I work as a Video Journalist for my colleges newspaper. Recently I was asked to cover a music event Chico Unplugged. The show was put together by the students studying music industry and recording arts.
What do you think one of the most important aspect of videos is? the audio, it can help to drive home the exact emotion effect the director is going for.
I took this opportunity to get acquainted with the people at my school who love making and recording music. I have lots of experience with filming and video editing, but very little with composing or increasing sound quality. What my productions lack and very much need is an audiophile.
Each building on my campus is devoted to a specific major. People are grouped together based on what they are studying: art, music, theater, engineering, agriculture, psychology, etc. Yet many tasks would be better tackled by a variety of people with a variety of backgrounds.
Online social networks are built to collect people of similar interests and connect them. Unlike my college, these people are spread out all over the world. Instead of spending the time to go to college to study recording arts, you can join a recording arts forum, and pitch your idea to see if anyone would be interested in helping out on the project. Social networks now allow people from all around the world to work together, collaborate, and share their expertise.
Some social networks even provide a platform for sharing and collaborating.
There are some differences in building online relationships vs. face to face relationships. Often people who use a particular social network like to see a certain level of dedication to the network, so you may need to invest time into building your presence.
Chico Unplugged just had three events at Woodstock's! Being the Marketing Rep there, I was the one that set those up. Not only did it bring in a lot of artists, it brought in a lot of supporters and fans. Over all the events were very successful for both us and them and hope to have more partnerships with them in the future. I hope you enjoyed going to them!
ReplyDeleteI feel like this post kind of jumped from subject to subject, but to comments about the face to face vs. online relationships, it is so crazy how more and more relationships are online rather than the traditional face to face. Business wise, employees are able to talk to corporate offices via email, text, and phone calls rather than meetings. For personal relationships, people are meeting their spouses online more often than ever. I actually know a couple people that have met their significant other on Plenty of Fish and a couple have even gotten married! But sometimes they don't end up so good, and shows like Catfish on MTV happen. Yikes.
