Using video to disseminate research on seafarers' fatigue
| Title | Seafarers fatigue film : Cardiff University |
| Description | A research film on fatigue in seafarers. |
| Type Of Art | Film/Video/Animation |
| Year Produced | 2011 |
| Impact | 14,000+ people have currently seen the film on YouTube around the world |
| Description | The project showed that video can be a powerful way of disseminating research findings. In addition to being viewed over 20,000 times in less than a year on YouTube, the Fatigue at Sea film has been incorporated into five training courses, two fatigue awareness campaigns and has been presented at three industry meetings and two academic conferences. The reach of the original Cardiff University research project has therefore been considerably increased. It is important to note that the use of video media will not be suited to all research areas, will applied research likely to benefit most from this form of dissemination as a ready audience already exists. The importance of high production values was also highlighted as a poorly made film will reflect negatively on the quality of the research being discussed. |
| Exploitation Route | The use of the film in industry training courses, along with invites to present at maritime events is strong evidence of the use of the film in non-academic contexts. Over 30 feedback comments have been received through the website which give testament to the fact that the largest audience for the film is active seafarers working in the industry. The film is already being used by the industry in four training courses and two fatigue awareness campaigns. Having the film available online also acts as a central resource for anyone interested in the topic. YouTube statistics show the film has been viewed over 20,000 times in over 20 different countries. |
