NUTURING THE EMERGING LANGUAGE OF VIDEO: A Video-Making Workshop

2010年2月在俄勒冈州波特兰举行的2010年海洋科学会议期间，计划举办“培育视频的新兴语言：视频制作研讨会”。兰迪·奥尔森是一位由博士海洋生物学家转变为专业电影制片人的人，他将领导研讨会，发表关于电影制作的开幕式演讲，并利用电影向公众介绍科学主题。然后，将观看和讨论参与者提交的一些短片(大约5至10个)，并就如何使其对非科学受众更具说服力和趣味性提出建设性批评。研讨会的广告既是为了吸引那些拥有短视频进行讨论的人，也是为了吸引更多的观众观看和讨论它们。由于一些海洋科学家已经开始使用短视频进行公共宣传，这次研讨会的目的是帮助他们制作更有趣、更有说服力的视频。此外，研讨会还将鼓励更多的个人参与与他们的科学研究相关的宣传活动的短视频。

"Nurturing the Emerging Language of Video: A Video-Making Workshop" is proposed to take place during the 2010 Ocean Sciences Meeting in Portland, Oregon in February, 2010. Randy Olson, a PhD Marine Biologist turned professional filmmaker will lead the workshop by delivering an opening presentation on filmmaking and using film to inform public audiences about scientific topics. A number of short videos (approximately 5 to 10) submitted by participants will then be viewed and discussed with constructive criticism offered on how to make them more compelling and interesting to a non-scientific audience. The workshop is being advertised to attract both those with short videos for discussion and a larger audience to view and discuss them. Since a few marine scientists are already beginning to use short videos for public outreach, the intended outcome of this workshop is to assist them in making more interesting and compelling videos. Also, the workshop will encourage more individuals to become involved with short videos for outreach related to their scientific research.
