Multiple Locations Make For A Better Story

Take a look at this piece.

It was reported, shot, edited and produced by Katy Solt, and MMJ who took the 5-day Bootcamp last week.

It's a great story about where video as a business is going (note to all you video makers), but it's also a great demonstratoin of shooting at multiple locations with multiple characters for the same story.

She coudl have stopped with the couple running their exercise video business from home, that was interesting enough, but because she works alone as an MMJ (and shoot a 3:1 ratio) she was able to get over to the home of a subscriber to the video channel and get 'the other side of the story'.

They intercut nicely and give another dimension to the piece.

Well done!  

And a great insight into where the whole business of TV is probably headed.

There is a great deal of concern, well placed, that few people under the age of 30 watch TV news.

Sometimes when you are searching for something, the answer is right before your eyes. For years, I have been looking for a new and powerful way to cover breaking news stories - and now, I think, I've got it.


When we run our video storytelling bootcamps for TV news organizations, our primary focus is on what we call ‘the viewer experience’. It is a given that the journalism is well researched and accurate, but if no one is watching; if there is no ‘audience engagement’ with the story, then you are in fact showing it to no one, which is tragic, and avoidable.
