I, I, I’m not going to show you (meant to show hesitation) the just under two minutes of video I shot very quickly and almost completely unprepared, in that I had given a bit of thought to the topic, even that I am not going to talk about. Eventually, i hope to do a video covering that, as you can imagine, it was pretty horrendous.
Video quality was good, as you might expect, but (I’m not sure what to call it – it seems incongruous to call it…) the filming was pretty atrocious, handheld. Clearly, I can’t do this without a tripod, or at least a monopod. Even though I haven’t used it for a while, it’s all set up. As is the external microphone.
Talking of sound, holding the phone at arm’s length, the audio was quite good, but there wasn’t much wind-noise, and even the diggers working on the new bus stop. I was quite pleased with it.
The decision? Well, having made a decision to go back to looking at the history of Gosport to practice my video-making, I need to gather my material and that means a combination of the Internet and books, but especially the books. And that is where the dilemma kicks in. Which book to read.
I have been talking about a book “Prehistoric Dorset” which I am very keen to read, but in order to support my efforts here in Gosport I need to read books that are partially localised here or put what happens here into context.
And No, I’m still not going to show you that video.
