'Write alt text like you're talking to a friend' This article https://lnkd.in/gcTuhWK4 by Scott Vandehey has got to have the best instructions on writing alt text I have ever seen. A few takeaways: - Context matters, the same image can be described in different ways - 'Decorative' images are those that do not convey visual information, so that icon on your button is probably not decorative nor is that banner image trying to convey some emotion, emotion is still information. - Write alt text like you're talking to a friend. Keep it brief but informative. Here's the link again, go read it! https://lnkd.in/gcTuhWK4

Scope 13 Are we in a show scene or just showing the scene? Experimental Indie Video/Sound ART Iman Tash, Amir Sharif, Zhubin Kalhor Scope project is to create open-ended communication with the audience through the series of experimental video-audio art. The videos displayed the mysterious self-expression of a person, place, public, and unrecognized moments that bring the realities to dream and vice-versa. There are possibilities of subjective interpretations and understanding of life metaphorically, in every scene, picture, and play of the people in Scope. Scope series is looking to bring out the viewers' attention, thinkfulness, and emotions with single shots. So the question is: Are we in a show scene or just showing the scene? Magnification of a video-audio material leads to defamiliarization and draws the audience's attention to different structures such as time, memory, expectations, and possibly self-reflection. Scope is phenomenological self-awareness of a subject regardless of the past and the history of it. We are interested in showing the presence of social and public spaces to create a new space for the audience to face self-consciousness.

Editing a documentary can feel like a massive task, especially when you're staring at piles of unorganized footage, photos, and audio files. I know the feeling—I've been there, paralyzed by the sheer amount of content, unsure where to even start. 😣 In the early days, this overwhelming sense often kept me from finishing projects. I realized it wasn't just about the footage; it was about not having a clear vision for the film and lacking the right techniques to tackle the edit. But after plenty of trial and error, I've honed some key strategies that make the process smoother and more manageable. 🙌 I'm excited to share these techniques with you, so you don't end up with a half-finished project collecting dust on a hard drive. Let's get your film or TV series out of that desk drawer and onto the screen! 🚀 #DocumentaryEditing #FilmmakingTips #VideoEditing #CreativeProcess #FilmmakersLife
