According to the website Digital Storytelling, the configuration of the media can be divided into three
Parts: single media, multiple media, multimedia. I will use the multiple design for my final project.
I would like to use the story as the introduction of my topic. I think this would have more attractiveness to the reader as the topic itself may be boring to most people.
The approaches that used for my topic:
- Audio
- Interview staff from NGO(fight against air pollution) like Clear The Air.
- Interview Frank C about his personal point of view of the worsening air pollution in Hong Kong (I will do video if audio)
- Video
- I may use a video clip from RTHK since it is hard to capture the video of air pollution since it is too abstract and cost consuming. Like if I want to shoot the power plant in Lamma Island then I should take ferry to there; If I want to shot the worsening air pollution in Tung Chung, I may need to the suitable days for shooting.
- Photos
Photographs can help us see things about a story that words cannot convey. However, there are not too many diversified photos I can take. Photos will add to text-based stories.- Contrast the air pollution in the past and nowadays
- Anything relevant to this topic
- The people involved in the interview
- Graphic
- Tables will be used as to show the static’s of the air pollution index in recent year
- Pie chart will be used to indicate the source of the air pollution
- Number of people affected by the worsening air pollution
- Timelines will be made to show the government effort put on improving air pollution this year.
- Text
Foust said, “Despite the Web’s great potential for delivering a multimedia experience with sounds and visuals, words are still the most important element of online communication.”
- I may email or call the Environmental Protection Department about my final project. The information I get will be converted into text.
- Interview the asthmatics troubled by the worsening air pollution (with photos)
- Hyperlink
All the relevant website will be put on the website so that the readers can go further for detail and exploring of the topic
- Opinion from readers
- The readers can leave their comments.
- A link to my blog is provided .
- Email will be provided.
Be careful about taking video from other sources: will you have permission from RTHK to use their video?
That is very educational article!!!
This makes great sense to anyone..
