Continuing from yesterday’s why videos…
The Method of making the video.
I’m not sure what I meant by that beyond the technical, except maybe this. If the video is a catechesis, how does the video affect the catechetical method. I may have to return to this, as it’s not clear what I had in mind, here.
Evangelical/apologetical
This is clear. The purpose here is getting the word out there in a clear, comprehendible manner.
Who’s the audience? Is this the best way to reach them?
Let’s unpack the long-form for a second. What makes long-form long-form? Is it merely duration of time? Perhaps the long-form conveys as much the sense that the topic being discussed has been treated in a relatively complete way. Complete, even in a limited sense. Certainly not comprehensively. Not even a three-hour conversation, or monologue can’t get treat a topic comprehensively. But it can be full of complete thoughts.
What is a complete thought?
It’s a thought a proposition the terms of which are clearly understood. The long-form allows these thoughts to be articulated in a satisfying manner. It allows them to be clarified, challenged, disputed, and even perfected. These complete thoughts stand in contrast with the sound-bite.
More later.
