Masterclass | Storytelling

€119

We do StoryTelling all the time, and we’re generally pretty aware of that.  Arguably, there are also multiple and distinct, yet often overlapping, StoryShowing’s approaches and templates.

Here we will present some foundational templates and ways of doing that are shared by both StoryTelling and StoryShowing.  The most recognisable one is how Aristotle defined ‘tragedy.’  We will then expand on it through the Hero’s Journey, and eventually contrast it with what the French director Godard said in the 1960s.  Whatever template we rely on, the defining feature of them all is always precision of details.

Storytelling is one of the 5 lessons of MIA.  These can be engaged in any order, even independently!, yet I would advise to follow this order: first Storytelling, then Aesthetics and Composition, and, finally, Montage and Storyboarding.

Description

Storytelling is here introduced as the intentional approach to construct a story with a clear strategy to produce a change for a specific audience. Storytelling is the pivot around which MIA is arranged.

Storytelling is a set of practices to communicate with a strategy to achieve a successful representation with either/both words (StoryTelling) and images (StoryShowing).

Storytelling is one of the 5 lessons part of the MIA course.  These can be engaged in any order, even independently!, yet I would advise to follow this order: first Storytelling, then Aesthetics and Composition, and, finally, Montage and Storyboarding.  As mentioned, you can equally work on these 5 as self-standing lessons or complement them according to your liking.

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.
