3 videos about video storytelling

Rose McGowan made her first public speech after she accused Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein of rape. Different genres of platforms have publish video news of that.

When we move on to video channel of BBC news, there is a 1-minute clip about Rose’s speech. The shot sizes are mostly medium long shot and mid-shot. Medium shots are used to a small group of people are acting, as they give the viewer a partial view of the background and also show the subjects’ facial expressions in the context of their body language. We can clearly see Rose McGowan’s emotion from expression, and we can feel her anger and appeal from her arms movement.

The video on website tells story directly without any comment or direct narration, and it remains one minute speech video without any cue or subtitle. This is a traditional video storytelling shows serious and objective story by effacing narrator. Below the video there are three sentences to give the important details like who( Rose McGowan), where(the Women’’’s Convention event in Detroit, Michigan) and what (public speech). Weinstein’s opinion at the end of news shows the news can’t sand any side, and it ensures statement of each side exists in the news to reflect fairness of news.

Now we move to news video reported by individual reporter AJ+ News on Twitter. The main assumption of social media is that it is now mainly consumed by mobile phones or tablets rather than desktop computers. This represents the need for fast paced, succinct news coverage. News on social platforms is fragmented, partly because users cannot stay focused on one news for a long time, and partly because news updates on social platforms in a high speed.

To make short form news stand out, all the necessary information of this story has to be told by visual picture, subtitle and graphic. The video use clips to narrative the story with yellow and white subtitles, and it uses yellow to highlight the words to show keywords.

Many videos on social media use background music instead of narrator voice. In the video, there is still background music together with Rose McGowan’s speech.

Like we love GIF in Twitter, people’s’ eyes will be attracted by flashing out. In this example, social-native video uses flashing-out subtitles to catch eyes.

Broadcast journalism usually has a character speaking as a narrator to describe the story and introduce the background in the video. from CBS NES, this genre of video based on a powerful and professional team and has layered information. They can give more details for the story. What’s more, third-person narrative voice to tell story make it objective and avoid narrator’s view.

Linear narrative is often used in broadcast journalism video to make news firm, and it is popular in traditional video narrative voice. In the video, narrator provide information with linear chronology. It also cross the video of Rose McGowan and copy story of Weinstein to offer a conflict. It ensures the news provide two sides views and stands in the middle. In the video, it is inverted pyramid storytelling to clearly show the main information.
