Find a strong compelling character
that people can relate to.
Film him/her doing something other
than talking (unfolding action)
Look for a conflict or complication or
unanswered question that you will
resolve (or not).
Simplify your answer by the end of
the video.

We can paint pictures of our entire lives
with our digital trails. 



From what we consume and browse, to where and when we travel,
to our musical preferences, our first loves, our children’s
milestones, even our last wishes – it all can be tracked, digitized,
stored in the cloud and disseminated. 



This universe of data can be surfaced to tell stories, answer
questions and impart an understanding of life in ways that is
currently surpassing even the most rigorous and careful
reconstruction of anecdotes. Elizabeth Wellington

How to find a form that fits the content
"FORM FOLLOWS FUNCTION" OR HOW TO USE THIS CHART
There is a form that suits every element of a story best – no matter if you're
telling your story in print or online. This flowchart helps you to decide which part
of your story is best presented as text, pictures, video or as a graphic or chart.
Start with the question "What is the story about?" and answer every question
either with "yes" or "no". The coloured boxes indicate the most suitable form of
presentation.
Please note: This chart proposes forms you can use, but that does not necessarily
mean you should use all of them. Make choices based on your story and your
resources. The chart does not tell you what order to use the forms in. It's your
task to decide how best to tell your story.
