Visual Storytelling and Editing: narratives for photography projects
From 35.76 C$ /h
Do you have stock footage but don't know how to start a project? When we take pictures intuitively, our own semiotics is hidden. In this workshop we will help you identify your visual language. In this process you will learn to reveal certain clues among your images to give them a narrative sense. The exercises we will share with you will make the ideas contained in your photos detonate a narrative that develops visually. If you have already started a personal project, this is the space to find routes and shortcuts that suggest new directions.
