Network Aotearoa Conferences and Screenings (Wellington, Auckland, Melbourne). Research Significance: Ramblings of a Post-industrial Media Maker investigates how new media technologies and platforms are altering film and video practices. The aesthetics of mobile filmmaking are used to critique the changing role of the media producer and question the differences between professional and non-professional practice. This linear non-narrative extends my current research into transformations occurring in both documentary form and practice. It provides as evidenced in the curated selection of MINA works, an original perspective on the aesthetics emerging in mobile filmmaking.

研究背景：《后工业媒体创作者的漫谈》（Ramblings of a Post-industrial Media Maker）是一部实验性视频作品，旨在探讨日益兴起的移动影像制作（mobile filmmaking）实践与学术研究。移动电话设备、工具及网络的可供性（affordances）正改变着虚构与非虚构影像的呈现方式，这一点在国际展映的各类作品美学风格中已有体现。
研究贡献：本实验视频作品由多段手持拍摄的短篇镜头汇编而成，捕捉行人穿行城市街巷时的日常视角。所有镜头均使用移动设备录制，并通过该设备上的移动应用完成后期处理。作品以单镜头形式在移动端完成剪辑，并在后期制作中加入文字，旨在充分利用移动设备的可供性与现有工具的功能。作为新西兰移动创新网络（Mobile Innovation Network Aotearoa）会议与展映活动（惠灵顿、奥克兰、墨尔本）的组成部分，本作品为移动影像美学与创作实践的学术讨论贡献了相关素材。
研究意义：《后工业媒体创作者的漫谈》探讨了新媒体技术与平台如何重塑影视创作实践。作品借助移动影像制作的美学特征，批判了媒体创作者角色的变迁，并对专业与非专业创作实践之间的差异提出质疑。这部线性非叙事作品拓展了我当前关于纪录片形式与创作实践变革的研究方向。正如MINA（新西兰移动创新网络，Mobile Innovation Network Aotearoa）精选作品集中所呈现的那样，本作品为移动影像制作中涌现的美学风格提供了原创性视角。
