Telling stories in pictures - for documentaries

When we tell stories, we think of key sync and interviews as being the crux of the narrative. 

But the role of ‘pictures’ and visual storytelling are sometimes overlooked.

If you can start to ‘see’ this element and think in this way, then you'll add a great deal to your filmmaking. 

Using visual and practical exercises, this course asks you to limber up and stretch the visual part of your storytelling brain.
