| NYT One in 8 Million |
Being receptive means that you choose to connect with another person or video. There is time to savor and to reflect. Not just of the story being presented but to look at the technique of constructing the story.
The New York Times has various photo/audio slide shows on their web site. This specific series is called One In 8 Million where reporters and photojournalists seek out the story in a population of 8+ million people. This specific series seems to be from 2009 but the stories are timeless.
The take away of viewing these stories is to look at the lighting, the composition of the photos and the audio that is perfectly matched to the images.
What can be adapted to video? Is there another way to tell a personal narrative story?
