To use it to its full capacity, you must immerse the viewer into the world as if they are the ones witnessing the action. Let them find their conclusion and form their own opinion. That way, there is a greater sense of satisfaction if they discover it on their own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-image-61617\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"527\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/video-storytelling-guide-the-eye-fernando-martinez.jpg\" alt=\"video storytelling fernando martinez\" class=\"wp-image-61617\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/video-storytelling-guide-the-eye-fernando-martinez.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/video-storytelling-guide-the-eye-fernando-martinez-300x158.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/video-storytelling-guide-the-eye-fernando-martinez-50x26.jpg 50w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption>Photo courtesy of Fernando Martinez<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Guide the Eye<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So now that you\u2019re showing instead of telling, you can use the classic &#8220;Wide, Medium, Tight,&#8221; which has been part of the language of cinema more or less since its conception. It can be used to establish your location, show the most minute detail, and everything else in between. What you show is as important as how you show it, which refers to motivation. Why are you using a wide-angle lens? Why have the need to move the camera, or go into a slow-motion shot? Every tool in your cinematic arsenal needs a reason or motivation for being used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-image-61615\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"562\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/video-storytelling-conflict-fernando-martinez.jpg\" alt=\"video storytelling fernando martinez\" class=\"wp-image-61615\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/video-storytelling-conflict-fernando-martinez.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/video-storytelling-conflict-fernando-martinez-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/video-storytelling-conflict-fernando-martinez-825x465.jpg 825w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/video-storytelling-conflict-fernando-martinez-50x28.jpg 50w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption>Photo courtesy of Fernando Martinez<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conflict<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Conflict is the backbone of every story. It&#8217;s what your character or subject needs to overcome to make us care about the outcome. The sooner you locate the obstacle in your character&#8217;s way, the better you can use cinematography to show how he\/she succeeds or fails. Finding out the true conflict in the story you are telling best serves your audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-image-61620\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"669\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/video-storytelling-sound-fernando-martinez.jpg\" alt=\"video storytelling fernando martinez\" class=\"wp-image-61620\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/video-storytelling-sound-fernando-martinez.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/video-storytelling-sound-fernando-martinez-300x201.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/video-storytelling-sound-fernando-martinez-50x33.jpg 50w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption>Photo courtesy of Fernando Martinez<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sound<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the most forgotten aspects of video production is sound, and that goes for whether it&#8217;s a voiceover\u200b or wild track.\u200b Sound is comprised of information you can use to complement any story. The spectrum of cinema is divided between writing, imagery, and sound. That makes the sound a third of the film you\u2019re putting together and thus a very integral part. And don\u2019t forget that sound is more than just dialogue; it is also the well-timed sound effect or the perfect piece of music. All of this comes together to form your perfect visual story.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The purpose of storytelling is not only to inform, but to convey an emotion.
