Vine is a service that is accessible only through iPhone / iPad and its idea is very original: to publish a video of up to 6 seconds. We can say that this micro video blogging service already has its loyal fans. Here is an example of an original video and of what can be captured within 6 seconds: The Paperman’s escape.
Analysts say that in the next 10 years, documentary filmmaking, in all its modern incarnations, will grow very rapidly and will record an increase in the number of viewers as part of the film market. From the enthusiasts who create their own home videos and channels to major documentaries and TV channels, they all find their place and path to the viewer. As we have seen, the means of access are different and in fact, through ultra-portable gadgets like tablets and smartphones, we can consume film content while sitting on the sofa at home or while in a plane or in the open air.
Finally, we have to answer the main question: Why is the interest in documentaries growing? This is because documentary filmmaking provides the means which enable each of us to reflect the political and social environment in which we live. Every person has the means to become a source of news, to show his or her world, to publicly state his or her position, to show his or her interests and to present his or her part of reality; to declare his or her existence. And it has never been as easy as it is now. The lights are on and it’s your turn! Camera and another action of reality.
