Abstract

Our ability to play with smartphone camera apps and share our moving images with location-based overlays is giving rise to new opportunities. Smartphone cameras can no longer be readily dismissed as toys, rather they are better considered as vehicles for serious play and creative practice. This chapter provides an overview of key research and issues relating to mobile film-making and video from a perspective informed by creative arts practice research as well as ethnography. It emphasizes sharing and emergent socialities as a key aspect of mobile media and how these influence, and in turn, are influenced by creative practices and aesthetics associated with film-making and photography.
