MIA | Montage

Montage is key to the MIA's framework, as the intentional arrangements of the storytelling in one of its many possibilities. MIA stands for the Meta-Image App, and this is the thoroughly enhanced version of the App that the Quintin Hogg Trust generously funded while I was leading the Digital and Interactive Storytelling LAB at the University of Westminster in London, UK. MIA has been translating my expertise as a professional photographer and university professor into a consequential course to introduce foundational competencies in storytelling practices including key components in visual literacy, and it continues to evolve to respond to the latest requirements of today's digital cultures. MIA has five modules.  These can be engaged in any order, even as independent and distinct lessons, yet I would advise to follow the order they are presented with: Storytelling, then Aesthetics and Composition, and finally Montage and Storyboarding.
