Multimedia Story

The first part of our Multimedia Story is due this week, and I am sooo confused as to which direction I should be headed with my story. Also, I still need a ton of practice with these cameras. Yet, I'm really excited to get the story underway. What I love about Journalism is that each article, interview, story is a work of art. Seriously sound so lame. But there's nothing more artistic than taking a reality and turning it into something from a certain perspective, and showing people a side to a story they've never seen or wanted to know more about. Multimedia stories are captivating in the way that people use videos, photos and audio to set the mood of the story. 

What I want to accomplish with my multimedia story is just that. I want people to watch it over and over again and still not be tired of it. Because my idea is pretty unique, this is my one shot, and my interviewee's, to tell his story through me. It makes me SO nervous because this is my first project, but I'm really excited. Especially because this is what almost all journalists will have to do in the future, because backpack journalism is so prevalent in today's society with our fast growing technology. People want video, pictures and audio FAST and relevant. Multimedia stories take more time, but it gives us all a little sneak peak into working with tools we'll need right out of college and far beyond.
