Abstract

Digital camera functionality integrated into mobile phones is providing a new tool for users to create content, however user created mobile videos have so far remained a rather unexplored area. In this paper we present a study of 263 teenage girls who created and authored minimovies using the N73 mobile phone. In a semi-controlled setting, the participants produced 82 minimovies, analysed in this paper for their structure, style and feature usage. We compare across age groups, and discuss lessons learnt regarding the social nature of mobile content creation.Digital camera functionality integrated into mobile phones is providing a new tool for users to create content, however user created mobile videos have so far remained a rather unexplored area.
