How we use documentary film in shared value program design and shared value impact reporting
Using our visual Human Centred Design Methodology we collected visual qualitative data to help with the program design
The rapid advances in technology and the uptake of smart devices across the globe has changed the way we can collect and use qualitative data. It has presented opportunities to enhance participatory methodologies such as Most Significant Change, participatory forums, participatory media & for human centred design.
At the Story Catchers, we have developed an innovative and effective methodology that uses film for monitoring and evaluation, social impact measurement and human-centred design processes. The qualitative data collected is used in the whole process from the initial data collection, analyzing the data to creating documentary-style reports to communicate findings.
Using documentary story and stakeholder participation in monitoring, evaluation and to create visual reports. It’s the story behind the numbers that bring a traditionally dry and boring process to life.
'The Story Catchers' use qualitative data collection methodologies, participatory media (where the audience can play an active role in the process of collecting, reporting, analysing and sharing media content) and documentary videographers to collect stories that have a greater purpose. These stories are used in the creation of a series of documentaries to be used in participatory forums to unpack the documentary films for the monitoring, evaluation and reporting process.
We all can recognise and celebrate the power of story, however is the same recognition given to the ethical responsibilities of the story catcher? I believe that story is sacred and attention must be given to the ethics of collecting and sharing the individual and community’s story.
Authentic storytelling highlights issues and encourages people to share information. Few would deny that authentic stories have the potential to drive considerable social impact. These stories are stories for purpose.
Over the next couple of blogs I will be taking a look at ‘Stories for Purpose’; what are they, how do we capture them, and how and when do we use them.
Sharing stories is possibly one of the most important ways we have of communicating with each other. It is how we share our hopes and fears, dreams, and passions and what we believe and value as well as what we do not.
Over the next few weeks I will be sharing the with you the next two sessions. These Prezis will only be up for a very limited time so please share these sessions with your community.
As a photographer I take 1000's of images every year.
In 2013 I took over 4000 images on my iPhone alone.
What an amazing way to document my life. So heres my year in images and wow what a year it was - I travelled across the country a few times for work (which is my pleasure) had some crazy adventures, met some awesome people, saw some amazing things, hung-out with some beautiful friends and family and learnt some really cool stuff.
So heres to life - and what an amazing life it is.
2013 - The year that was - as documented on my iPhone
A Photo a Day for 30 days
I am a frequent user of instagram, in fact I think I may be a bit obsessive and often post daily if not more often.
I have often thought about doing the 365 day challenge but have never got around to finish it, often stopping after a few months. However I have often done a themed 30 Day challenge and achieved success so I will start here, with a view to do 12 x 30 day Challenges + 5 days = 365 Days.
After sunset and before sunrise the night skies transform the world into a magical realm.
I’m captivated by the images that night photography produces. It offers a range of effects that you simply cannot generate in daylight.
Low light levels can make capturing your subject in focus very challenging, especially with an iPhone.
