About MediaStorm’s Multimedia One-day Workshops
MediaStorm’s one-day workshops provide participants 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, Brian Storm will share tips and techniques to improve reporting, editing and distributing your multimedia project.
This workshop is designed for anyone interested in multimedia storytelling, no experience is necessary. We will be looking primarily at multimedia methodology and theory — this is not a workshop to learn how to use your new audio recorder — it’s a workshop where you will be asked to look deeper, into the when and why of different storytelling techniques and approaches.
