MassObs No more death in custody

We got around to do the edit in the past three weeks. I think it went really well at least for Jenny and me, even though we had the biggest number of videos to edit. As we were the 'last ones standing'. As it was a mass observation type of filming therefore not much editing was required; we only added the photo of the victim, the title of the person interviewed and then the interview. These were mostly from the speeches in front of Downing Street, but we also had few interviews with campaigners. Here's an example of one from each category:

Demetre Frazer's Mother

Kwobena 'Scientist' Kimathi - Campaigner

Kwobena 'Scientist' Kimathi from Stephagen on Vimeo.

We didn't get to upload all the videos as we are currently restricted by the Vimeo account we have, but that should get sorted out soon.

We didn't have any major problems with filming, editing or exporting so I think our team worked very well.

Next step will be to publish the website with all the videos embedded. From what I understand from our lecturers, and from my experience of mass obs web pages ours will be rather innovative; There will be two main pages with photos that will act like buttons. On the front page we'll have the photos of all the people who passed away in police custody and when clicked the video of the interview of the family member/friend will come up for details of the case. The second page will be for the supporters / campaigners which will act in a similar way, when clicking on the picture of the interviewed the video will pop out.

The website will be used in press releases and as a means of raising awareness of the issues raised so quite a lot of pressure for us to deliver a quality product. The content is more important than the aesthetics of the website and videos, but still design is important. It needs to be user friendly and accessible to all users.
