Producing User Generated Content: Recommendations and Best Practices
What is User-Generated Content?
User-generated content (UGC), alternatively known as user-created content (UCC), is any form of content, such as images, videos, text, and audio, that has been posted by users on online platforms*.
The primary means of creating and publishing User-Generated Content has become the smartphone.
According to recent data, 85% of Americans own a smartphone**. Smartphones are routinely used to publish pictures and video via websites and apps, which enables users to share their participation in an event, presence at a location, or highlight a relationship or connection with other people.
UGC Methods and Formats:
The quality and capabilities of smartphone cameras has increased exponentially over recent years, and high-quality video can be captured using a few methods and formats:
Methods: “Point & Shoot” and “Selfie Mode”
“Point and Shoot” method is similar to a traditional camera; using the camera on the BACK of the smartphone, pointing it at the subject, and filming the content. When filming in “Point & Shoot” mode, using two hands will keep the camera steadier, but watch out for your fingers blocking the lens.
“Selfie Mode” utilizes the camera on the SCREEN SIDE of the smartphone; capturing content that is pointed back at the user holding the smartphone.
When filming in “Selfie Mode”, hold the device at arms length and make sure to look in the camera and not at yourself if possible.
Formats: Horizontal (16x9) or Vertical
Horizontal format is similar to traditional film or high definition television broadcasts. This format is preferred by media professionals, and is often called “widescreen” or “16x9”
Vertical format is popular because smartphones are often held vertically when taking calls - and it's a comfortable and natural physical way to hold the device. Vertical format is commonly used on social media platforms such as TikTok and Facebook.
Environment: Light and Sound
Lighting:
Be aware of where your light source is coming from. It might be daylight, ambient room lighting, or specific lighting such as a ring light or dedicated LED light panels
Lighting can be flattering, but it can also create shadows that are distracting or undesired. More light is better than less light.. and a consistent, flat light source is the best choice. When filming In selfie mode, make sure your primary light source is “in front” of you - and not behind you shining into the camera.
Sound:
Audio is the weakest link when capturing content on smartphones.
Smartphone microphones are usually located on the bottom of the device, and are designed primarily for close and direct audio like speaking into a phone. Some smartphones have a second microphone which will capture ambient sound. Also, smartphones often utilize advanced on-board technology such as dynamic range compressors and noise cancellation that try to help the clarity of your sound.
Sometimes ambient sound or room reverberation (echo) can compete with the user's voice and diminish the audio clarity and quality of the video
Some basic guidelines:
Capture content in a quiet space, preferably without much echo or room reverb.
If outside, try to avoid windy spaces or loud environments such as car noise or machinery
When speaking, make sure you speak directly at the phone and don't talk too fast. Speak naturally but clearly
Pro Tip: Film in a car with a smartphone holder - but NOT while driving!!
The environment is closed, protected and usually quiet
Filming during the daytime will give you ample light that shouldn't be too bright
The smartphone holder will hold the device steady

Against all the forces of Gilded Age corruption, Grover Cleveland personally epitomized & returned clean, ethical values to politics & government again, after a very long absence. Sure, some of his policies wouldn't fly today but that's true of all former presidents. He was a good & decent public servant, a man of impeccable integrity, that's the important thing, during an era that desperately needed one such as he. Hope to visit the museum someday!

This is state sanctioned child trafficking- they took my daughter from me and have not given her back in 9 months with no charges, no trial and no regard for people’s property rights. Everyone who had their children taken need to file a property claim because your child belongs to you and the state cannot claim your property as theirs. Going back and forth about the case will not do anything, I pray to Jesus Christ this place gets shut down and investigated for criminal activity and negligence. Their own workers commit suicide at work but they are “child protection”. Sick disgusting people, ugly single self loathing women trying to tell parents how the raise their children. Satanic cult operating as a state agency. God will judge them all. 20 nasr victorious nasr victorious

    The history of Montclair Magnet Schools portrayed in the film is invaluable to understand what we have today in Montclair is golden. The world and certainly the region we call home, resembles the school population in the magnet system. My daughter thrived at Hillside, then Glenfield and finally at the hgh school. Preparation for Cum Laude honors at Wheaton College, Norton, MA and Masters in Psychology from William Paterson University and a career as a teacher, is the outcome from the wonderful Montclair Magnet Public School system. Standing on the shoulders of those founders and creators from the 1960-70 era, today's educators continue to lead in the preparation of our children. Thank you for all you have done.

    How many more brilliant albums are Ahmet and the embers of the ZFT going to ruin before they are done? They have all but obliterated the online legacy of Hot Rats by SEO of the dreadful sessions album. 90% of the ZFT releases have been terrible, featuring material Frank would never have wanted to be public. There is a perfectly good back catalogue to work with, which could be generating a steady income almost without any publicity or work, but here we have a series of sub-par products that do nothing to keep Frank's genius alive, and only weaken his position as the pre-eminent musical genius of the 20th century. Shameful dereliction of their duty of care in the pursuit of money.

      @@jessewoody5772 If Frank had wanted his family to carry on the business then he would not have written a will which specified that upon his death the business should be sold off and the proceeds split between the five remaining family members. Gail knew about the will, a copy of which was found amongst her belongings when she died. The archive was definitely NOT for publication, but was part of Zappa's obsessive work ethic. He would draw upon the archive to inform his ongoing creativity, but he released so much of it in his lifetime that it's very easy to argue that the ZFT are forever scraping the bottom of the barrel. Zappa was a unique person, and there is no end to what can be known about him. He was a very public figure, and a fascinating character in all kinds of ways, but our interest in the man must include honouring his dying wishes, and it's very clear to me that Zappa himself did not want his music to be handled by his family, probably because he had an inkling of what Gail and Ahmet would do to it. I would much rather the archive was made available as part of a library, catalogued and cross referenced against itself in an academic and conservable way. The family could have lived very well off the proceeds of the back catalogue without releasing all those dreadful posthumous albums. There are so many ways the catalogue could have been made into a vital part of the legacy of 20th century music, but every new substandard ZFT release diminishes the impact of the original works, some of which stand head and shoulders above anything achieved elsewhere. Gail and Ahmet even sued Dweezil for the crime of keeping his father's music alive, which tells me everything I need to know about what the ZFT is really about. £££$$$

      @@weebgrinder-AIArtistPro Dweezil talked about the will (and his mother's role in hiding it from the family) on the Marc Maron podcast not long after she died. I'm not in the US, but I did a little research and in the state of California the existence of a will is enough to make it legal as long as it's made when the person making it is in of sound mind and there are witnesses to its making. It doesn't have to be registered or recorded anywhere. Since Gail had it in her possession she must have known of it, and were she still alive she would have been open to remunerative action by any aggrieved party. Frank was Gail's only source of income, and she did everything to raise the kids and look after the home when he was away for months on end having sex with any willing woman (of which there were many), so it is perhaps understandable that she took what she could. But rather than work to enhance Frank's legacy I think there were times with some of the releases where she was deliberately trying to air Frank's dirty laundry. Either that or she and Ahmet were so cloth eared they could not hear how bad some of the material was. Frank was a big experimenter, and we are all familiar with the amazing results, but there were many failed experiments along the way which Frank would have in all likelihood never released.
