Assignment: Multimedia Story, Part 1

Due: Friday, March 28, by 5 p.m.

Think about a story that needs to be told. Make it simple, make it something you can go back to easily (as you'll be going back at least two more times, probably more, before the end of the semester). Finding an individual will work better than an issue or concept as it will give you a voice to use.

For the first part, you need to produce 3-5 photos that introduce us to your story and subject. Think about an establishing (long) shot, maybe a portrait, some detail images and, of course, the ever present medium shot. Show us who this is about.

As you're shooting, listen to the sounds. You'll be going back to do an interview and to collect natural sounds to layer into your piece.

Your final piece will be around 60 seconds in length, and the average time for an image on screen will be six seconds. Think about what you'll be asking to guide you in the types of images you'll need to shoot.
