In this one-week long exposure visit, the teams learnt about the technical aspects of video production such as handling the camera appropriately, ensuring audio-video sync, and working on video editing software platforms. They also discussed with the Prakriye team, various ways of addressing the main challenge of producing community video – the need to ensure that the intended messages are communicated in an appealing way, and not in a top-down manner that is reminiscent of development communication films which are usually screened under government and NGO programmes. During the visit, the Prakriye team members also shared with the ANANDI and KMVS teams, the technical know-how of working with GIS platforms, and some of the strategies for utilising GIS possibilities to visually re-combine and re-present datasets before the community – in order to enable women to critically engage with the micro-politics of entitlements.
