Thinking about your multi media project

Outline what you want to first - this will help you organize your thoughts and your imagines.

Start with different pictures for starting different narrative perspectives

Take lots of pictures and come up with lots of images - you can always edit them out later; it is much easier that scrambling to find things at the last minute.

1. Point of View	What is the main point of the story and what is the perspective of the author?
2. A Dramatic Question	A key question that keeps the viewer's attention and will be answered by the end of the story.
3. Emotional Content	Serious issues that come alive in a personal and powerful way and connects the story to the audience.
4. The Gift of Your Voice	A way to personalize the story to help the audience understand the context.
5. The Power of the Soundtrack	Music or other sounds that support and embellish the storyline.
6. Economy	Using just enough content to tell the story without overloading the viewer.
7. Pacing	The rhythm of the story and how slowly or quickly it progresses.

1. The Overall Purpose of the Story	6. Pacing of the Narrative
