Multimedia storytelling

Page history last edited by staci martin wolfe 2 yrs ago

You will work with your team to put together a cohesive story around your topic. Each team member will be expected to contribute their piece of the story.

As a team you will

1. Report/write a main text story about the event itself

2. Report/write a background story

3. Report/write at least one additional feature piece profiling a character at the event - this could be an organizer or an attendee.

4. Create multimedia - photos with captions, a graph/chart and/or audio/video.

5. Build a webpage (or two)

If you don't know how to work with your photos, edit audio or video you need to learn. We will do some editing in class, but you can always make an appointment to see the instructor during office hours or revew Apple's FREE iLife Tutorials.
