Session 1: Ask the tough questions and build a strong foundation
Effective visual storytelling is built on the fundamentals: understanding your audience and articulating a clear idea. Our own biases often make it challenging to understand what stories matter to our audience. By asking the hard questions, we’ll deconstruct what works and what doesn’t work in visual storytelling. Using case studies and questions from attendees, we’ll explore strategies and techniques to clarify the message, identify the audience and lay the foundation for creating still images and videos that will produce results. You must register to access.
Session 2: How to build an image: Composition and Light
We’ll explore how to leverage the building blocks of composition to articulate our idea and how to utilize light to amplify the message. Going beyond the misleading “rules” of composition, we’ll explore the most effective tools for using composition to tell stories: Visual Mass, Dynamic Energy, Balance, Depth and Tension. We’ll deconstruct how light can influence our story and we’ll discover how to study light. Through case studies and attendee questions we’ll learn how to bring composition and light together to create powerful visual stories. You must register to access.
Session 3: Learn by doing
We’ll share our homework and discuss what worked, what didn’t work and what we’ve learned. This will be a supportive, encouraging, hands-on exploration of the ideas we’ve covered in the first two sessions. We’ll leave this session with a robust understanding of how to create visual stories that resonate. You must register to access.
