The Opening Line
Basic storytelling, image by image
Learn to create a narrative in images from the ground up. This will give you prompts to use in any situation and help make your visuals varied and set the pace for a more storytelling aspect in your work. You will create a cohesive story that helps you identify different imagery to make your series more interesting and choose the best images for your set.
“I now know how to approach a project to make sure I am collecting images that will include visual variety, storytelling elements, and my own point of view. I have learned how to use words to help me understand what it is I want to say, and I have gotten practice editing and sequencing for purpose and clarity.”
