Mobile Production

This is just a brief description of the processes involved in creating content on a mobile phone. Producing something completely from a mobile phone and transfering it to the internet can be more troublesome than many would believe, though not really difficult there is a lot of problems which can arise.

The first of these is an idea, crucial but not always easy to come by. The next is putting the idea into practice, can also be more difficult than anticipated, but the real problem came with getting a photo online. I know it sounds simple but when the cord your phone uses is nowhere to be found it gets hard. I tried bluetoothing it to Vincent who has a cool phone that automatically transfers photos to the net, but no that wouldn't work either. How can bluetooth not work? Well it happens and it blows. After that things got considerably easier, deciding to simply do it at home and email the photo.

As for economic issues, not so important for this kind of content except in terms of ease. It would be much easier for Vincent with his superior phone, but the prescence of a camera is about it, and everyone has them anyway. Personalisation of your phone can also be important in content production, just for ease again. The better knowledge of your phone, the better the content you will produce.
