Welcome to the beginning of a new and exciting way to tell your stories and show your work.
Jane Steven of the University of Berkly Journalism Department wrote these excellent starter tutorials for photographers wanting to start to learn about Multimedia. The reason for us posting these tutorials on our site instead of linking to them is so that we can translate them into other languages so that Asian photojournalists for different countries can understand them easier. We thank Jane Steven for her work and great guidance.
Each tutorial can be accessed in the menu on the right.
Here is an overview of each Tutorial:
1) Choosing A Story - A multimedia story is some combination of text, still photographs,
video clips, audio, graphics and interactivity presented on a Web site
in a nonlinear format in which the information in each medium is complementary,
not redundant. This tutorial helps you understand how to choose better stories and starts you thinking about design.
2) Storyboards - A storyboard is a sketch of how to organize a story and a list of its contents. This tutorial teaches you how to make a storyboard and why you need one
3) Field Work - This tutorial talks about some equipment and things you need to remember when your out doing your project.
4) Editing - This tutorial helps you understand the different ways to edit for Multimedia and why you should edit them this way.
5) Putting It Together - You don't need to produce multimedia but you do need to understand how multimedia is produce. While a multimedia reporter will use storyboards to map out a story and then pull together all the different elements to be used, the final
design of the multimedia site is likely to be taken over by a publication's
Web designer. However, as outlined in the Editing section, it's important
for you to decide the parts of a story, the flow of a story, and what's
most important in each section of your story.
