Have you ever imagined the process of making a film or video? Of course it takes time and detail preparation, especially if you look at the 'credit' section which lists the names of the people involved in making it, how to gather these people and to work together to make video. One part of making a video is the recording where scene by scene will be performed and recorded using camera with its various types and technology that develop based on its era.

 

The times leading to global era and based on technology require everyone to be proactive to adapt the advances. Related with the digital technology, a person must have a variety of skills, especially in using high technology communication in order to access various media, both information and social media. Moreover, the current trend of video-based social media is attracting people's attention and they are competing to upload videos both for documentation and monetizing potential.

 

Actually the recording activity is not new because it is often done by adults to children, from formal events to trivial or fun events. In fact, everyone has already a recording device that is ‘embedded’ in their gadget, but not everyone understands how to maximize the existing functions to produce quality products. From this point, Stube HEMAT Yogyakarta took the initiative to hold student training to answer their needs for producing videos by maximizing the recording tools and shooting techniques through their gadgets in Workshop #3 on Saturday, August 29, 2020 at the secretariat of Stube HEMAT Yogyakarta which was attended by nine students.

 

In the workshop as a Cyber Awareness program activity, Stube collaborated with the Multimedia team of Javanese Christian Church (GKJ) of Mergangsan who are experienced in making short videos and facilitating online and streaming church services. Richard Panggabean, from the Multimedia team, revealed that the technique of taking pictures is important in making videos because each scene has its own meaning. He explained the basic technique of taking pictures based on angle and distance (shoot), based on the angle there are (1) Frog angle and low angle (from below) mean to magnify; (2) Eyes angle is carried out parallel to the object; (3) High angle and bird angle are shots from above, which give the impression of a small or wide reach; (4) Over shoulder, usually for recording conversations between objects. Then, based on the distance (shoot) consists of Close Up, Medium and Long, which have their respective characteristics. Close up shoot is used to emphasize the expression or details of an object, Medium shoot is used to describe the object, while Long shoot is used to display the environment around the object.

 

The presentation of the basic technique of recording provided enlightenment for the participants, not merely recording, but also having a plan and message delivery of the video. The technology of recording equipment continues to develop, but the main thing is the human resources to produce good videos by continuously upgrading skills. So, let’s take advantage of the technology advances, and improve your video recording skills to produce beneficial works.

Monday, 24 August 2020
by Thomas Yulianto

The world is developing to be digitalized and cyber-based so that students are required to keep up with the era, one of which is the skill of making videos. The use of video is not new things for students, especially since the pandemic of Covid-19, because it changed the lecture system through online and video. Ironically, not every student know and master the video-making techniques due to various reasons, such as no recording device or never use video editing application.

Stube HEMAT Yogyakarta gave attention to this situation and responded with One Day Workshop #2 on Saturday, 22 August 2020 at the secretariat of Stube HEMAT Yogyakarta, as part of Cyber Awareness program. This activity answers the needs of students in video editing skills, both participants who have experience in video editing and those who have never ‘touched’ video editing at all. They hoped that they can carry out this editing process to support their skills in the future. The participants of Workshop #2 are students from various regions in Indonesia and various campuses in Yogyakarta, such as Eri Kristian, Yuli Triyani and Daniel Prasdika, are from Lampung and currently studying at STAK Marturia Yogyakarta; Sarlota Wantaar from Southeast Maluku, studying in Physics Education at UST, Irene Zalukhu and Putri Laoli both from Nias and currently studying at APMD; Nona Mariani from Adonara, a Biology Education student at Sanata Dharma University, and Satri from East Sumba, a Theology student at STAK Marturia.

 

 

Trustha Rembaka, the coordinator of Stube HEMAT Yogyakarta, opened the event by playing several videos produced by Stube activists during the previous training. “Marriage or Continue Study” video, by Linda from Bengkulu and “Physical distancing doesn't mean away” video by Satri from Sumba, and a video on the 75th anniversary of Indonesian independence about Stube HEMAT Yogyakarta and the work of Multiplicators in various regions in Indonesia. These boosted the participants to learn and to produce their own videos.

 

In the video editing process, they were divided into three groups assisted by Trustha, Thomas and David according to their interest based on the application they want to learn. In addition to explore video editing applications, they also learned recording devices, both cameras and smartphones, as well as other supporting tools such as tripods, speakers and microphones. At the end of the process, participants produced a short free-themed video as a result of today's workshop. Some participants expressed difficulties in adapting when using the application, others still learned its features and some others were skillful in editing videos.

During the sharing of experiences, Nona Mariani wanted to explore video editing skills related to Biology based on her study background, which can be used when presenting lecture materials, while Daniel Prasdika expressed the need for broader insight and complete picture for the video to be made. Unlike the others, Irene Zalukhu said that it takes patience and extra time to produce good quality videos, but the process is fun. Generally, for those who did not know about editing, now they know finally, and those who already know will be more skillful and were committed to share their skills on video processing with others.

This workshop is not the final step, but a starting point for practicing personal skills and producing better video works. Come on, students, let us equip ourselves with various technology-based skills to respond technology developments and compete in digital era.

By Irene Zalukhu

 

Information technology develops along with the times, however not all people can adjust to technological advances. Cyber world is the sophistication of electronic media in technology networks that simplify anything and bring a big influence in life. Driven by technological advances, especially the internet, there is a wider public space (read: social media). However, even though technology has become more advanced, there are people who 'stutter' with technology and even do not know how to take advantage of technological advances.

 

Based on such situation, Stube-HEMAT Yogyakarta, which concerns with the development of human resources, especially students, opens a learning space to be technology 'literate' through One Day Workshop: Cyber Awareness with a theme 'Cyber Literacy': opportunities and challenges, on Friday, August 14, 2020 at Javanese Christian Church (GKJ) of Mergangsan, Yogyakarta in collaboration with Multimedia team of the church. Ten students from various campuses attended the training which invited practitioners who were competent in their fields. In the opening, Pdt. Em. Bambang Sumbodo, M.Min, the board in charge of Stube HEMAT revealed from Colossians 1:16 "because in Him everything was created, that is in heaven and that is on earth, visible and invisible, both thrones and kingdoms, both government, as well as the authorities; all things were created by Him and for Him”.  Likewise, any advanced technology should be dedicated to glorify God's name in life. Furthermore, Ariani Narwastujati, the executive director, introduce Stube HEMAT through a short video "Stube HEMAT towards the age of 27 years of service in Indonesia" along with 75th anniversary of Indonesia's independence. The video showed the dynamics of the development of Stube HEMAT which is currently spread over 8 places throughout Indonesia which are operated by alumni who as members of the Stube HEMAT multiplicators.

 

Related with the materials, Daniel Duta Nugraha and Multimedia team of GKJ Mergangsan revealed how the condition of the church and congregation at the beginning of the pandemic in which the church services was diverted to their homes to anticipate the spread of Corona virus. Like or dislike, the church must optimize technology to serve church services by online. Of course, they faced difficulties and technological limitations, however having willingness and dedication to give energy, thoughts, time and funds, they have managed to overcome and find creativity in designing worship videos, live streaming and other devotional videos. The pandemic also hit the congregation's economy, so the church took initiative by promoting the business owned by the church members by creating an online 'market place' through WhatsApp group that sells food and other products under a name ‘Gandeng Gendong’ which is managed by Drs. Bambang P. Hediono, MBA, member of church council and supported by the Mass Communication Commission (KOKOMAS).

The next speaker was Yohanes Andri Wardhana, an information technology practitioner, delivering the topic of Optimizing Cyber for Personal Development: Expanding networks, promoting products and services and adding alternatives income. He facilitated participants to map the cyber world and see the opportunities and challenges that will occur in the future. He also discussed important things from the cyber world, from the introduction, technological advances and what the current young generation must do to prepare themselves for job opportunities in the cyber world.

This activity opened up participants’ insight about technological progress and its demands, as expressed by one of the participants, David, "From this workshop I got new provision on how to see future needs, so that I know what skills to add to be competitive. In addition, I hoped that there will be other practical activities done by Stube".

The key to be 'literacy' in cyber world is in our hands, it depends on our reaction, moving for progress or staying still then we will be overtaken by the rapid of technology development. Students, let us develop and equip ourselves with technology-based skills, as well as respond to social problems of technological mastery gaps among people in our society through transfering knowledge of technology to others. ***
