Pictures and Videos for you and World Accord
We have found that videos and pictures work the best, to show people what a construction expedition is actually like. We have found that some pictures / videos work better than others.
Pictures:
-
have people’s faces in them
-
are in focus and closer up (easy to identify individuals)
-
jpeg pictures without a date printed directly on the picture
-
1 megabyte minimum file size
Videos:
-
keep video clips short
-
let them tell a story (construction, the landscape, people (locals and volunteers), mixing mortar, Copan, faces of people you work with/played with, kids, what you learned, etc.)
-
no music (if the video is to go on the World Accord website or youtube channel)
-
in focus
-
3-10 minutes is an ideal length
