Assessing the Feasibility and Impact of a Remote Participatory Video Program Aiming to Reduce Stigma Surrounding the Therapeutic Use of Cannabis Among People With Mental Disorders

Evidence suggests that people who use cannabis therapeutically for mental health reasons can experience a double-stigma. This implies the need for educational interventions to shift public attitudes. Thus, we set out to assess the feasibility and impact of a remote participatory video project aiming to reduce associated stigma. We trained a small workgroup with lived experience, who successfully produced three educational documentaries about different aspects of medical cannabis and mental health. Data collected through a survey and focus groups indicated that the videos educated viewers and reduced associated stigma. This suggests that remote participatory video is a promising anti-stigma intervention.

ProjectAnatomy: a handy tool for learning forearm anatomy with augmented physicalisations

ABSTRACT ProjectAnatomy combines tangible objects with video projections that show the anatomy of the human forearm intended for learning through its eye-catching appearance. The prototype was shown to three target groups: non-experts, trainee medical students, and anatomy experts to provide qualitative and quantitative feedback. The study and observation of the users in the first two groups were carried out ‘in the wild’ where the users would come in contact with this type of visualisation to collect data on how it should be adjusted to their needs. The results have shown that the non-experts find it most helpful in learning anatomy, contrary to the experts who find it less useful yet very interesting and see its educational potential. The trainee medical students scored it the lowest; however, they would find it helpful to complement dissection classes. We conclude that this visual installation could be used in science centres and, when enriched with more details, for beginning medical students. Our study contributes specifically to the field of physical visualisation using 3D printed objects combined with projections that can be adjusted to the level of detail suitable for the target audience.

Understanding perceptions of unfamiliar drinks using natural language in simulated drinking contexts

How do people make sense of new foods and beverages? Hop water is a recent example of a novel beverage category, advertised as either an alcohol-free, zero-calorie beer alternative or a more “natural” alternative to flavored seltzers. This study aimed to understand what individual or contextual factors may cause consumers to perceive hop water as more beer-like or more seltzer-like. Participants (43 regular seltzer-drinkers, 41 regular beer-drinkers, 45 people who regularly drink beer and seltzer, and 68 people who do not regularly drink either) tasted three commercially-available hop waters in one of three drinking contexts (apartment garden, outdoor bar, or office breakroom) simulated using 360° video projection. A series of open-ended questions elicited descriptions of product perception, similar products, and potential drivers of (dis)liking.Parallel to this, we analyzed descriptions of typical beers, seltzers, and other drink categories from 518 online survey responses with Correspondence Analysis to define a Beverage Category Space. This allowed us to calculate beer-likeness and seltzer-likeness scores for common vocabulary words. The descriptions given during immersive tasting were projected into the Beverage Category Space as supplemental variables to determine their beer-likeness and seltzer-likeness. In the bar, participants more often compared the drinks to beer, while in the breakroom, participants focused more on carbonation. Regular beer-drinkers described the products as less beer-like than regular seltzer-drinkers. These findings suggest that consumers tasting unfamiliar products may assimilate expectations cued by eating or drinking context, but experience contrast effects from expectations based on similar familiar products.

Questions of (un)framedness in the post-cinematic road movie/travelogue

Image of the Road and Virtual Realis (Pruciak 2023) are travelogue video projects selected as a vantage point from which to examine our understanding of image since the disappearance of the frame and collapse of the cinematic form in VR video. Exploring the concept ‘frame’ in dialogue with theories of cinema and VR and an analysis of VR video’s characteristics, we question whether it may effect changes of perception and new understandings of the road as a virtual site/sight explored by travellers. We suggest that VR video’s ‘unframedness’ gives the unlimited freedom that allows a cognitive shift in the experience of non-narrative travelogues. This allows an inherent potential for an experience of transcendence akin to the overview effect. VR video gives spectators the opportunity of making autonomously their own journey and thus encountering new understandings and experiences in the travelogues presented to them.

Sharing Big Video Data: Ethics, Methods, and Technology

Data sharing and transparency are becoming more common across the social sciences. In this article, we provide an overview of ethical, methodological, and technological considerations and challenges when developing large video-based datasets intended to be shared across researchers. We cover data security, storage, and access as well as data documentation, tagging, and transcription. Our discussions are framed by our own efforts to create a secure and user-friendly database for the New Jersey Families Study, a two-week, in-home video study of 21 families with a 2- to 4-year-old child. In collecting over 11,470 hours of video data, the New Jersey Families Study is one of the very few large-scale video projects in the field of sociology. This project has provided us with a unique opportunity to explore video data management and data sharing techniques, particularly in light of a host of cutting-edge developments in data science.

Attempting an Ontology of Participatory Film

In this video-essay, participatory filmmaker, Paul Cooke, and social anthropologist, Stephanie Schwandner-Sievers, discuss in detail images from two activist-focussed, participatory video projects Cooke has run with young people in South Africa and Lebanon. They ask whether participatory film can communicate their creators’ activist intentions to audiences often far removed from the original context of production. They challenge themselves to answer this question by deliberately juxtaposing their respective disciplines’ distinct philosophical approaches to ontology. Bazin’s foundational discussion of the ontology of the photographic image (as a universally relatable ‘essence’ encapsulated in the image) is juxtaposed with anthropology’s ‘ontological turn’ (a radical cultural-relativist focus on people and contextually situated meaning). The video-essay reflects on whether the young participant filmmakers’ aesthetic choices generate images which speak for themselves or, alternatively, whether the transfigurations these images undergo through different registers of representation and curation – as the films move from community showcasing event to international film festival or academic setting – change their originally-intended meanings. In identifying tensions between proximity and distance, intimacy and exploitation, the potentials and limitations of mediating local activists’ voices to remote audiences through film is left up to the spectator for final arbitration.

‘Not that We’re not Hard-Working Ourselves, but Germans are the Model’: mediatising Germans as the national other in the video project Easy Languages

ABSTRACT The present paper focuses on the analysis of four videos which portray the ways British, Italian, French and Greek people talk about Germans as the national other, within the context of a video series project aiming to promote multilingualism and foreign language learning (Easy Languages). Contrary to traditional views on national stereotypes from social psychology, and on cultural categorisations of countries from intercultural communication as universally fixed entities, a Critical Discourse Studies perspective is adopted, which views them instead as hegemonic discourses, which sustain particular power relations with the excuse of ‘cultural’ difference. The analysis discloses that the mediatisation of Germans as the national other aligns with the well-known national stereotypes of competence and warmth, as well as with the widely held cultural categorisations distinguishing monochronic from polychronic countries. Yet, viewed as dynamic discursive resources, it is shown that discussing national matters is a delicate topic, requiring a positive impression management, especially within a context with ‘clear’ intercultural objectives. Moreover, these discourses lead to the neutralisation of politics through culturalisation.

The Powers of Self-Reflection in English Language Learning Using Video Project Based-Learning

Project based-learning (PjBL), focusing on students’ creativities in producing a particular task, has been variously integrated into English as a Foreign Language (EFL) instruction to promote students’ skills. To support PjBL, teachers have integrated the use of technologies in the classroom since technologies enable teachers to modify teaching-learning activities. One of the modes of technology commonly applied is video project-based learning (VPBL) due to its benefits for both teachers and students. Research reveals the benefits of integrating PjBL and VPBL by focusing on the learning outcomes. In addition, self-reflection, as the ability of students to assess themselves regarding how and what they have learned and done in the tasks, might empower students to be better. This study highlights the benefits of self-reflection in English language learning through VPBL. VPBL empowers learners to create videos on topics of interest, using English as the communication medium. This study is a kind of literature research summarizing the findings of the previous studies on the utilization of self-reflection on students’ speaking projects. The study found that VPBL fosters self-reflection among learners, as they must plan, produce, and evaluate their work. Self-reflection is a crucial skill for language learning, as it helps learners to identify their strengths and weaknesses, set goals, and monitor their progress. The powers of self-reflection in English language learning using VPBL indicate that teachers must employ such cases in the classrooms.

Developing Integrative Communicative Skills in the English Language through Video Project

One of the biggest challenges in the organization of the educational process in English is overcoming the limitations of time and space to develop communicative skills in the target language. This paper introduces vlogging as an instructional strategy and measures its effectiveness through the opinion of third and fourth-year students who participated first in a directed vlogging task and then in a focus interview. The interviewed students were a total of 60 from B1 – B2 level of English from the 3rd and 4th year of the NUPCHE undergraduate program at Plovdiv University “Paisi Hilendarski”. The assignment was accompanied by an analytical type of rubric that clearly marked the assessment criteria by levels of performance. The results of the interview revealed the advantages of vlogging as an additional opportunity to develop integrated communicative skills in a foreign language outside the classroom. Most of the participants perceived vlogging as a positive experience with benefits mainly in the direction of productive skills and developing creativity and confidence in the language being studied.

Introduction. The development of intelligent technologies requires the active use of advanced technologies and innovative approaches for the intellectualization of spatial scene monitoring processes. The relevance of the topic lies in the great need to improve the quality of video content production. In particular, there is interest in the automation and further intellectualization of shooting processes. The use of new methods of intellectualization leads to a reduction of permissible errors when creating a creative video project. Intellectualization of data processing processes from markers, namely the use of artificial intelligence (AI) methods, allows to obtain a controlled level of quality with minimal human involvement. Intellectualization of stage production contributes to the creation of exciting and innovative performances that captivate the audience. It allows creating new ways of interacting with the audience and providing them with unique impressions from cultural events. The purpose of the paper is to study the methods of intellectualization of data processing from markers during the use of automatic video cameras in tasks of observing stage action for video-photography. The results. The issue of the interaction of markers with cameras in three-dimensional space, which is completely identical to the built 3D model, is considered. Conclusions. The information technology of spatial monitoring of the scene can increase the efficiency and simplify the use of automatic video cameras in the tasks of monitoring the stage action for video-photo shooting. There is no one universal "best" method, as each algorithm has its own advantages and disadvantages. However, the optical flow gradient calculation method may be considered more suitable for use in stage production. The introduction of information technology for spatial scene monitoring based on the optical flow gradient calculation method will improve efficiency and simplify the use of automatic video cameras. The use of surveillance information technology will reduce the burden on the personnel who maintain and manage the filming and are involved in the work.
