Break Down the Process - Tomeka Weatherspoon

The readings were especially helpful, in terms of organization and technique when creating video stories. As a viewer, I didn't think to pick a part a video story to see its framework. The process is a lot more complex than it appears. Part of the point is to make the story appear seamless. The viewer shouldn't be able to see the process, just experience the story.

Creating them still a form of storytelling, but they sometimes get a bad reputation for being overly simplified and fragmented. Those are the ones that have not been planned sufficiently. They did not break down the process and give appropriate appreciation for individual components, such as sound. This is one of the benefits of having developmental stages. It gives you a chance to focus your attention.
