Storytelling, Using Still Image and Written Word with Spike Johnson
The diversification of narrative medium is valuable. Text adjacent to still image offers the audience an intimate perspective, and alternative languages with which to view a subject. Immersive storytelling allows us the access, time, and trust to explore a theme. It offers us a rabbit hole to climb down, a doorway with which to connect empathy, and ideas to translate through reporting. This workshop will teach attendees to combine two disciplines – words and images, and the workflows to record both concurrently. It will explain methods of story selection, gaining access, written/ visual narrative building, safety, trust, and the immersive techniques necessary to allow enough time to produce material. Workshop sessions will be divided between lectures, group discussion, and critiques. An out of workshop practice project will be assigned to each attendee. No specialist equipment will be required, however each attendee should have an image-making device, preferably digital (an iPhone is possible), and a laptop computer. This course requires a minimum number of students to enroll.$325.00 -
