Documentary Storytelling: Explore New Tools and Ideas
Strengthen and refine your skills in telling documentary stories and discover ways to get them out to an audience. We’ll discuss how to start a project, the creative process, strategies for working in the field with different subjects and locations, and how to identify and overcome obstacles. We’ll also explore new tools that can enrich your visual narratives by adding graphic elements, such as text, drawings, or maps and we’ll discuss creative ways to tell powerful stories across various platforms. Finally, we will look at different ways of sharing and distributing a finished story to reach a large and diverse audience on your own without an agent, newspaper, or gallery.
