Storytelling with video

2 / 10 Storytelling with video
• If you want to use video to tell a story, first of all have a story
• Stories are about people, emotions, hopes, dreams…
• A video that only relates facts and information may be breaking news, but it‘s not a story.
• To find stories, go where the people are. Care about them and be curious. Talk to them. Ask them ‚why‘, and ‚how‘ like a child.
• Don‘t expect the camera to find the story for you. It won‘t.
• First go in without your camera. Look around. Don‘t record anything yet. Find the action and activity that will make interesting video images.
• Shoot first, then conduct and record your interviews (you will ask questions about what you saw, not film what you talked about -> the visuals will drive the story)
3 / 10 Shooting video for your story
• Don‘t pan (move the camera horizontally)
• Don‘t tilt (move the camera vertically)
• Don‘t zoom
4 / 10 The five shot method
• Extreme close-up of action detail
• Close-up of the face of the person doing the action
• Medium shot (face and action together)
• Over-the-shoulder view of the action (point of view of the
person doing the action)
• Another angle (be creative)
