FIND YOUR STORY MAIN GOAL CHARACTERS
First
o鍖,
you
need
a
story
worth
telling.

rambling

in
a
linear
manner
(eg.
I
woke
up,
had
a
co鍖ee,
got
dressed,
went
to
work)
will
have
people
snoring
in
no
Vme.
What
is
the
objecVve
of
your
story
and
what
do
you
want
people
to

about

DEVELOPMENT GAME PLAN THE BODY
Its
very
important
that
the
character
develop
&
change
as
the
story
unfolds.
Its
important
to
have
a
game
plan
or
storyboard
but
you
must
also
be
open
for
change
and
adapt
new
ideas
if
need
be.
Its
how
you
tell
the
story
and
reach
the
end
which
makes
things
interesVng
and
keeps
people
glued
to
the
screen.

STORYTELLING
MAKE STORY PERTINENT AUDIO ELEMENTS TIMING
Eventhough
youre
going
to
tell
a
story
which
interests
you
it
has
to
be
perVnent
to
the
viewer
and
you
can
bet
theyll
be
asking
Whats
in
it
for
me?.
Always
keep
that
in
mind.
Music
is
incredibly
strong
and
capable
of
taking
you
on
an
emoVonal
roller
coaster
ride.
Your
protagonists
or
voiceover
speakers
voice
(its
pitch
&
cadence
for
example)
make
all
the
di鍖erence.
Monotony
is
the
enemy!
Not
to
be
mistaken
with
the
video
length.
Whether
ediVng
a
fast-足paced
video
to
the
beat,
using
pauses,
or
slow
moVon,
Vming
is
very
important.
The
video
can
either
鍖ow

if
its
right
or
studer

if
its
not.

How

your

di鍖erence
in

the

Before
you
start

think
about
the
shots
in

The
quality
of
the

angles
are
very
important
in

is
good
but
only
when
used
in
moderaVon.
Show
more

Why
tell
something
in
three
long
sentences
when
you
can
do
it
in
a
few
seconds
with
an

or

Tip:
watch

with

Changing
from
one
scene
to
the
next
without
logic
will
only
confuse
and

Use

16. FOOTAGE 5.1
STORYTELLING
FOOTAGE FOOTAGE & MORE FOOTAGE
In
todays
digital
age
theres
no
reason
not
to
shoot
large
amounts
of
raw
footage.
The
more
raw
footage
you
have,
the
more
outs
(opVons)
you
have
when
it
comes
to
ediVng.
ShooVng
large
amounts
of
raw
footage
is
tedious
and
sorVng
through
it
all
aYerwards
even
more
so.
But
if
you
invest
the
Vme
your
video
will
be
that
much
beder.
