Ravi Jain started the Boston College Minute in 2009 to tell stories “one minute at a time.” He thinks of each of these small stories as threads that come together to create a meaningful tapestry. In this session, you’ll learn how to: • Determine which of your own messages would be best served as short form video and think of ways to plot out a path for multiple episodes. • Get hands-on tips on how to effectively build out meaningful short form content no matter what your budget, equipment, or resources. • Consider the future of “extreme short form” mobile video services like Vine and Instagram ... and how early Soviet Cinema can teach us how to maximize their impact.
