How to tell a story with video – different kinds of shots you need
Kim Komenich at J-school: excellent 1.5 hour presentation on storytelling along a timeline, e.g., video — how it differs from print or from still photos. Well worth watching & taking notes. Much of what he says applies to any visual stories told over time, such as a sequence of still images, not literally video. (Ironically, this is a badly-done video of him giving a presentation that’s a combo of media.) Lots of practical advice about different kinds of stories; ordering your story; but also about more techincal choices such as making a variety of shots, using a tripod, making shots of the right length.
Komenich recommends Dave Delozier as a great video journalist — worth looking at his work.
