[edit] Session 1: Introductions and goal-setting

We'll watch each other's short clips, do intros, and talk about why we're here and what we want to learn from each other. As priorities emerge, we'll carve out more detailed agendas for each of the following sessions.

Everyone who wants to participate in the track should come to this session because this is their opportunity to introduce themselves and the work that they want to do. Please add the URL of a short video that you'd like to show to your name at this page that you'll show when you introduce yourself at the iSummit (no longer than 3 minutes).

[edit] Session 2: An introduction to DIY Video

by Mimi Ito

This session will be built around a screening of DIY video that was curated for a DIY summit at USC earlier this year. The screening will showcase different genres of DIY video such as AMVs, machinima, vidding, video blogging, political remix, and activist video, and explores the different themes and techniques that tie these different creative activities together. We will use the video examples as a jumping off point to discuss different forms of DIY video making movements and practices.

[edit] Session 3: Open Tools & Business Models

This session will look at the impact of the Internet on independent production and distribution of film and video, and at new business models that change established ideas of how we incentivise and reward innovation. This session will survey various open models for DIY video production by examining video projects as case studies and exploring other strategies for implementing and managing open DIY video production.

Note: This is a session linked with the Open Business Track.

[edit] Session 4: Managing the copyright of open video projects

Session summary: How do I find copyright free/ Creative Commons-licensed/ public domain footage for my open video project? How do I correctly attribute and license the final product? What resources are available for finding out what is legal? What distribution channels make the most sense for open video?

This session explores the answers to these critical questions from filmmakers, and looks at current gaps.

[edit] Session 5: Using Video to Change the World

Using video explicitly as a tool to effect social change is a technique often used by governments and corporations, but only recently available to independent activists and NGOs. This session will introduce participants to the lessons learned by video activists in producing and disseminating/providing platforms for video for social change. Participants will relay their experiences with relevant video projects, discussing questions like: How can we maximize the impact of our video work? How can our production and dissemination strategies increase the impact of the video? How can video activism be financially sustainable? How can open source tools be used in these processes?

[edit] Session 6: An action agenda for DIY Video

Participants will prepare for report-back by finalising the Checklist on Open Video
