During an interview with Ben, the following questions were asked in order to learn how GoPros could benefit a camp ministry.
1. What do you do there work wise?
I will be training two photographers, running the media department, and creating promotional videos as part of a business internship.
2. How is videography used in a camp ministry?
Videos are used as part of the camper week in game times and intro videos. They could also be used as part of staff training. The majority of my experience involves watching videos that camps have produced that are promotional in nature targeting younger campers or an explanation of the ministry targeted to teens and youth staff.
3. Why should videography be used in camp ministry?
Videos allow for a refined, consistent delivery of content. They can be viewed at almost any time and any place. Instead of a staff member explaining camp using works and images, a video can allow the viewer to experience camp though sight and sounds. The script can be worked through to communicate exactly what it needs to be - rambling and unclear speech is minimized.
4. How can a GoPro better enable you to capture the message the camp wishes to share?
The GoPro due to its size and ruggedness will be a great asset to capture activity times and water related activities. Instead of risking a larger, more expensive, and less rugged camera to achieve shots, the GoPro can be used in dangerous situations with minimal risk.
5. What specific camp activities can be captured with a GoPro that would not be possible with a typical camcorder?
Camp Chetek has a biannual mudpit (happening this summer), camp wide water games for Inner City Outreach week, and various cabin activities including a blob, swimming, kayaking, and tubing. The GoPro can also be used as an action camera during game times where a camcorder would not be maneuverable.
