Teen Academy - The Art of Mobile Visual Storytelling (Online)

In today's digital world, we have the tools to create compelling visual stories with video that can be more powerful than a single image. In this intermediate-level workshop, students will utilize multimedia assets, including images, audio, videos, and text, to craft engaging narratives for social media platforms. Through assignments and critiques, students will learn how to uncover the stories they wish to tell, master the art of storyboarding, capture audio and video assets with their smartphones, select and sequence video clips, and integrate audio and text into their narratives. A guest producer and editor will share their process for utilizing multimedia assets to create compelling stories. By the end of this workshop, students will create a one-minute vertical video to tell a story of their choice. The course will culminate in a final presentation for family and friends to celebrate students’ achievements.

Note: This class will be held on Zoom. Students must have access to a computer with a webcam and stable internet connection in order to participate. Students must have access to a smartphone, DSLR or mirrorless camera, or digital point and shoot camera to complete assignments. A link to join the class and additional course preparation information will be shared closer to the start of the class.
