In the News U Multimedia Storytelling course I learned a lot I didn’t know before. I learned about the different elements that are in a multimedia story, and what is suitable for a story. The elements include a nut graf, profile of the main characters, the main event, the process of how something works and the pros and cons of a story.

I was surprised to see that videos on the web at only one to two minutes and talking heads only last a few seconds before going into b roll. I was also surprised about the tools that are used in this process. I never would have thought rubber bands and a backpack vest would be needed, but this showed that they definitely would come in handy.

I would like to learn more about the videos. I think it would be beneficial to have tips and suggestions about what people want to look at and watch. People don’t want to bore viewers with things they don’t care about watching.
