Resumen de Collaborative filmmaking and affective traces of belonging.
Lalitha Vasudevan, Joseph Riina‐Ferrie
In order to explore how experiences with youth media production resonate with people throughout their lives, we conducted video interviews with alumni from the Educational Video Center's youth documentary programs across the organization's history of more than 30 years. We talked with alumni and watched their films together to see what memories and feelings they would share through revisiting their filmmaking. We devised a multimodal analysis method that places the films alongside the interview footage in order to observe how affect was embodied by the alumni, as well as their use of affect to reflect on their filmmaking experiences. Affective moments gave us clues about how to understand and situate the memories as lingering traces of alumni's past experiences, that centered on descriptions of belonging. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
