I’ve been poking around the internet and found these:
- Hitchcock: Basic film techniques. Although aimed at budding feature filmmakers, this analysis of what Hitchcock did has some interesting bits for journalists learning to tell stories with video. Via Jason Kottke.
- Language that is spare, almost bare. Roy Peter Clark at Poynter follows Al Tompkins post on Bob Dotson’s video storytelling, with a look at the strength of the writing behind it.
- Let’s talk tangents. Mark Hancock continues teaching photojournalism with an in-depth post on one of the forces that has the most potential to disrupt good image making.
- Simon’s laws of local blogging. I’ve fallen way behind in my podcast listening, but I’m going to create the time to listen to Jon Udell’s interview with Simon St. Laurent, a blogger who has thrown himself into covering a small town in New York state.
- David Sullivan: “That was then but this is now. What are you going to do about it?” The Inksniffer provides the publishing platform for one of the best posts on the future of newspapers I’ve recently read, filled with passion and commonsense.
