Storytelling opportunities continue to evolve as a result of technological innovations and an expanding media universe. The digital age is giving documentary photographers and photojournalists extraordinary new ways to tell stories. With this new ability, photographers can also exercise a greater level of authorship over their work. The long-form, in-depth visual storyteller can satisfy both their journalistic and financial needs in this environment.
Storm will share how some of the top photojournalists have redefined their storytelling capabilities to include audio reporting and an eye towards publication in multiple media. Their work is capturing acclaim around the world in a time when reader’s attention spans are short. Come learn how to disseminate your work to create an impact on the subject, issue, and hopefully society.
Workshop: Saturday, September 24, 2011
In this one-day workshop, Storm will provide an overview of multimedia storytelling approaches while engaging participants in discussion about the most appropriate ways to create a multimedia story. Through real world examples, he will share proven techniques to improve reporting and post production.
The workshop will be divided into three sections of Narrative Storytelling, Reporting Approach, and Business Model. In Narrative Storytelling, we will explore examples of successful projects as well as develop the best approach for creating effective multimedia stories. There will also be a review of the pros and cons of the various narrative approaches. In Reporting Approach, we will learn about using the best tools for the story along with the integration of still images, audio, and video. And finally, in the Business Model section, we will discuss how to create a diverse model and leverage various distribution outlets.
Workshop space will be limited, so sign up early.
